Imagery

Our imagery tells a unified visual story that connects natural origins with innovation and global impact, reflecting quality, naturalness, sustainability and diversity. Through an authentic, human-centred perspective, we show real people, products, and processes in a modern and inspiring way.

Introduction

Every image is clear, purposeful, and aligned with the narrative it supports, enriched with visible textures and vibrant details to create a cohesive visual language and a lively, engaging brand experience.

Our concept

Our imagery works across different perspectives, guiding the viewer from the broadest context to the finest details.

Style

Stylistically, our imagery maintains a neutral temperature and uses a natural colour palette that reflects the environment and setting. The following guiding parameters help us create and select images with a visual look and feel that is authentic and natural, while remaining lively and energetic.



Please note: As each image requires individual adjustment depending on its raw state, these principles can be applied flexibly, using whichever tools and methods are most suitable.

Temperature

We keep a neutral colour temperature—neither too warm nor too cool—to keep imagery grounded and authentic, ensuring an original appearance in every context.

Brightness


We use gentle brightening to add clarity and freshness, balancing highlights and shadows to create depth and realism.

Saturation

We apply a slight increase in color saturation to add subtle vibrancy and energy. This keeps visuals lively yet natural, and never artificial.

Contrast

We use strong contrast to enhance visual impact and expressiveness, making important elements stand out and adding a dynamic feel to the imagery.

Color

Our imagery is grounded in natural, neutral tones that reflect authentic environments, enhanced with vibrant accents to bring energy, focus, and visual dynamism. These accents highlight key details—such as ingredients, textures, clothing, or accessories—while maintaining authenticity and warmth.

Our corporate colour palette serves as a reference for our imagery, ensuring consistency and harmony across every visual. All palette colors listed as background options in the color guidelines may be used for product photography backgrounds, including Dark Red.

Our AGRANA Red, however, serves only as an accent color across all applications and should be avoided as a background.

Content

Our visual narrative is built on four interconnected pillars: Raw Materials, Products & Services, People, and Environments.

Together, these pillars allow us to tell a holistic story. We capture the path from raw materials in their natural origins, through products and services shaped by expertise, to the people at the heart of our work and the diverse environments that surround and inspire us.

This approach ensures our imagery conveys authenticity, expertise, and global impact.

Raw materials

Raw materials imagery showcases naturalness, sustainability, craftsmanship, and the clean, precise processes that define our production.

It focuses on two key stages:

Natural stage

The raw materials appear in their purest form, with vivid visuals of land, crops, orchards and natural environments that inspire sustainability and authenticity.

Processing stage

In this stage the focus shifts to the early transformation—capturing the handling and initial refinement that mark the seamless transition from nature to industry, reinforcing transparency, cleanliness and quality assurance.

How to

Use dynamic angles to emphasise scale, texture, and the subject’s connection to its environment.

Create a sense of action and movement in the processing stage to emphasise the dynamic nature of production.

Create clear, uncluttered compositions with a distinct point of interest and balanced framing to achieve a modern look.

Include subtle human elements, such as hands or hints of people, to add warmth and authenticity.

Products and services

Products and services imagery showcases the visual appeal and versatility of AGRANA’s offerings, from prepared, ready-to-consume products to the premium components and ingredients behind them.

Prepared goods

Products are shown in their final context—either in use or ready to use—emphasizing flavor, sensory impact, and the appeal of elements in a direct-to-consumer product.


Component goods

It highlights premium ingredients and intermediate products made from raw materials, focusing on their texture and consistency, and their qualities for diverse commercial and industrial applications.

How to

Capture products from clear perspectives (e.g. straight-on, top-down) to highlight key features without distraction from complex angles.

Capture implied motion— products or ingredients being poured, stirred, or sliced—to create dynamism and realism.

Frame products with clear negative space to create focus and visual clarity.

Products can be featured against solid colour backgrounds to create clean, graphic contrasts that highlight form and texture.

People

People imagery captures the human side of our story—those who enjoy our products and those who make them possible. It brings emotional connection, authenticity, and trust to the brand narrative.

End-consumers

People in real-life moments of enjoyment, highlighting the emotional appeal and everyday contexts where the products become part of people’s lives.

Professionals

People behind the scenes—from farmers and production teams to researchers and office staff—showcasing their expertise, care, and responsibility at every stage of the value chain.

How to

Capture people at eye level to create a relatable, human-centred perspective.

Use natural depth of field to highlight the subject while softly blending the background, creating presence and authenticity.

Capture close, personal moments that reflect genuine emotion and authenticity. Images feel more authentic when people don’t look directly at the camera, but they may do so if the expression feels genuine.

Represent diverse people and environments, reflecting our connection to many communities and contexts.

Environments

Environment imagery places our brand within its broader physical and societal context, showing both the world it impacts and the spaces where innovation happens.

World and lifestyle

Images capture rural and urban settings where people live and work. When fields are shown, they must feature crops used in AGRANA’s products. Imagery connects people, places, and the planet through the role our products play.

Facilities

Imagery highlights our production and innovation spaces—factories, labs, offices, and logistics—showcasing modernity, scale, safety and cleanliness. Authentic AGRANA sites should be featured wherever possible.

How to

Use aerial or elevated viewpoints to reveal scale, patterns, and context in fields, facilities, or lifestyle settings.

Emphasise architectural or natural geometry—lines, grids, frames, or pathways—to create visual order and modernity.

Capture human or mechanical movement—people in action or machines operating—to evoke purpose, precision, and energy.

Prioritise order and focus. Frame shots to reduce clutter while retaining essential context.

AI-generated images

When using AI-generated imagery, always follow ethical, legal, and responsible standards. Images must appear natural and should not be recognisably created by AI. Ensure all visuals support AGRANA’s values and avoid misleading or inappropriate content.

Don'ts

Imagery is a crucial part of our brand identity, and we must ensure it is used consistently and in line with our guidelines. The following examples outline what to avoid to help maintain the integrity and impact of our visual communication, always reflecting our values and style.

We avoid unbalanced color temperatures

Keep a neutral temperature and avoid images that are overly warm, cool, or heavily saturated—natural tones support our visual identity.

We avoid extreme lighting or contrast

Steer clear of visuals that are too dark, too bright, or unnaturally high in contrast to maintain an authentic look.

We don’t use off-brand colors prominently

Avoid using colors outside our approved palette, as unexpected hues can distract from our brand.

We avoid exaggerated expressions or poses


Choose images with genuine facial expressions and natural body language, never forced or staged.

We don’t use irrelevant imagery

Select visuals that support the intended message and context, and leave out unrelated content.

We don’t break our AI imagery guidelines


Ensure every image aligns with our established AI guidelines and principles.
