How We Create Food & Beverage Campaigns in Shanghai: Behind the Scenes with OZblu
When international brands enter the Chinese market, strong visual storytelling matters. From premium product photography to lifestyle imagery and commercial video production, creating content that feels polished, localised, and commercially effective requires much more than simply showing up with a camera.
At Outer Lane Studio, we specialise in commercial photography and videography in Shanghai, helping agencies and international businesses create high-quality visual campaigns for the China market. One of our recent projects saw us working alongside Tribal Brands Asia on a campaign for premium blueberry brand OZblu.
The project combined studio product photography, lifestyle photography, and commercial-style marketing video production across two production days and four locations in Shanghai — showcasing the kind of flexible, full-production approach often needed for food and beverage campaigns in China.
Creating a Multi-Platform Visual Campaign for China
This campaign brought together several types of content designed to work across different marketing platforms.
We began with studio product photography, capturing clean, premium imagery that highlighted the quality and freshness of OZblu blueberries. For food and beverage brands, strong product visuals are essential for digital marketing, e-commerce, and advertising.
Alongside studio work, we captured lifestyle photography and produced commercial-style marketing videos, helping create a more dynamic campaign that could be used across social media, brand storytelling, and wider promotional materials.
By combining photography and video, the campaign delivered a flexible content package suited to both international brand standards and the fast-moving China market.
Managing Production Across Locations
Shot across two days and four locations in Shanghai, the project required careful coordination to keep production running smoothly while maintaining a consistent visual style.
At Outer Lane Studio, we handle production management as well as photography and videography, helping agencies and international businesses simplify shoots on the ground in China. From scheduling and logistics to execution, our role is to make complex productions feel straightforward.
For overseas teams or brands operating in China, having a local production partner can make a significant difference in keeping campaigns efficient and stress-free.
Why Agencies and International Brands Work With Local Shanghai Production Teams
China moves quickly, and marketing campaigns often require agility.
For agencies like Tribal Brands Asia, working with a trusted Shanghai photography and videography studio means being able to execute premium campaigns efficiently while maintaining international standards.
As a team of foreign photographers and videographers in Shanghai, we understand the expectations of international businesses while also understanding how production works locally. That balance allows us to communicate clearly, adapt quickly, and deliver commercial visuals designed for both global and China-facing audiences.
Whether it’s food and beverage photography, commercial videography, corporate photography, or brand campaigns in Shanghai, our goal is always the same: creating visuals that feel authentic, premium, and commercially effective.
