Photography Challenges

1. Gold on gold is a tonal argument. The gold bottle on the gold backdrop disappears without separation. The backdrop is held a half stop deeper and the bottle gets a rim light so it reads forward.

2. Crystal glassware shows every fingerprint. The crystal is polished between takes and handled with gloves, so the glassware reads clean.

3. The cap and label need gridded light. The gold cap and the printed label reflect the room. A small gridded source draws them clean.

Our Approach

Gold hero first.

Frame 01 sets the bottle on the gold backdrop with the crystal glassware.

Origin props.

Frame 02 adds the goji berries and wheat stalks for the grain origin read.

Label and pour closers.

Frames 03-04 finish with the label macro and the poured tasting glass.

Post-production and delivery.

Retouching cleaned the crystal, held the gold grade, and delivered 2000x2000px sRGB JPG plus WebP.

"Gold baijiu is a separation exercise: deepen the backdrop, rim the bottle, and grid the cap." — June, Product Photography Team Lead
