My good friend had me do a photo shoot of a product that she sells online. The theme was Tropical Gift Box that came with a platter of munchies and a beautiful bouquet of tropical flowers which I will be shooting over the next week.
Here are some shots:

Canon EOS M100 • EF-M28mm f/3.5 MACRO IS STM • ƒ/3.5 28.0 mm 1/60 1000 Flash (off, did not fire)

Canon EOS M100 • Canon EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM • ƒ/3.5 28.0 mm 1/50 1600 Flash (off, did not fire)

The first photo definitely needs improvement. Try with some tropical background. I would recommend to prind some images with tropical environment or, try on TV. Example put your plate in front on TV while the background is paused on sme Tropical scene.

Don't forget that on the table must be same as TV theme or photo print. Is its good match.

Also on the last photo, I would suggest to have those umbrellas on top of the logo, makes a bit more creative in my view. You also might want to play with yellow colour too, as it's tropical theme.

You want the company logo to be highlighted and in focus. A customer doesn't need to know about umbrellas, but to remember the company logo. Is not about the angle, is about how you arrange everything on the table.

This was their arrangement as much as possible straight out of the box ... so the client made the arrangement I simply plucked it out of the box it came in and placed in where I shoot my @home photos.
