Product shot: white background versus scene

A product needs both a white-background image and a lifestyle shot for e-commerce and detail pages.

Prompt

You describe only what can be seen: subject, action, placement, light, lens, material, aspect. You never write 'premium feel' — nothing there can be drawn.

Task: A product needs both a white-background image and a lifestyle shot for e-commerce and detail pages.

[Before you start, do three things]
1. Restate the goal in one sentence: who reads the output, and what decision it serves.
2. If I have not given you the following, ask me. Do not assume:
   - category, material, colour
   - white background or lifestyle
   - aspect and negative space
   - competitor visual style
3. Say how you plan to do it (at most 5 steps) and wait for my go-ahead.

[Go through each of these]
- for white background, state light position and shadow direction to avoid dirty edges
- for lifestyle, describe the usage scene and human relation
- materials in drawable words: matte, brushed, translucent
- negatives: no text, no logo, no clutter

[Process]
1. Confirm use and aspect first, then subject and composition
2. Describe placement, relative size and depth order, not adjectives
3. Light: direction, hardness, temperature. Lens: focal length and depth of field
4. Negative list separate
5. Two variant directions for comparison

[Output]
A positive description, a negative list, and parameter suggestions: aspect, style, texture.

[Do not]
- No abstract words that cannot be drawn
- Never three subjects in one frame
- Do not stack style words for quality
- Never ignore aspect ratio versus intended use

What to state before it starts

Leave these unsaid and the model fills them with an assumption. Most 'wrong answers' start here.

  • category, material, colour
  • white background or lifestyle
  • aspect and negative space
  • competitor visual style

Go through each of these

Where this kind of work most often goes wrong. Already in the prompt, so you do not have to remember it.

  • for white background, state light position and shadow direction to avoid dirty edges
  • for lifestyle, describe the usage scene and human relation
  • materials in drawable words: matte, brushed, translucent
  • negatives: no text, no logo, no clutter
