E-commerce Photography — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"Casual UGC-style e-commerce photo of a woman in her mid-20s with shoulder-length wavy brown hair, wearing a fitted white tee and light-wash jeans, holding a minimalist stainless-steel insulated water bottle (product clearly visible, logo facing camera) while looking near the phone camera with a relaxed half-smile. Shot in a bright kitchen with a clean white countertop and soft window daylight, slight handheld selfie feel like an Instagram story; include a second “angle” feel with the bottle resting on the counter beside her hand for a catalog-ready look. Neutral, true-to-color lighting, sharp focus on the product, authentic everyday vibe (not editorial or cinematic)."
