Peet's obejctive was to capture the beauty of a morning ritual that millions of people experience. It's hard not to recognize the artistry in cream swirling into dark coffee. Capturing the swirl at just the right moment requires some patience, considering our objective was to capture it all in one shot and not rely on our retoucher to composite several images together.

Below you will find cream swirling in Peet's Black Tie, what you won't find is any compositing done to achieve it.
