02 / A PRACTICAL WORKFLOWSTART WITH YOUR PHOTO
01Make a dry packaging record before a styled frame
Record the selected drink, flavor, can size and packaging version. Take a dry real can photograph with the front design legible, then a separate factual label-detail image where needed. Do not use one flavor’s back label behind another flavor’s front. Keep any carton or multipack photograph tied to the actual supplied count.
Use a nearly square front orientation for the most important wording, then add an angled view that explains the can’s curved metal form. Broncolor’s bottle-lighting demonstration shows how controlling a reflection can describe curved packaging. For your can, move the light or card until the label reads clearly without inventing a flat, reflection-free material.
Separate metal highlights from serving styling
Keep camera and can position fixed while comparing trial reflections from a broad light. Check the rim, top tab and lower edge in a real closer frame if their format matters. Do not erase dents from sale-condition photographs or replace the can’s genuine seam with an ideal outline. A highlight across the label should not make a flavor name disappear.
Make a different real or clearly identified concept image for a cold-drink mood. If you use droplets or a glass in a real session, keep packaging legibility and inclusion status explicit. A poured drink, garnish or foam should represent what you can actually substantiate. Water droplets alone cannot establish carbonation, chill duration, freshness or a serving recommendation.
Review a scene against the dry packaging original
Upload one clear actual can photograph to Fayvoro and request a quiet serving-display scene. You can explore a lighting mood without asking it to recreate nutrition text or a new package. Keep the original dry-label image in the factual gallery; this is not a certified packaging-preservation workflow.
Check top-tab construction, can height-to-width ratio, flavor name, visible claims and printed graphics. Reject changed wording, a second can or a different package size. If a candidate adds droplets that obscure the label, keep it out of the buying record. An atmospheric image cannot supply proof of formulation, storage behavior or actual cold performance.
