DOP’s Perspective:
When I first picked up the Cooke SP3 series, what immediately drew me was their ability to combine classic Cooke warmth with a modern, compact design. While shooting the Chandra Coffee TVC, I truly experienced their character…
Especially in the coffee shots. The way the lenses responded to the texture of steam, the glow of warm light on the liquid, and the subtle tones of the coffee beans was remarkable. With the 50mm in particular, I was captivated by how the highlights dissolved so gently, giving the images a soft, filmic quality, while the natural contrast rendered each frame with a refined cinematic elegance. It felt as though the lens itself was shaping the mood, making the visuals beautiful.
