What to Type for AI

AI Product Photography Prompts: Ecommerce Edition

Stop paying $500+ per product shoot. This prompt guide gives you 25 production-ready AI photography prompts — reverse-engineered from real Shopify and Etsy bestseller image strategies — that generate usable lifestyle mockups on the first or second iteration.

Every prompt is built on a five-layer architecture (subject, lifestyle context, lighting, composition, parameters) that outperforms generic 'product photo' prompts because it names exact materials, light setups, and emotional contexts. You get complete shot-list checklists for 8 product categories so you know exactly which images to generate for every product page, plus 5 plug-and-play lighting formulas you drop into any prompt.

Compatible with Midjourney v6, DALL-E 3, and Flux 1.1 Pro. Includes a full Midjourney parameter cheat sheet, a troubleshooting guide for 12 common AI image failures, and a 5-step workflow for taking outputs from raw generation to upload-ready assets. Everything you need is text inside this PDF — no external tools required to use the prompts.
