Steps

  1. Shoot it right once

    Ask a chat assistant for a short shot checklist for your product, then follow it: daylight from the side, a plain surface, the phone held steady, the whole product in frame with space around it. A good source photo saves most of the editing.

    Weak

    One quick photo on the kitchen table in the evening, under a ceiling lamp.

    Better

    Daylight from the side, white card behind the product, phone at the product's height, three shots and keep the sharpest.

  2. Remove the background and fix the light

    Cut the product out onto a plain background and correct the light. This is your main image, and it must look exactly like what the buyer will receive.

  3. Make one lifestyle scene, and keep the product unchanged

    Place the cut-out product into a simple scene that shows how it is used. Compare it with the original photo: colour, size, material and text must not change. If a generated scene could mislead, write 'Scene created with AI' next to it. No AI children or animals in the scene.

    Weak

    Put my bag in a luxury setting with a model.

    Better

    Place this exact bag on a wooden bench by a window, morning light. Keep its colour, size, stitching and logo exactly as in the photo. No people.

  4. Add a close-up and, if you need it, an on-person view

    A detail shot of the material or the clasp answers questions a wide shot cannot. Show the product on a person only with your own photo, a person who gave consent, or an AI model that is clearly labelled as AI.

  5. Do the whole catalogue with a list

    Keep a simple list: product, source photo, which images are done, which are labelled. Then upload in one go and check every product page on a phone.

The full instruction

Copy it into any AI chat assistant and change only the first line.

Change only this line: PRODUCT = [a brown leather laptop bag, 40 cm wide]

You help me plan product photos for my online store from one phone shot of my PRODUCT.

If you need the exact colour, material and size, who buys it and how they use it, or my space and light, ask me first, one question at a time.
Images I need: plain background, one lifestyle scene, one close-up.

Do four things:
1. Write a shot checklist of at most 8 lines for taking the source photo of my PRODUCT with a phone.
2. Write one prompt for an AI image generator that places this exact product in a simple scene. The prompt must say that colour, size, material and any text stay exactly as in the photo, with no people, children or animals.
3. List what to compare between the original photo and every generated image before I publish it.
4. Write one short note for the product page that says which image is a scene created with AI.

Start with the shot checklist.

What you end up with

A set of five product images from one photo, each checked against the real product, with AI scenes labelled where they could mislead.

Common mistakes

  • Letting the generated scene change the product's colour, size or material.
  • Showing the product on a real person without their consent, or on an AI model without saying so.
  • Editing a weak source photo for an hour instead of retaking it in better light.

Processes that need more than one tool

Thomas, a Kailiniai hero

Each process below uses several tools, each for the job it does best. Any AI chat assistant works where one is named.

  1. Shoot it right

    Tools, in order: any AI chat assistant → your phone camera

    1. Ask the chat assistant for a shot checklist for your product.
    2. Take three shots by the window following the checklist and keep the sharpest.

    The prompt for this process

    You help me take one good phone photo of a product for my online store.

Product: [what it is, colour, material, size, shiny or matt]
My light and space: [e.g. a north-facing window, a white table]
Images I will make from it later: plain background, a lifestyle scene, a close-up

Write a shot checklist of at most 8 lines: light direction, background, phone height, distance, space around the product, how many shots to take. Add 2 signs that a shot should be retaken.

Start with the first line of the checklist.

  2. Remove the background and fix the light

    Tools, in order: Fotor → Shopify

    1. Remove the background and correct the light in Fotor.
    2. Upload it as the main product image in Shopify and check it on a phone.

    The prompt for this process

    I removed the background from my product photo in Fotor and fixed the light, and I am about to upload it to my Shopify product page.

Product: [what it is, real colour, material]
What I changed in the photo: [background, light, sharpness]
What the product page says: [paste the description]

List anything in my notes that could make the image look different from the product a buyer will receive. Then write an image alt text of at most 15 words that describes the product plainly.

Start with the list.

  3. Make a lifestyle scene

    Tools, in order: Higgsfield → Fotor

    1. Place the cut-out product in a simple scene in Higgsfield, with no people, children or animals.
    2. Check the sharpness in Fotor and compare colour, size and material with the original photo.

    The prompt for this process

    Write an image prompt for Higgsfield that places my cut-out product in a simple scene.

Product: [what it is, exact colour, material, size, any text or logo]
How buyers use it: [e.g. on a desk at home]
Look of my store: [e.g. light wood, white walls, soft daylight]

The prompt must say that the product keeps its exact colour, size, material and text. No people, no children, no animals. At most 40 words. Then give me 4 points to compare between the scene and my original photo, and one short note for the product page saying the scene was created with AI.

Start with the image prompt.

  4. Make a close-up or on-person variant

    Tools, in order: YouCam → Fotor

    1. Make the detail or on-person view in YouCam, using your own photo, a person who consented, or a model labelled as AI.
    2. Correct only light and sharpness in Fotor.

    The prompt for this process

    I want a close-up or an on-person image of my product, made in YouCam and cleaned up in Fotor.

Product: [what it is, the detail buyers ask about, e.g. the clasp or the fabric]
Person in the image: [me / a person who gave written consent / an AI model]
Question buyers ask that the image should answer: [e.g. how long is it when worn]

Write the instruction for the image in at most 30 words. If the person is an AI model, write the label for the product page. List 3 things to check so the product still looks exactly as it is.

Start with the instruction.

  5. Do the whole catalogue

    Tools, in order: a spreadsheet → Shopify

    1. Keep a photo list: product, source photo, images done, AI label needed.
    2. Upload the finished images to Shopify in one go and check each product page.

    The prompt for this process

    You help me plan product photos for my whole Shopify catalogue in one spreadsheet.

Products: [paste the list of product names]
Images I want per product: [e.g. plain background, scene, close-up]

Make a table with these columns: product, source photo done, plain background done, scene done, close-up done, AI label needed (yes or no), checked against product (yes or no), uploaded. Fill in the product names and leave the rest empty. Then write 3 rules for when an image needs an AI label.

Start with the table.
