# AI Product Photography: Setups & Mockups

You do not need a studio, a lightbox or a product to get a clean product shot any more. This guide holds one product (a frosted-glass perfume bottle) across 16 setups, surfaces and lighting styles, so you can see exactly what each one does. Copy a prompt, swap in your own product, and you have an e-commerce hero, a lifestyle shot or a luxury ad. Everything is model-agnostic: the same setup words work on Midjourney, GPT Image, Flux and Nano Banana.

Works in: Midjourney, GPT Image, Flux, Nano Banana, Stable Diffusion.

## How to use this skill

When the user asks for an image prompt in this style, compose one using the formulas and vocabulary below. Fill each slot with a concrete choice, then return the finished prompt. Prefer naming a real camera/lens, a light, and a colour or film treatment, which is what makes the output read as a real photograph rather than an AI render.

## Formulas

**The product formula**
```
[product], product photography, on [surface], [background], [lighting], [mood], sharp focus
```
Add 'e-commerce' for clean catalogue shots, 'luxury advertisement' for dramatic ones, or a real setting for lifestyle. 'Sharp focus' and a named surface are what separate it from a flat render.

## Worked prompt examples

_Clean e-commerce hero_
```
A minimalist frosted-glass perfume bottle, product photography, on a pure white seamless studio background, soft even lighting, sharp focus, clean e-commerce catalogue shot
```

_Marble & daylight_
```
A minimalist frosted-glass perfume bottle, product photography, on a white marble surface, soft daylight, elegant, minimalist
```

_Neon luxury_
```
A minimalist frosted-glass perfume bottle, product photography, lit by coloured neon, dark moody reflective background, luxury
```

_Natural lifestyle_
```
A minimalist frosted-glass perfume bottle, product photography, on a mossy rock in a forest, natural dappled light, organic
```
