Recently, Maggi Magic Sinigang powdered soup base (sinigang is a Filipino soup with a distinct sour flavor) decided to update its packaging. The packaging has many elements and we shot each element separately.
First was the hand model holding the soup pot. The pot was silver and highly reflective so I had to cure that.
Next was the food which Bel prepped. Bel has learned a few tricks on prepping soups since her first job which was a stew.
Last were the raw vegetables which were photographed individually.

Lights and modifiers I used:
Hensel Tria 2400 with 2 heads
4 Hensel Proplus 500
1 octagon bank
2 softboxes
It was one of those satisfying shoots, one that presented a puzzle and you had the solution. It was especially great exchanging photographic technicalities with Zul Hassan, our art director from Singapore, who flew in just for the shoot. And it is always delightful to work with the Maggi team.
