Five seasonal frames for a food client covering the year: zongzi with tea for the festival season, a strawberry milk splash, mousse cake, a cooked prawn and a fresh salad, each in its own set mood but held together by one locked grade family, at the AIMI Visual Media studio in Guangzhou, China.

The client is a food brand that needed five seasonal campaign frames in one session: festival zongzi with tea, a strawberry milk splash for summer, a mousse cake, a cooked prawn and a fresh salad. Each frame got its own set mood, but the grade holds them as one library. All 5 frames were shot at the AIMI Visual Media studio in Guangzhou, China.

Photography Challenges
1. Five moods, one library. Festival, summer splash, patisserie, seafood and salad frames could scatter. The grade and the prop discipline hold the set as one brand library.
2. A splash is a statistics game. The strawberry milk splash is shot at 1/2000s flash duration, repeated until the crown shape and the strawberry position land together.
3. The prawn must read cooked, not raw. The prawn is poached to a fixed curl and chilled, then finished with a glaze so the flesh reads firm and glossy.
Our Approach
Festival opener.
Frame 01 sets the zongzi with tea in a warm festival scene, the seasonal anchor of the library.
Splash hero.
Frame 02 freezes the strawberry milk splash at high flash duration for the summer campaign slot.
Patisserie, seafood and salad.
Frames 03-05 cover the mousse cake, the glazed prawn and the fresh salad, each in its own set with the same grade family.
Post-production and delivery.
Retouching cleaned splash overshoot, matched the library grade, and delivered 2000x2000px sRGB JPG plus WebP.
"A seasonal library is five moods with one spine: keep the grade constant and the year holds together." — June, Product Photography Team Lead
