Act as a master commercial gaffer and photographer. Create a comprehensive studio lighting diagram and equipment list for photographing [product category, e.g., reflective metallic chrome smartwatches]. Detail the key light, fill, hair/rim lights, diffusers, flags to eliminate reflections, exact power ratios, and color temperatures needed for a [mood style, e.g., high-end dramatic dark mode] look.What you get back
A clean commercial frame of the product, with the surface, shadow and angle described precisely enough to sit in a catalogue or listing.
One variation to try
Ask for the same product on a second surface and a second angle, then keep both, e-commerce pages convert better with a set than a single hero.
Before you use it
Check colour accuracy and proportions against the real product; anything you would not ship in a photo studio should not ship here.
