The product is London Gold tea with its tag format, plus a companion coffee drink. The client wanted a warm café-at-home read, so the set is a wood plank table with a projected window shadow for atmosphere. All 5 frames were shot at the AIMI Visual Media studio in Guangzhou, China.

Photography Challenges
1. Window shadows must fall where composed. The projected window shadow is a gobo pattern. The pack is placed inside the shadow grid so the light lines frame the product, not cross the label.
2. The tag string must hang naturally. The tea tag string is arranged with a small hidden support so the tag hangs at a readable angle beside the cup.
3. Two drinks, one mood. The tea and the coffee share the plank set and the shadow pattern so the pair reads as one brand world.
Our Approach
Tag hero first.
Frames 01-02 establish the tea tag on the plank set and the hanging tag over the brewed cup.
Coffee pairing and label proof.
Frames 03-04 add the coffee drink pairing and the tag label close-up.
Range closer.
Frame 05 finishes with the tea and coffee group.
Post-production and delivery.
Retouching held the shadow edges, matched the warm grade, and delivered 2000x2000px sRGB JPG plus WebP.
"Atmosphere props are a placement game: put the product inside the shadow grid, never under a random stripe." — June, Product Photography Team Lead
