The product is the Yihetang fruit tea line with its snack sides: fruit teas, milk teas and small plates sold together. The menu refresh needed drink heroes and pairing frames, so the sets split between warm wood for the cozy reads and grey for the clean reads. All 10 frames were shot at the AIMI Visual Media studio in Guangzhou, China.

Photography Challenges

1. Tea color drifts across sets. The same fruit tea reads amber on wood and pale on grey. Each drink is color-checked against a reference card so the tea tone matches across both sets.

2. Fresh fruit sinks and clouds. Orange slices and mint sink or bruise within minutes. The fruit is placed per frame and the drink is shot immediately.

3. Snack pairings must not steal the cup. The snack plates sit lower and softer in the frame so the tea cup stays the hero of every pairing.

Our Approach

Wood set block.

Frames 01, 03-04 shoot the warm reads: orange tea, the two-tea pair and the milk tea with cookie.

Grey set block.

Frames 02, 05-06 switch to the clean reads: snack pairing, lemon tea and the cake pairing.

Detail and range closers.

Frames 07-10 finish with the fruit-inside close-up, the snack plate, and the two range groups.

Post-production and delivery.

Retouching matched the tea tones across sets, cleaned condensation, and delivered 2000x2000px sRGB JPG plus WebP.

"Tea and snack menus are pairing discipline: the cup leads, the plate follows, and the tea color never drifts between sets." — June, Product Photography Team Lead
