Coffee & Tea Product Photography Montreal: Bag Shots, Brewin

Quebec’s specialty coffee scene has exploded since 2020 — third-wave roasters in Mile End, the Plateau, Verdun and the South Shore are shipping single-origin coffees across Canada, and a growing tea cluster (Camellia Sinensis, David’s Tea alumni, niche herbal lines) is doing the same. Both categories live and die on online imagery. This is a guide to coffee and tea product photography in Montreal — bag shots, brewing scenes, and the catalogue work that makes a roastery look national.

Why coffee and tea photography is harder than it looks

The bag is the problem. Most specialty coffee bags are matte black or kraft brown with a small label area. Without careful lighting, the bag goes flat and the label disappears. The fix is grazing side-light to bring out the bag’s texture (matte foil, kraft paper, embossing) plus a soft fill on the label so the type stays legible. Tea tins and pouches have the opposite problem — reflective foil that picks up the room — and need diffused, controlled light.

Then there’s the brew scene. Pouring coffee, blooming a French press, steam off a freshly poured cup, the bloom of a tea leaf opening — all of these need either a strobe-frozen capture (for stills) or a 60fps+ video capture (for Reels and stop-motion).

What we shoot for coffee roasters and tea brands

A typical specialty-coffee catalogue session covers: bag-front hero on a near-white surface; bag-three-quarter showing the side gusset and label; bag-back showing brewing instructions and origin info; loose-bean detail macro; brewed-cup hero; pour or bloom action; flat-lay with brewing equipment; subscription-box “what’s inside” frame; and a roaster portrait for the about page.

For tea brands the parallel set covers: tin or pouch front; loose-leaf detail macro; brewed-cup hero (showing colour); cold-steep or iced version; tasting flight flat lay; tasting cup with leaves; and the brewing-equipment context shot. See our food photography and beverage photography pages for adjacent specs.

Steam, pour, and bloom: capturing motion

Steam off a hot cup photographs best against a dark, slightly-back-lit background. We use a controlled black flag behind the cup and a small back-light to make the steam visible. For pours and blooms, we shoot bracketed sequences at 1/2000s and pick the frame with the cleanest shape; for video, we capture at 240fps for slow-motion Reels.

Stop motion works exceptionally well for coffee and tea — see our stop motion page for examples of bag-to-cup sequences and tea-bloom animations.

Subscription-box and seasonal imagery

Many specialty coffee and tea brands run subscription programs. Each new origin or season demands fresh hero imagery. We schedule subscription clients on a quarterly cadence — 3–5 new origins per quarter, batched into a single shoot day, with deliverables formatted for email, Shopify, and Instagram.

For Quebec brands shipping nationally, bilingual packaging photography is essential — see the bilingual workflow. For sustainability-focused roasters and tea brands, our eco-friendly studio page covers prop and surface choices.

Channel-specific deliverables

For Amazon, the bag mainline is on RGB 255-255-255 white with the bag filling 85% of the frame. For Etsy, the lifestyle hero on a soft surface (linen, kraft paper) outperforms the white-background frame. For Shopify, the 2048×2048 PDP master plus a 9:16 mobile hero block. For Pinterest, a 2:3 vertical with steam/pour action and space for an overlay.

Same shoot, different crops — the trick is composing the original capture wide enough that all crops work. We do this from the briefing stage so the editor isn’t reverse-engineering crops afterward.

Pricing and turnaround

A coffee or tea catalogue starter set for 10 SKUs — bag/tin hero, alt angle, detail macro, brew scene, lifestyle — runs around $1,400 CAD. Subscription cadence pricing is on the pricing page. Standard turnaround is 5 business days; rush available.

Working with creators and influencers

Specialty coffee and tea both have strong creator communities (baristas, sommeliers, food creators). We can run a session with your creator talent and capture brand-owned content alongside creator-style content from the same set — see influencer campaigns and UGC-style imagery.

FAQ for coffee and tea brands

Do you shoot the actual brewed beverage or use a stand-in? The actual product. We use heat-safe set-ups and shoot fast.

Can you do bag mockups when product isn’t ready? Yes, with a separate mockup line. We prefer the real product when possible.

How do I handle origin-specific imagery? A consistent visual treatment with origin-specific prop details (regional textiles, regional surfaces).

Do you shoot at the roastery? Yes for the roast-day video; studio for the catalogue.

Bilingual packaging shots? Yes.
