The product is Dyganic Egg preserved eggs, a premium century egg line with amber translucent whites and pine-flower patterns. The frames had to prove the pattern and the packaging, so the set is rustic gingham and straw for the food, with clean box heroes for the retail read. All 10 frames were shot at the AIMI Visual Media studio in Guangzhou, China.

Photography Challenges

1. The pine-flower pattern is the proof. Century egg quality reads in the crystal pattern on the white. The eggs are cut with a wire, not a knife, so the surface stays smooth and the pattern shows without drag marks.

2. Dark yolk on dark plate disappears. The cut halves sit on dark plates for the rustic read, so a rim light separates the egg edge and the amber white gets a small transmitted highlight.

3. Straw nests must look laid, not scattered. The straw is twisted into a loose nest and the eggs are seated into it, so the frame reads as a farm moment, not a pile.

Our Approach

Rustic food block.

Frames 01-03 and 05-07 work the gingham and straw set: the nest, the cut half, the soy pairing, the texture close-up and the peeled egg.

Pattern proof.

Frames 02 and 06 go close on the cut faces, where the pine-flower pattern and the amber white carry the quality argument.

Box heroes.

Frames 04 and 08-10 switch to the packaging: the open box, the gingham hero and the range group.

Post-production and delivery.

Retouching held the amber translucency, matched the rustic grade, and delivered 2000x2000px sRGB JPG plus WebP.

"Century egg photography is a wire-cut exercise: smooth face, lit amber, and the pattern does the talking." — June, Product Photography Team Lead

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a 10-frame egg set priced?

Styled creative frames start at $35 per image under our Growth package, so this set runs from $350 including styling and retouching. All rates are starting prices, and the final quote depends on your requirements.

Can you show the pine-flower pattern clearly?

Yes. The eggs are wire-cut for a smooth face, and the amber white gets a transmitted highlight so the crystal pattern reads at zoom.

How long does a 10-frame session take?

This set was delivered in our standard 5-7 business day window: styling and cutting tests, one shooting day, then retouching.

Do you add white-background versions for marketplaces?

Yes. Pure white-background frames start from $12 per image under our Essential package, delivered at 2000x2000px sRGB with a full commercial license.
