Starbucks Terminal 5

A couple of weekends ago a headed down to London to photograph the new Starbucks store at Terminal 5C. The images were to be used for media purposes to accompany interviews with Starbucks chairman and CEO Howard Shultz on a recent visit to the UK.

It was a rather strange experience being in the new terminal wing before it was open to travellers. Certainly made the job easier. As did having a fantastic looking store to photograph.

Starbucks Edinburgh Re-design

I have been working with Starbucks over the last couple of months to provide photography services for the redesign of their flagship store on Edinburgh's Royal Mile which has been completely renovated.

I was commissioned to photograph the store before and after renovation and also to provide press images (above) on the opening day. The press photographs show customers enjoying the new store and include portraits of Darcy Willson-Rymer, managing director of Starbucks UK and Ireland.

The press day also included an illustrated talk by Tim Pfeiffer, senior VP Global Design, coffee masterclasses by Alan Hartney, Starbucks UK Coffee Ambassador and specially created canapes by Edinburgh chef Tony Singh.
