What this format creates
A practical brief for AI product photography generator
AI product photography creative should turn a clean product image into campaign-ready product photography. Begin with high-resolution packshot, then decide how hero angle and controlled reflections will carry the message. Treat changing packaging details as a production constraint, not a problem to discover after generation.
Controlled reflections direction
material and finish notes is the accuracy checkpoint for controlled reflections. Use both to turn a clean product image into campaign-ready product photography.
Contact shadows direction
background or set direction is the accuracy checkpoint for contact shadows. Use both to turn a clean product image into campaign-ready product photography.
Consistent lighting direction
high-resolution packshot is the accuracy checkpoint for consistent lighting. Use both to turn a clean product image into campaign-ready product photography.

Format-specific workflow
01
Audit high-resolution packshot
Confirm that high-resolution packshot is accurate and usable before choosing a reference; it anchors hero angle.
02
Direct hero angle
Describe how hero angle should interact with material and finish notes and the intended 1:1 marketplace crop placement.
03
Check controlled reflections
Review the brief for changing packaging details and floating products without shadows; add a constraint for each risk that applies.
04
Prepare the 1:1 marketplace crop version
Carry the selected reference and prompt into the matching template, then verify the generated composition against background or set direction.

Creative playbook
Practices to put in the brief
Hero angle
Judge hero angle at the intended 1:1 marketplace crop crop and compare every generated detail with high-resolution packshot.
Controlled reflections
Judge controlled reflections at the intended 4:5 social crop crop and compare every generated detail with material and finish notes.
Contact shadows
Judge contact shadows at the intended high-detail landscape storefront crop crop and compare every generated detail with background or set direction.
Consistent lighting
Judge consistent lighting at the intended 1:1 marketplace crop crop and compare every generated detail with high-resolution packshot.
Claim and evidence review
Before generation, mark which statements are supported by high-resolution packshot and material and finish notes; delete or qualify everything else.
Common mistakes
Problems to catch before generation
Changing packaging details
Fix changing packaging details by checking high-resolution packshot against hero angle in the selected reference.
Floating products without shadows
Fix floating products without shadows by checking material and finish notes against controlled reflections in the selected reference.
Mixing incompatible light directions
Fix mixing incompatible light directions by checking background or set direction against contact shadows in the selected reference.
Treating the reference as a copy target
Fix treating the reference as a copy target by checking high-resolution packshot against consistent lighting in the selected reference.
