E-commerce Photography — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"A 20s woman with shoulder-length wavy brown hair in a casual cream hoodie and light-wash jeans holds a sleek reusable insulated water bottle (product clearly visible) while taking a mirror selfie, looking slightly toward the phone camera with a relaxed half-smile. Bright, catalog-clean natural window light in a tidy white bedroom corner with minimal decor, lifestyle background but Shopify/Amazon-ready lighting and sharp focus on the bottle; include a candid “just grabbed this for today” vibe with a second angle feel (one close-up of hand + bottle label, one wider mirror shot). Shot on phone camera, realistic skin texture, no heavy retouching, everyday UGC ad look."

Nano Banana Pro Strengths
- Industry-leading text rendering for labels, packaging, hang tags, and in-image callouts that need to be readable and on-brand

- Strong multimodal understanding to better align prompts with product details and context (e.g., “same SKU, different colorway, studio lighting”)
- Flexible resolution pricing: 1K and 2K at the same credit cost can be efficient for rapid previewing and iteration
Seedream 4.5 Strengths

- Versatile styles for brand exploration—clean studio, lifestyle, editorial, seasonal campaigns, and marketplace-friendly looks

Pick Seedream 4.5 when your workflow depends on editing and iteration—starting from an existing product or model image and refining it into multiple store-ready variants.
