Brand Film for Ethio Gabana (pt. 1) | The Coffee | Ethiopia

Ethio Gabana is a recently established specialty coffee exporter founded in Ethiopia by Ethiopians. I was fortunate enough to film their brand and story, traveling all throughout the country to do so.

This was such a dream job to be a part of. I got to interact with some tremendously friendly people, see some of the most beautiful parts of Ethiopia, use my skills as a lifestyle and portrait photographer, and eat some delectable fresh grilled goat. Better yet, I learned a whole lot about the intricacies of the coffee growing process. Take this for example: did you know there are two ways to process coffee? There’s washed (dried in parchment) and natural (dried in cherry). Who would have thunk it!
