Photography Challenges

1. Loose piles read as spills. Bulk ingredients scatter. Each pile is composed with tweezers to a measured shape so the frame reads as a display, not a mess.

2. Three colors need one appetite grade. The red beans, pale coix and orange goji share one cream ground. The warm grade is locked so the three piles read as one ingredient family.

3. The frame must match the pack page. The cream ground and the light map are the same as the pack frames, so the ingredient proof drops into the same product story.

Our Approach

Measure the piles.

Each ingredient is tweezed into a measured pile with clean edges and consistent gaps.

Lock the system.

Same cream ground, same light map and same grade as the pack and bowl frames.

Post-production and delivery.

Retouching cleaned stray grains, matched the warm grade, and delivered 2000x2000px sRGB JPG plus WebP.
