We wanted a product bloom. Recently had the pleasure of hosting Brew & Bloom Tea in the studio for their first ever product photography shoot. This multi-day shoot focused on creating a versatile image library, capturing everything from tea packaging and loose tea leaves to accessories and lifestyle setups. By combining clean white background product photography with carefully styled lifestyle scenes, we delivered a cohesive collection of images designed for websites, e-commerce, and marketing use. Below, we break down how thoughtful planning, collaboration, and creative direction helped us achieve such a wide variety of shots.

This is all on a soft cream backdrop with some texture. A leafy shadow comes in from the left hand side. Shot in the Future Proof studio located in Bristol for tea company Brew and bloom.

Production & Planning for Product Photography

For any multi-day commercial photoshoot, clear planning is essential. Our production managers at Future Proof worked closely with Brew & Bloom to ensure everyone was aligned before the shoot began.


This included:

  • Completing detailed creative briefs

  • Developing mood boards

  • Understanding the product range and brand values

  • Creating a comprehensive product photography shot list


On-Set Collaboration With the Client

We were lucky to have a member of the Brew & Bloom team present in the studio throughout the shoot. Their involvement helped with styling the tea, refining setups, and providing instant feedback.


For clients unable to attend in person, we also offer remote shoot monitoring via WhatsApp, allowing real-time updates and approvals. Both approaches ensure transparency, clear communication, and a smooth production process.Strong pre-production allowed us to work efficiently in the studio while staying true to the brand’s vision.

Creating a Consistent Visual Style

Developing a strong visual identity was key for Brew & Bloom’s brand launch. We focused on simple, elegant product photography, supported by:

  • Soft, diffused lighting to minimise shadows

  • Natural-toned backdrops to let the product stand out

  • Clean, minimal styling to reflect the brand’s values


These choices helped the packaging colours and textures pop while maintaining a timeless, premium feel.

Close-Up Product Photography & Consistency


For detailed shots of the loose tea leaves, we used small clamp rigs to precisely control placement and framing. This allowed us to replicate setups exactly across multiple teas, ensuring consistency throughout the shoot.


As the images were intended primarily for website and e-commerce use, maintaining uniform lighting, angles, and spacing was essential.



Visual Storytelling Through Product Photography


Each shoot day focused on a different tea, allowing us to create small visual narratives for each product. Clear communication between our team and Brew & Bloom ensured we fully understood the story, ingredients, and purpose behind each blend.

By taking the time to understand the product, we were able to represent the range in a way that felt authentic, considered, and brand-led.

The Result

The final outcome was a cohesive, high-quality set of product and lifestyle images that not only showcased Brew & Bloom Tea beautifully, but also established a strong visual foundation for the brand as it continues to grow.
