The product is a roasted nuts line in four SKUs: cashews, almonds and mixed nuts. The roasted kernel texture is the quality signal, so the library covers the hero bowl, the per-SKU piles, the texture macro and the flat lay system. All 9 frames were shot at the AIMI Visual Media studio in Guangzhou, China.

Photography Challenges
1. Roasted kernels go dull under flat light. The roasted surface dies without texture. A warm raking key pulls the kernel edges into highlight so the roast reads.
2. Four SKUs need one warm world. The four nut types share the warm set and the grade so the library reads as one line.
3. Scatters must read composed. The nut scatters are placed with tweezers so the frame reads as a display, not a spill.
Our Approach
Hero bowl first.
Frame 01 sets the hero bowl on the warm set, the anchor of the library.
SKU piles and texture.
Frames 02-05 run the per-SKU piles and the roasted kernel macro.
Lineup and flat lay closers.
Frames 06-09 finish with the SKU lineup, the scoop pairing, the flat lay and the wide set view.
Post-production and delivery.
Retouching held the roast highlights, matched the warm grade, and delivered 2000x2000px sRGB JPG plus WebP.
"Nut photography is a raking light exercise: rake the kernels, tweeze the scatter, and keep the four SKUs in one warm world." — June, Product Photography Team Lead
