I want lifestyle hero images for a stainless steel travel mug. That is all the information I have right now. What essential inputs must be gathered before constructing the scene prompts?

Creative — Scene Explorer

Show the product living in the real world — believable usage moments, not floating studio renders. The job is to make a viewer picture themselves using it. Realism and emotional plausibility beat technical perfection.

When to use

Lifestyle hero images, social content, editorial, "in-context" ecommerce shots.
Selling the experience or outcome, not just the object.
You need people, environment, or a moment of use around the product.

When NOT to use

Clean catalog/PDP angles on a plain background → creative-shot.
Pushing a discount/bundle → creative-offer.
No look locked and brand consistency matters → creative-explore first.

Inputs (ask only what's missing)

Product + how it's actually used (ergonomics matter for believability).
Target user who appears or is implied in the scene.
Locked visual direction if available.
Aspect/medium: web hero (wide), social (square/vertical), gallery.

Workflow

Define 3-5 usage moments: who + where + when + doing-what. Concrete beats generic ("barista, morning cafe, steaming milk" not "person using product").
Structure each scene prompt: backdrop → subject + product → light/lens → constraints. Favor photoreal-natural styling: candid, real texture, natural light, believable depth of field.
Generate with your image tool. Save to ./creative/scene/<moment>.png.
Verify believability + hero: is the product clearly the focus? Are hands/ergonomics plausible? Regenerate weak ones (bad hands, product too small, staged-feeling).
Present moments; recommend the strongest for the medium.

Worked example

Product: insulated water bottle. Audience: trail runners.

## Moment "Dawn Trail"
who: runner, late 20s, mid-stride   where: forest trail, first light
when: cool blue-hour → warming   doing: pausing to drink
prompt: "forest trail at dawn -> runner pausing, bottle to lips, breath visible
-> 50mm, shallow DOF, soft directional light -> candid, real sweat/texture,
bottle clearly visible and in focus"
[ref: ./creative/scene/dawn-trail.png]

## Moment "Desk Companion"
who: implied (hand only)   where: tidy work desk   when: midday
