CPG / Packaged Food
CPG and Packaged Food is where most of the classic food-photography tricks actually live, because the real product rarely survives long enough under hot lights for the shot. On Visie, that craft spans campaign and product photography for marques like Heinz, Oreo, Doritos, and Snickers, built and rebuilt by hand between nearly every frame.
