PACKAGES

Check your mission dashboard or your OCUS email notifications for package details on your mission. This tells you the number of dishes you are required to capture.

We recommend that you take a few more pictures than what's mentioned on your mission, in order to secure your work and avoid reshooting (hold on to the additional pictures till your mission is validated 100% successfully). However, DO NOT upload them to your mission.

KEY POINTS

Amount of images:

• Follow the Menu list/PRODUCT_0 list to determine the items that need to be shot. If you notice that the PRODUCT_0 list has more dishes than what you are required to shoot, simply ask the advertiser to choose the most popular dishes

• Do not photograph items out of product list unless you have photograph all the items in the list and the package still allow you to photograph more dishes

• Please remind the restaurant owner that they can be charged by FoodPanda if they don’t follow the product list

• You can photograph the dishes prepared by the restaurant owner If the FoodPanda did not provide you with a product list

• This is a single dishes only package, so do not take any hero shoot for this mission.

Respect composition constraints:

• background, light, dishes

• products appears clearly in focus and in the centre of the photo

• photo should not contain additional items (foods) that are not included in the product and will not be delivered to the customer

• always prefer rounded plates if possible

• don't place the board/plate with direct sharp angle to the consumer’s view to avoid the bad customer experience

• don't choose a familiar color between the background and the dish. Keep it contrasted

• don't place the plate vertically to avoid the retinal disturbances

• don't include props/unnecessary stuff into the photo

• make sure to not include patterned plate

• no shadow and reflections of people or other objects

• no business card with restaurant contact detail

Background recommendations:

• no stripes background

• dark color background for plastic packaging

• plain bright/dark background

• solid color (Prefer pastel tone)

• wooden background

It is recommended to have lighter background than the dish. 

It’s recommended to use a contrasted background colour rather than using a similar tint.

Choose the clean background without any distraction as the line or too dark texture.

Do not change the background and use the same background on all the photos

Always keep in mind future formats for the app (horizontal format only + multiple ratios to anticipate)

Lifestyle photo is recommended: Product should be displayed with appropriate amount of props and garnishes that compliment the main product but do not overshadow the main product and should not give a wrong impression to customers that they will get additional items.

Nodust, dirty spots or fingerprints

According to the situation and the weather, adapt these recommended settings. Use long shutter speed if needed but don’t use too high ISO.

We understand unexpected situations can arise in each shoot, so please use your best judgement.
