If you’ve browsed around the LISH Creative blog, you know I’ve talked about some fun photography tricks and food styling hacks before!
Like how I created stacks of peaches for a stop-motion video (and got them to stay put), or how I put together a picture-perfect salt rim margarita (that you probably wouldn’t want to drink yourself).
This time, I’m talking about a food styling hack that went viral on my TikTok channel with nearly 6 million views! Coffee lovers, this food styling hack is for you. Er, on second thought, maybe not!

No coffee? No problem
No need to brew a whole pot of coffee for this product photoshoot! All you need is a tiny bit of soy sauce and some soap. Wild, right?
I only needed a little soy sauce poured into a coffee mug, so I didn’t even have to buy a brand new jar from my local grocery store. If you have a few extra packets of soy sauce from your last takeout order stuffed in a junk drawer in your kitchen — let’s be honest, we all do — then that’s the perfect amount for this photoshoot.
I poured just enough soy sauce to cover the bottom of a glass coffee mug. Then, I filled the rest of the mug with water to match the color of a cup of black coffee. Finally, I topped it off with some soap bubbles for a freshly brewed look.
Doesn’t it look just like coffee?? Yum!
