E-Commerce Product Flat Lay Studio

Generate a professional product flat lay photograph shot from directly overhead (90-degree bird's-eye view) on a [SURFACE — e.g., white marble, weathered wood, linen fabric, matte concrete] background.

Hero Product

• Product: [DESCRIBE — e.g., amber glass skincare bottle with matte black dropper cap, 30ml]
• Label/branding: [BRAND NAME, typography style, label color]
• Position: Centered or rule-of-thirds placement, slightly angled to show label and form
• Shadow: Soft, diffused shadow directly beneath — not harsh, not absent

Supporting Props (3-6 items arranged around the hero)

Choose props that tell the product's story without competing for attention:

• Ingredient props: [e.g., fresh rosemary sprigs, sliced lemon, raw honey in a small dish]
• Texture props: [e.g., folded linen napkin, natural sponge, wooden spoon]
• Lifestyle props: [e.g., reading glasses, ceramic mug, open notebook]
• Seasonal accents: [e.g., dried flowers for spring, cinnamon sticks for winter, eucalyptus for spa]

Styling Rules

• Negative space: Leave 30-40% of the frame empty. Breathing room sells.
• Color harmony: Props should complement the product, not match it exactly. Use analogous or muted tones.
• Layering: Overlap 1-2 props slightly to create depth. Not everything perfectly spaced.
• Scale variation: Mix small items (seeds, petals) with medium items (dish, fabric) for visual rhythm.
• No clutter: If removing an item doesn't hurt the composition, remove it.

Lighting

• Soft, even, overhead natural light — like a north-facing window at 10am
• No harsh directional shadows
• Subtle highlight on glass/metallic surfaces
• White bounce fill to open up any dark spots

Photography Specs

• Aspect ratio: Square (1:1) for Instagram/Shopify or 4:5 for feed
• Resolution feel: 8K, tack-sharp product with slight softness on peripheral props
• Color grading: Clean, true-to-life color. Slight warmth (+5%) for organic/natural products, slight cool (-5%) for tech/clinical products
• Post-processing: No heavy filters. The look should say "real product, real quality."

Variations

Generate in one of these commercial styles:

1. Clean Minimal: White/light surface, 2-3 props max, maximum negative space. For premium/luxury positioning.
2. Lifestyle Story: Textured surface, 5-6 props, tells a "moment" (morning routine, cooking scene, desk setup). For social media and blogs.
3. Seasonal Collection: Multiple products from the same line arranged together with seasonal props. For holiday campaigns, new launches, gift guides.
4. Ingredient Spotlight: Hero product surrounded by its raw ingredients, deconstructed and artfully scattered. For skincare, food, fragrance brands.
