The product is Yi He Tang bubble tea: fruit teas and milk teas with pearls, foam and fruit garnishes. The frames had to read fresh and summery, so the set is bright and pastel with fruit props and ice. All 8 frames were shot at the AIMI Visual Media studio in Guangzhou, China.

Photography Challenges

1. Pearls sink and foam dies. The pearls sink to the bottom and the foam collapses fast. The drink is assembled on set and shot immediately, while the pearls and foam still read fresh.

2. Fruit garnishes go dull under warm light. The orange, watermelon and passion fruit props go waxy under warm light. The key is held neutral at 5500K so the fruit stays bright.

3. Eight drinks need one summer world. The bright pastel set and the fruit props stay constant, so the whole menu reads as one season.

Our Approach

Fruit tea block.

Frames 01, 04 and 07 cover the fruit teas with orange, watermelon, lemon and passion fruit on the bright set.

Milk tea block.

Frames 02-03 and 05-06 cover the milk teas and milk caps with pearls, foam and caramel drizzle.

Group closer.

Frame 08 pulls the full range into one frame for the menu cover.

Post-production and delivery.

Retouching cleaned condensation and foam overshoot, matched the bright grade, and delivered 2000x2000px sRGB JPG plus WebP.

"Bubble tea photography is a freshness race: assemble on set, shoot fast, and keep the fruit bright." — June, Product Photography Team Lead
