Red-heart kiwi halves on a cutting board showing the flesh texture

One high-key frame for red-heart kiwi halves: the fruit split on a cutting board so the flesh texture and the red heart read at full size, split on set and shot immediately while the flesh still read juicy, at the AIMI Visual Media studio in Guangzhou, China.

The product is red-heart kiwifruit, halved on a cutting board to show the flesh texture and the red heart. The frame is the second detail companion to the lemon and kiwi library: the same cutting board, the same light map, the fruit split instead of sliced. Shot at the AIMI Visual Media studio in Guangzhou, China.

Photography Challenges

1. The cut face must stay moist. The halved kiwi dries at the surface within minutes. The fruit is split on set and shot immediately while the flesh still reads juicy.

2. The red heart must center. The halves are placed so the red heart pattern reads centered in the frame, not cut off by the edge.

3. One frame must match the library. The cutting board and the light map are the same as the parent set, so the detail page reads as the same system.

Our Approach

Split on set.

The kiwi is halved immediately before the frame, so the flesh reads fresh and moist.

Center the heart.

The halves are placed so the red heart pattern reads centered in the frame.

Post-production and delivery.

Retouching held the flesh brightness, cleaned the board, and delivered 2000x2000px sRGB JPG plus WebP.
