Product Photography — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"A 20s woman with shoulder-length wavy brown hair in a casual hoodie and leggings holds two supplement-style tubs labeled “Nano Banana Pro” and “Seedream 4.5” up near her face, looking slightly past the phone camera like she’s mid-IG story comparison in her bright kitchen. Shoot it like high-end product photography: the two tubs isolated on a clean white background on the counter edge with crisp, dramatic studio-style shadows and sharp detail, while her hands and a hint of her candid face remain in-frame, natural window light mixed with subtle flash. Authentic UGC vibe (slight handheld imperfection), but the products are tack-sharp, glossy, and commercial like an Apple-style launch shot."
