Shot patterns
10 Nano Banana product shot prompts you can adapt
Use these patterns as a shot list for one product family. Replace bracketed details, keep the rights boundary visible, and review outputs before publishing.
Shot 1
Centered marketplace packshot
For the clean main image in a store grid or product detail page.
Create a centered marketplace packshot for [owned or authorized product]. Preserve the product silhouette, label area, color, material, included parts, and real scale. Use a clean [white / warm gray] studio background, soft shadow under the product, front-facing three-quarter angle, and square crop. Avoid extra accessories, fake marketplace badges, copied brand styling, unsupported claims, and changes to product features.
It gives the model a narrow shot job and protects the product from being redesigned for aesthetics.
Adapt with
- - background color
- - front or three-quarter angle
- - shadow softness
- - square or 4:5 crop
Shot 2
Front label clarity shot
For packaging where label placement and product readability matter.
Use my authorized product reference to create a front label clarity shot for [product type]. Keep the label area, cap, bottle or box shape, material, color, and visible edges unchanged. Use even studio lighting, low distortion, clean white background, and enough margin around the product. Do not invent label text, ratings, certification seals, platform UI, or medical and performance claims.
It separates readable presentation from fake proof and avoids label hallucination.
Adapt with
- - box, bottle, pouch, jar, or tube
- - margin size
- - vertical or square crop
- - label text boundary
Shot 3
Three-quarter hero shot
For a landing page or campaign hero where the product needs depth and copy space.
Create a three-quarter hero product shot for [product name] using the authorized reference. Preserve product proportions, material, color, label position, and included parts. Place the product on [surface] with [lighting], subtle depth, and copy space on [left / right / top]. Keep the visual direction original. Avoid protected brand trade dress, fake awards, celebrity endorsement, review stars, and feature changes.
Hero shots need room for design, but the prompt keeps the SKU and commercial claims grounded.
Adapt with
- - copy-space side
- - surface
- - light direction
- - campaign palette
Shot 4
Macro material detail
For showing texture, finish, stitching, embossing, grain, cap detail, or edge quality.
Create a macro product detail shot for [owned or fictional product]. Focus on [material or detail]. Preserve the real product finish, color, construction, edge shape, and scale. Use soft side light, shallow depth, and a simple background. Do not add protected logos, luxury trade-dress cues, certification marks, altered materials, or performance claims not provided by the product owner.
Macro prompts are strongest when they name one detail and prevent the model from upgrading the product into something false.
Adapt with
- - material detail
- - macro crop
- - light direction
- - details to preserve
Shot 5
Top-down flat lay shot
For kits, accessories, stationery, apparel, food-safe props, or product collections.
Create a top-down flat lay product shot for [product or kit]. Arrange [exact item list] on a clean [surface]. Preserve item count, proportions, colors, labels, and included accessories from the authorized references. Use balanced spacing and soft overhead light. Avoid adding extra products, fake discount tags, marketplace badges, protected logos, or misleading bundle claims.
Flat lays often drift by adding extras, so the prompt fixes the item list and scale.
Adapt with
- - exact item list
- - surface
- - spacing
- - crop ratio
Shot 6
Scale cue product shot
For products where buyers need size context without misleading measurements.
Create a scale cue product shot for [product type]. Show the product next to [generic, non-branded scale reference] while preserving real product proportions, shape, color, and included parts. Use neutral studio lighting and simple background. Avoid fake measurement labels, official testing badges, exaggerated size, celebrity hands, third-party logos, or claims not verified separately.
It helps size understanding without turning the image into unverified measurement proof.
Adapt with
- - generic scale reference
- - hand-free or hand-held framing
- - background
- - measurement boundary
Shot 7
Variant lineup shot
For approved colorways, sizes, scents, flavors, or packaging variants.
Create a product variant lineup for [product family]. Show only these approved variants: [variant list]. Keep the same product shape, label placement, material, and scale across every variant. Use consistent studio light, even spacing, and [single row / grid] layout. Do not invent variants, alter ingredients, copy protected palettes, add fake popularity badges, or imply unavailable inventory.
Lineups need consistency and truth more than dramatic styling.
Adapt with
- - variant list
- - single row or grid
- - background
- - inventory boundary
Shot 8
Before and after background swap
For improving an owned product image while keeping the item unchanged.
Use my authorized product photo as the source. Keep the exact product shape, label area, color, material, accessories, and crop relationship. Replace the background with [new studio or lifestyle background], improve lighting naturally, and keep shadows realistic. Do not change product features, add third-party marks, create fake badges, or imply a result that is not in the reference.
It makes the allowed edit explicit: background and light may change, the product may not.
Adapt with
- - background type
- - lighting style
- - details to keep
- - what may change
Shot 9
Mobile social crop
For 4:5 or 9:16 ads where the product must stay readable on small screens.
Create a [4:5 / 9:16] mobile product shot for [product name]. Use the authorized product reference, keep product facts accurate, place the product with clear focal hierarchy, high contrast, and safe space for short copy. Use [background style] and [lighting]. Avoid platform UI, fake review stars, competitor logos, celebrity endorsement, deceptive scarcity, trademark imitation, and product redesign.
It ties the shot to a real placement and blocks common social-ad trust shortcuts.
Adapt with
- - 4:5 or 9:16
- - copy-safe area
- - background style
- - mobile readability
Shot 10
Instructional feature callout base
For a clean base image that a designer can annotate later.
Create a clean product shot base for [product type] that leaves room for manual feature callouts later. Preserve product shape, ports, buttons, texture, label area, and included parts from the authorized reference. Use a neutral background, readable angle, and no baked-in text. Avoid inventing feature labels, certification badges, technical specifications, platform UI, or claims not verified by the product owner.
It creates a useful design base without asking AI to generate unreliable text or specs.
Adapt with
- - callout side
- - feature areas
- - no-text instruction
- - technical claim boundary
