Best Practices for Product Photography

Lighting Guidelines

• Soft box lighting - Even illumination for e-commerce shots
• Rim lighting - Creates separation from background
• Natural window light - Warm, authentic lifestyle feel
• Dramatic side lighting - Adds depth and premium look
• Diffused overhead - Minimizes harsh shadows

Composition Tips

• Center important products for e-commerce
• Use rule of thirds for lifestyle shots
• Leave negative space for text overlay
• Consider the platform aspect ratio requirements
• Include context elements that tell a story

Background Selection

• Pure white (#FFFFFF) for marketplace requirements
• Gradient backgrounds for premium products
• Contextual environments for lifestyle appeal
• Complementary colors that enhance product
• Textured surfaces for artisanal products

Prompt Tips

Effective prompts for product photography include:

Lighting descriptors:

• "soft box lighting", "natural window light", "dramatic side lighting"
• "rim light", "backlit", "diffused overhead lighting"
• "golden hour warmth", "cool studio lighting"

Angle specifications:

• "eye-level shot", "45-degree angle", "overhead flat lay"
• "low angle hero shot", "three-quarter view", "straight-on"

Background details:

• "pure white background", "gradient gray backdrop"
• "marble surface", "wooden table", "concrete texture"

Style references:

• "e-commerce style", "editorial quality", "magazine advertisement"
• "catalog photography", "Instagram aesthetic", "premium brand look"

Props and context:

• "minimalist props", "lifestyle elements", "seasonal decorations"
• "complementary accessories", "natural elements"

Mode Selection

Mode	Best For	Output Quality
max	Hero shots, marketing materials, premium products	Highest quality, detailed rendering
eco	Quick iterations, bulk catalog photos, testing concepts	Fast generation, good quality

Use max mode for final marketing assets and hero images. Use eco mode for rapid prototyping and generating multiple variations quickly.
