The product is an iced fruit tea line in four flavors. The client wanted a bold social read, so each flavor gets its own color-block backdrop, with fresh fruit in the cup and real condensation on the glass. All 8 frames were shot at the AIMI Visual Media studio in Guangzhou, China.

Photography Challenges

1. Color blocks can swallow the drink. A saturated backdrop can overpower the tea. The drink sits forward of the backdrop with a soft shadow, and the backdrop color is a tint below the drink color so the cup stays the hero.

2. Condensation dies fast. Real condensation fades in minutes under studio heat. The glass is misted with glycerin so the droplets hold through the setup.

3. Fruit inside the cup sinks. The orange slices and berries are placed per frame and shot immediately while they float and read fresh.

Our Approach

Flavor color block.

Frames 01-04 give each flavor its own backdrop: coral for orange, pink for berry, yellow for lemon, mint for the green tea.

Pairing and detail block.

Frames 05-07 add the two-tea pairing, the fruit-inside close-up and the condensation macro.

Range closer.

Frame 08 finishes with the full flavor group across the color blocks.

Post-production and delivery.

Retouching held the backdrop tints, cleaned condensation runs, and delivered 2000x2000px sRGB JPG plus WebP.

"Color-block drinks are a hierarchy: backdrop a tint below the drink, fruit placed per frame, droplets that hold." — June, Product Photography Team Lead
