Every product photoshoot is a journey into creativity, and RED CAT PICTURES’ latest product photography project, the 🍫CHOCOLATE PHOTO SHOOT for FANCIS, was no exception. Designed to promote their delectable 🍫chocolate bars, this packaged food shoot was all about showcasing the product’s charm against both minimalist and vibrant backdrops.

Setting the Stage

The creative vision was clear from the outset: capture the rich allure of FANCIS's 🍫chocolate bars. RED CAT PICTURES aimed to highlight the product's enticing details using a blend of plain white backgrounds for a classic look and colorful backgrounds to evoke energy and playfulness. With strategic lighting, carefully chosen props, and a female model, every element was set to accentuate the unique appeal of these 🍫chocolate bars.

The Creative Process

From planning to execution, the 🍫CHOCOLATE PHOTO SHOOT was a meticulously orchestrated effort. We began by conceptualizing each scene—ensuring that every shot would both inform and inspire. Our setup included an array of lights and props designed to draw attention to the texture and design of the 🍫chocolate bars. The female model played a key role in bringing warmth and relatability to the visuals, seamlessly integrating with the overall narrative.

Lighting Challenges

In product photography, mastering the angle of incidence–the angle at which light strikes a surface–and the corresponding angle of reflection is crucial because the law of reflection dictates that these two angles are always equal, allowing predictable light behavior. By positioning the main light and reflectors at precise angles, you can control where highlights fall and how much glare appears on shiny or textured products. This control over light not only helps in minimizing unwanted reflections but also enhances depth, definition, and the overall visual appeal of the product, resulting in clean, professional-quality images that showcase every detail. RED CAT PICTURES lead by chief photographer Aratrik Nandy took special care about this rule.

Overcoming the Glossy Challenge

No creative process is without its hurdles. Our biggest challenge emerged from the glossy wrappers of the 🍫chocolate bars. The mirror like reflective surfaces initially disrupted our lighting setup, making it difficult to capture the perfect shot. However, by experimenting with different camera angles and adjusting our light placements, we were able to tame the shine and highlight the product's finer details. This trial-and-error approach not only solved the problem but also added a creative twist to our work, showcasing our ability to adapt and innovate under pressure.

The Outcome and Impact

After extensive experimentation with light modifiers, camera angles and a lot of creative brainstorming, the final images turned out exceptionally well. The mix of plain white and colorful backgrounds provided a versatile visual narrative that truly captured the essence of FANCIS's 🍫chocolate bars. The client was highly satisfied with the results, and RED CAT PICTURES’ innovative solutions to the glossy challenge only enhanced the overall impact of the shoot.
