Exact prompt used
Transform the surroundings of this real footwear photograph into an art-directed fashion campaign still life. Preserve every shoe visible in the reference: the exact number, black or white color of each shoe, recognizable silhouette, height, toe and sole shape, closures, seams and material character. Keep their original arrangement, overlap, relative scale and viewing angle. Do not turn worn shoes into new shoes; retain visible wear and creases. Replace the existing floor and background with a warm terracotta-orange matte display surface and a pale apricot seamless backdrop. Use one broad, low geometric platform under the group, with a strong diagonal shadow across the empty background and directional studio light that keeps the shoe surfaces readable. Make a refined editorial composition with generous margins around all shoes and a restrained coral, apricot, black and white palette. Match surface perspective and contact shadows to the existing footwear. 4:3 horizontal image, complete products, no cropped toes, heels or high tops. Do not add laces to strap shoes or remove existing closures. No people, feet, extra shoes, decorative props, headline, price, added logos or watermark.

Create an editorial interior photograph using the exact chair shown in the reference image as the only chair. Keep its original viewing angle, complete visible structure, proportions, all legs and rails, seat and back geometry, armrests if present, surface finish and original colors. Do not redesign it or add upholstery. Build a calm, sunlit contemporary reading corner around it: muted sage-green plaster wall, pale warm stone floor, soft linen curtain at the far left, one small low terracotta pot with an olive branch far behind the chair on the right. No other furniture or objects in front of the chair. The chair is the hero, centered slightly left, fully visible with generous margins, occupying about two thirds of the image height. Match the room perspective and natural window light to the reference chair, with realistic contact shadows at its feet. Preserve openings between the legs and frame. Refined interior editorial styling, warm morning light, subtle wall texture, restrained palette, 4:3 horizontal composition. No people, text, price tags, logos, duplicate chairs or watermark. Do not change the color of the chair to match the room.

Edit this real product photograph into a wide 16:9 studio campaign image. Keep exactly one instance of the same product. Preserve the recognizable brand name, product name, prominent label artwork and their layout, the complete silhouette, closure, proportions, color and material. Keep the original viewing angle; do not redesign or beautify the product. Place the entire product in the right third of the frame, with clear margins above the cap, below the base and at the right edge. Use a light warm-gray seamless studio backdrop and surface with a soft natural contact shadow. Leave the left 45 percent of the frame as quiet, uninterrupted background for text that will be added later. Match the background lighting to the existing product. Do not add any headline, price, caption, graphic, prop, extra product or watermark. Do not translate, correct or invent the label text. Keep the product sharp and fully visible; do not crop or stretch it.

Exact prompt used
Replace only the area outside the photographed product with a clean, light warm-gray studio background and surface. Treat the bottle as a locked photographic foreground: retain its original pixels and all existing defects, highlights, tiny marks, glass textures, label artwork and lettering. Do not regenerate, retouch, relight, simplify or reconstruct any part of the bottle. Keep its exact cap, spouts, outline, base, material, colors and camera angle. Keep every visible label character, logo and symbol unchanged. Use a portrait 3:4 canvas. Keep the whole bottle, with similar scale and position to the reference; extend only the background if needed. Add only a soft contact shadow beneath the product, outside its silhouette. No props, captions, new text, extra products or new reflections on the bottle.

02

Choose the practice for the job

A visual practice should teach a decision, not repeat the same source image. Compare a bottle, a shoe group and a chair scene, then choose the checks that fit the job.

Generated Evian bottle on a warm-gray studio surface

Bottle background

Give a complete bottle a quieter studio setting.

Read the guide

Start with the complete bottle and compare the cap, silhouette, material and prominent label after the background changes. Evian and Dove are different packages, so the same brief is a useful small cross-product check.

Keep exact codes and small legal text tied to the original. A clean background can be a good marketing composition while still rebuilding reflections and lettering.

  • Compare brand, product variant and material with the source.
  • Preview the final crop at the destination size.
  • Retain exact information areas when the use depends on them.
Generated high-top pair on a terracotta editorial platform

Footwear campaign

Turn a shoe group into an editorial campaign image.

Read the guide

Use a group-specific brief that names count, closure type, color assignment and wear before describing the set. The high-top pair and strap-shoe group use different source materials and test whether the composition stays readable.

Inspect every toe, heel, sole and overlap. The warm platform is an editorial choice; it does not prove new condition or manufacturing detail.

  • Count every shoe and compare closures, soles and arrangement.
  • Check black/white assignment, wear and contact shadows.
  • Use the result for campaign mood, not condition certification.
Generated Library Chair in a sage-green reading corner

Furniture room scene

Place one chair in a styled room without losing its structure.

Read the guide

Describe the chair structure before the room: legs, rails, seat, back, armrests and original colors. The two chairs have visibly different designs, which makes the independent check meaningful.

Inspect feet, open gaps and floor shadows at full size. Keep dimensions, finish specifications and technical claims with the source photograph.

  • Trace every leg, rail and opening back to the source.
  • Check color, finish and floor contact.
  • Pair styled scenes with an original view for exact product information.

Prepare your inputs

Move from a clean bottle background to footwear campaign scenes and styled furniture rooms, using different real materials for each practice.

  • Choose a complete real product photo for the brief: bottle, shoe group or furniture.
  • Write the intended placement and the details that must remain exact.

03

Try the tested method

Each card uses a different material and a different visual decision. Start with the finished scene, then inspect the source and the checks.

  1. Change the background, then check the product

    Follow the two-product test, copy the exact prompt and review four practical checks before using the image.

04

Before this image goes live

Check each item for your own image. This list is a temporary working aid; it does not save your answers or certify the result.

Know the limits

  • These eight samples cover three distinct briefs, not a universal success rate.
  • Generated highlights, perspective, texture and small text can change. Exact information needs the original or a separate composite.
