Behind the Lens: Mr Black’s Espresso Martini Event in Shanghai
Last month, we had the pleasure of documenting an exclusive event at the prestigious Shangri-La Jing'an in Shanghai, hosted by Mr Black — the iconic Australian coffee liqueur brand known for redefining the espresso martini experience. The evening was designed to highlight their innovative espresso martini machine, a sleek new system that can craft the perfect cocktail at the push of a button.
Working out of Shanghai, we love capturing events that have a story to tell. The Mr Black night was a perfect reminder of how good photography can turn a moment into something memorable.

A Night of Innovation and Style
The 1515 West bar of the Shangri-La Jing’an provided the ideal setting — sophisticated lighting, a vibrant crowd, and a curated atmosphere that matched the refined taste of Mr Black. Guests included bartenders, industry professionals, and KOLs eager to see the espresso martini machine in action.
Within seconds, perfectly poured martinis — creamy, chilled, and consistent every time. The excitement in the room made for fantastic visual storytelling opportunities, and we focused on capturing every key moment with both still photography and cinematic video footage.
