What is AI Product Photography Prompt?

An AI product photography prompt is a structured instruction for creating a studio or lifestyle image of a product. It should describe the product material, camera angle, surface, background, light source, shadow quality, reflection level, props, and final aspect ratio. If the product already exists in a reference image, tell the model to preserve the product shape, logo area, color, material, and proportions while changing only the scene or lighting.
