Product Photography on a Model
For wearable products, the customer's real question is 'how does this look on me.' This prompt answers that with the feel of a professional fashion shoot.
Photograph this: a model wearing [WEARABLE PRODUCT, e.g. linen blouse / knit cardigan], shown in a natural stance from a slight side angle. The model stands relaxed and confident in [SETTING, e.g. plain studio background / minimalist outdoor space]. Lighting: soft diffused studio light, three-point setup, balanced exposure across face and fabric. Camera: 85mm portrait lens, medium shot from the chest up, shallow depth of field to keep the product in focus. Color grade: clean, natural skin tones, editorial fashion-magazine palette. Material: the texture and surface detail of the [FABRIC TYPE] should read clearly, folds and all. Vertical format, 3:4.
How to use it
- Use it as the main gallery photo for wearable products on Etsy or your own site.
- Enter a different model pose or angle to build a full gallery set (front, side, back) for the same product.
- Turn a plain product photo straight into an editorial visual for a social ad.
Example / tip
A brand selling hand-knit cardigans enters the fabric type as 'chunky merino wool, cable knit texture.' The output shows the cardigan on a plain studio background, in a three-quarter pose that keeps the knit texture sharp and visible.
Usage example
Copy the prompt as is, fill in the bracketed fields for your own product, and paste it into Nano Banana Pro (Gemini) or GPT Image. If you have a real product photo, upload it as a reference so the output stays closer to the actual item. If the first result misses, ask for a one-line fix (e.g. 'soften the light,' 'simplify the background').
When not to use it
Don't force this if you have no real product image; the prompt is meant to show an existing product better, not invent one that doesn't exist. Never drop the output straight into a listing without checking it first. AI generation can still get the material, proportions, or text wrong. Always verify yourself that it matches your brand colors, logo, and the product's actual look.
Output quality checklist
- Does the product look realistic, or is a complex detail (text, proportion, a hand) deformed? If so, regenerate or ask for a fix.
- Does it match your brand palette and the product's real material and color, or does it look random?
- Is the aspect ratio right for where it's going (square for listings, vertical for social, 4:5 for ads)?
- If there's text in the image, is it legible and spelled correctly? AI images often mangle text, check it closely.
