.Prompt overview
-
Produces a beach‑inspired still life: frosted pump bottle on driftwood, shells and sand arranged around it, turquoise splash accents, and a teal→aqua gradient with sun‑ray shimmer.
-
Adds lens and lighting guidance for soft coastal glow without blowing out highlights.
-
Includes optimized blocks for Nano Banana, ChatGPT Images, and Midjourney, plus negatives to avoid plastic‑looking water or warped labels.

Prompt template
Core description (use everywhere)
[product] set on a natural piece of driftwood; seashells and soft sand arranged around the base; turquoise water splashes arc lightly nearby without obscuring the label. Background is a smooth gradient from deep teal at the edges to light aqua in the center, with subtle sun‑ray shimmer as if underwater sunlight. Clean, refreshing spa mood.
Camera and lens
50–85mm equivalent; f/2.8–f/4 shallow depth; focus pinned on product edges and label; slight lower‑than‑subject angle for presence; tripod‑steady.
Lighting
Soft coastal key from front‑left; cool aqua fill from backdrop; controlled speculars on frosted glass; gentle top rays; keep highlight detail on the pump and bottle.
Composition
Product centered slightly off rule‑of‑thirds; driftwood diagonals for flow; shells as minimal accents; splash action to one side; negative space for copy.
Output controls
– Aspect ratio: [ar]
– Detail: realistic frosted glass texture; clean label; natural splash refraction
– Color: teal→aqua gradient; warm neutral driftwood; white shells
– Post: mild bloom, minimal grain, no color banding
Negatives
text overlay, watermark, warped label, duplicate product, plastic CGI water, heavy motion blur, excessive droplets on label, floating product, human hands
Model‑specific blocks
– Nano Banana (Google Gemini)
“[product] on driftwood; seashells and soft sand around the base; turquoise water splashes near the bottle. Background: deep‑teal to light‑aqua gradient with sun‑ray shimmer; clean spa mood. 50–85mm, f/2.8–f/4 shallow depth; highlight control on frosted glass; label sharp. Aspect ratio [ar]. No text, no watermark, no warped labels, no plastic CGI water, no heavy blur.”
– ChatGPT Images (free)
“[product] placed on driftwood with shells and fine sand; turquoise splash accents that do not cover the label. Teal‑to‑aqua gradient backdrop with soft sun‑ray shimmer. 50–85mm, f/3.2 shallow depth; soft coastal key, cool aqua fill; preserve highlight detail on glass and pump. Aspect ratio [ar]. No text, no watermark, no duplicate subject, no warped label, no fake water.”
– Midjourney v6
[product], [framing], on driftwood with shells and soft sand, turquoise water splash accents, teal to aqua gradient background with sun‑ray shimmer, spa‑clean mood, 50–85mm, f/3.2, shallow depth, crisp label, controlled speculars on frosted glass, ultra detail, no text, no watermark, no plastic CGI water, no warped labels —ar [ar] —v 6 [seed]

How to use
-
Start free with Nano Banana or ChatGPT; paste the matching block with your variables.
-
If the label glares, add “use flag to block speculars on label; keep edges crisp.”
-
If the gradient bands, add “high‑bit smooth gradient; no banding; soft vignette at edges.”
-
If splashes look fake, add “natural refraction and soft droplets; reduce droplet count; keep action to the right.”
FAQ
-
Bottle looks too dark—what to change?
Increase fill from backdrop and add “soft white card bounce on bottle front.” -
Sand looks messy—how to clean it?
Say “fine, clean sand; keep debris minimal; smooth surface under product.” -
Want stronger sun‑rays?
Add “brighter top rays with gentle bloom; maintain label contrast.”
