How to Get the Best Results from These Prompts

Use these notes to keep outputs realistic, marketplace-ready, and easier to reuse across your product catalog.

Prompt Writing Tips

  • Be specific about background color, surface material, prop style, and image ratio.
  • Mention lighting direction so the result does not default to flat or random studio light.
  • Specify camera angle precisely: top-down, 45-degree overhead, eye-level, macro, or low-angle hero.
  • Include output needs such as square 1:1, vertical 4:5, marketplace-compliant, or ad-ready crop.
  • Add negative prompts to avoid text overlays, distorted logos, extra products, clutter, and unwanted shadows.

Platform-Specific Notes

  • Midjourney: use --ar 1:1 or --ar 4:5 for marketplace ratios and keep product nouns near the start of the prompt.
  • Flux: strong for material detail, textiles, glass, metal, skin texture, and product realism.
  • DALL-E 3: keep instructions literal and descriptive; avoid overly poetic styling language.
  • Stable Diffusion: use negative prompts such as no extra fingers, no warped product, no text overlay, no watermark.
  • All platforms: generate 3-5 variations per prompt before choosing the final image.

Style-Specific Notes

  • Specify top-down camera angle and surface material before describing props.
  • Mention arrangement logic: grid, diagonal flow, circular composition, or product-centered layout.
  • Keep props secondary and make the hero product occupy the strongest visual position.
  • Use clean negative space when the image will become an ad or social post.
  • Ask for realistic shadows under every object so the flat lay does not look pasted together.

Before / After Example

A quick way to frame what the prompt should improve before you spend time refining details.

Before

Plain catalog photo with flat lighting, inconsistent shadows, and no clear campaign mood.

After

AI-generated flat lay product photography with polished light, clean composition, and product-first styling.

Before

A raw phone shot that needs props, background control, retouching, and repeated manual edits.

After

A ready-to-test flat lay product photography concept with controlled setting, realistic material detail, and reusable brand direction.

Before

One static product angle that is difficult to adapt for marketplaces, ads, and social formats.

After

Multiple flat lay product photography variations designed for ecommerce thumbnails, PDP modules, and performance creative.

How these were made

Product prompts fail in two predictable ways: the material flattens to plastic and loses its real texture, and the model quietly invents a real, recognizable brand or logo the prompt never asked for. Every prompt below names the material and the lighting, and instructs the model to invent a fictional brand instead of borrowing a real one.

Aspect ratio is real guidance. A single hero or a white-background listing sits square at 1:1; a lifestyle scene wants a vertical 4:5; a flat lay reads wide at 3:2. Each card lists the ratio we rendered it at.

Built and verified by us, 2026-08-10

All 15 prompts were rendered on nano-banana-2 on 2026-08-10. The image beside each prompt is our own render of that exact prompt text — not a stock photo, and not the model's marketing sample.

  • Every product shown is fictional. We instruct the model to invent a design rather than reproduce a real brand, so nothing here is anyone's copyrighted product.
  • The image beside each prompt was generated from that exact prompt text — re-rendered whenever the prompt changes, so the two never drift apart.
  • Each card lists the aspect ratio we rendered it at, so you can match it in your own tool.

Rendered on nano-banana-2. The prompt text works as-is on Gemini, Nano Banana, ChatGPT / GPT Image, Midjourney and Stable Diffusion.
