Photography Challenges
1. The split must be crisp. A two-ingredient flat lay lives on the boundary line. The red beans and coix are poured against a straight edge, then the edge is lifted so the split stays clean.
2. Overhead light must stay even. A flat lay shows every hotspot. The key is a large soft source directly above so the whole frame reads even.
3. The frame must match the library. The cream ground and the camera height are the same as the pack family, so the flat lay drops into the same grid.
Our Approach
Build the split.
The two ingredients are poured against a straight edge on the cream ground, then the edge is lifted for a clean boundary.
Shoot from the locked stand.
The camera sits on the locked overhead stand so the composition reads square and even.
Post-production and delivery.
Retouching cleaned stray grains along the split, matched the cream grade, and delivered 2000x2000px sRGB JPG plus WebP.
"A split flat lay is a boundary exercise: pour against an edge, lift the edge, and keep the overhead light even." — June, Product Photography Team Lead
