Product Photography Tips
Source Image Quality
| Good | Bad |
|---|---|
| High resolution | Low resolution |
| Even lighting | Harsh shadows |
| Clear focus | Blurry |
| Neutral background | Busy background |
| Multiple angles | Single angle |
Prompt Best Practices
- Be specific about surface: "marble," "wood," "concrete"
- Describe lighting: "soft studio," "dramatic rim," "natural window"
- Include style: "commercial," "lifestyle," "editorial"
- Add quality keywords: "professional," "high-end," "premium"
Common Mistakes
ā Vague prompts: "product on nice background" ā Specific prompts: "product on white marble surface, soft diffused lighting from above, minimal style"
ā Ignoring shadows: Results look flat ā Include shadow details: "subtle soft shadow," "dramatic shadow"
ā Wrong aspect ratio for platform ā Match ratio to intended use (1:1 for Instagram, etc.)
