DIY Product Photography: 12 AI Prompts + Camera Settings Guide
Shoot 6–8 publication-ready product images in 90 minutes — no photographer, no studio rental. This guide gives solo sellers exactly what generic AI tutorials skip: 12 prompts engineered for physical products only, each paired with the exact camera settings to match the AI output in real life.
Every prompt specifies angle (flat lay, hero, 3/4, 75° overhead), lighting rig (window, 3-point, single key), and a three-color palette tied to your product category — jewelry on marble, leather on slate, ceramics on linen. Run the prompt, set your camera to the matching ISO/aperture/shutter, and the AI mockup and your live shot will look like they came from the same brand.
Inside: 12 category prompts, a master settings chart, a flat-lay composition guide with five rules and worked examples, an angle glossary with exact AI keywords, a color-matching guide to prevent warm/cool mismatches, a prompt customization framework for your specific product colors and aesthetics, and a 90-minute session workflow. Everything is readable text you can use immediately. Nothing to install.
Who It Is For
Solo e-commerce sellers and small product-based business owners who shoot their own inventory and want faster, studio-quality mockup and lifestyle images without hiring a photographer.
