Prompt template
Core description (use everywhere)
[product] lies on sandy beige textures; seashells and small coral fragments arranged around it in a light, balanced composition. A warm sunlight beam highlights the product; shadows soft. Background fades smoothly from soft ocean blue at the top to pale aqua near the horizon, clean and minimal summer mood.
Camera and lens
50–85mm equivalent; f/3.2–f/4 shallow depth; focus pinned on product edges and label; slight lower‑than‑subject angle for presence.
Lighting
Warm key beam from top‑right; soft sky‑blue fill from backdrop; control speculars on white tube; keep highlight detail on orange cap; gentle bounce card on label.
Composition
Rule‑of‑thirds placement; shells and coral as understated accents; negative space for copy; horizon blur to keep the scene minimal.
Output controls
– Aspect ratio: [ar]
– Detail: realistic sand grain; crisp label edges; natural tube matte texture
– Color: warm sunlight vs. cool ocean‑blue background
– Post: mild bloom, minimal grain, smooth gradient (no banding)
Negatives
text overlay, watermark, warped label, duplicate product, plastic CGI sand, heavy motion blur, overexposed whites, harsh shadows, human hands

How to use
-
Start free with Nano Banana or ChatGPT; paste the matching block with your variables.
-
If whites blow out, add “reduce key by 10%; retain highlight detail on tube and cap.”
-
If the gradient bands, add “high‑bit smooth gradient; no banding; gentle vignette edges.”
-
If shells distract, add “fewer shells; keep accents small; product dominates.”
FAQ
-
Tube looks glossy, not matte—how to fix?
Add “matte finish on tube; soft speculars only; micro‑texture visible.” -
Cap color shifts—what to do?
Add “true orange cap, sRGB; avoid color cast from sky fill.” -
Sand looks messy?
Say “fine, clean beach sand; even surface under product; remove debris.”
