This stills campaign was shot alongside the Nespresso ‘Reviving Origins’ commercials in Uganda and Zimbabwe by French photographer Charlotte Lapalus.

Coffee farmers in these two regions that were previously affected by conflicts, economic hardship or environmental disasters are starting to rebuild sustainable livelihoods, restore their local economies + bring much-needed development to their rural communities.

Charlotte Lapalus is a French photographer and filmmaker known for her evocative and refined visual storytelling: her careful curation of subdued hues brings a warm, minimalist aesthetic to her work, which often evokes a contemplative and serene atmosphere.

Her work centres on human experiences, with a strong focus on women’s stories, crafting compelling, emotionally rich narratives.
