Ice cream shoots look dreamy — until your star starts melting under studio lights. Every second counts, so planning ahead is key. With a clear shot list and a few creative techniques, you can capture crave-worthy images before things get sticky.
Here are three simple ways to take your next ice cream shoot to the next level.
1. Nail the Drizzle Shot 🍯
Nothing adds movement and indulgence like a drizzle. Whether it’s chocolate, caramel, or berry sauce, that glossy pour brings your image to life.
Quick tips:
Use a squeeze bottle or spoon for control.
Shoot in bursts to catch that perfect mid-pour moment.
Keep sauces at room temp to avoid melting the scoop.
A drizzle adds texture, energy, and that irresistible “just served” feeling.
2. Go “Out of Place” 🍨
Sometimes breaking the rules makes magic. Try placing a scoop directly on a surface — no cone, no bowl. It’s unexpected, a little messy, and totally scroll-stopping.
Ideas to try:
A single scoop on a marble slab.
A toppled cone with natural drips.
A sprinkle of crumbs or toppings for personality.
A little imperfection feels authentic — and that’s what makes people pause.
3. Perfect the Scoop Shot 🍧
The classic scoop never goes out of style. It’s clean, simple, and endlessly useful across platforms.
Pro tips:
Warm your scoop for smooth edges.
Keep extra scoops chilled and ready.
Pair colours and flavours for visual contrast.
Focus on lighting and texture — you want viewers to taste that creamy goodness.
Final Scoop 🍦
Ice cream shoots move fast, but with preparation and creativity, you can capture stunning, cohesive content before the melt begins.
Repeat these three shots — drizzle, out of place, and scoop — across all your flavours, and you’ll have a polished, scroll-stopping catalog of content every time.
