02 / A PRACTICAL WORKFLOWSTART WITH YOUR PHOTO
01Keep the selection tied to the actual offer
Record each chocolate name, decoration and location in the offered selection. Photograph the actual assortment instead of filling an empty box with an idealized repeat of one piece. State the supplied count and whether seasonal substitutions exist in your real offer. Keep a box-only presentation separate from the contents photograph.
Valrhona’s bonbon catalogue shows exterior and cut interior views for products with fillings. Use the distinction for your own photography, not the catalogue’s images or recipes as evidence of your sweets. A real cut sample can help explain a filling, while your ingredient and allergen information must remain tied to the actual product documentation.
Photograph the shell and cut sample as different records
Use a broad light and an uncluttered surface for the exterior so the decoration remains visible. Keep a stable camera angle and take trial frames before handling the whole selection. Avoid retouching a matte finish into a uniformly glossy shell or deleting a detail that distinguishes one flavor from another.
Cut a separate real sample to reveal its actual filling, then identify it as a cut demonstration rather than untouched sale stock. Keep the exterior and interior paired with the right flavor. A crumb or ingredient placed nearby can imply a recipe, so use it only when accurate and clearly part of the image’s role. A generated cross-section is imagined food, not evidence of your filling or portion size.
Try a serving composition without changing the sweets
Choose one clear photograph of the actual chocolates for a Fayvoro scene attempt. Request a quiet dessert-table surface and no extra pieces, ingredients or cut sections. Keep the factual assortment and cut-sample photographs available. The attempt does not certify count or preserve every small decoration.
Compare shape, finish, decoration, piece count and any visible interior with the real source. Reject invented nuts, fruit, filling layers or a larger portion. A scene must not imply that a plate, cup or garnish is included. Use the unchanged real photographs when a generated detail would be hard to inspect or could confuse the offered selection.
