Product prompt guide

How this product shot is built

A handheld dual-tone matcha and vanilla soft serve cone stands out against a vivid sky blue backdrop under harsh summer sun. GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst renders crisp drop shadows and a photorealistic drip, balancing creamy textures with bold, graphic color contrast. The clean composition highlights the food product cleanly without distracting props.

  1. Framing and formatVertical 4:5 portrait frame.

What to change for your own product

Swap the food elements and background colors to showcase your own beverage, snack, or cosmetic packaging in the same vibrant, sunlit handheld aesthetic.

Model and settings

Keep the aspect ratio set to 4:5 to preserve the tall vertical framing suited for handheld food and mobile feeds. Maintain the high quality setting so the model cleanly resolves delicate spiral ridges, ice cream texture, and the waffle cone pattern. If you need a horizontal banner for an e-commerce website header, adjust the ratio to 16:9 while keeping the prompt in text-to-image mode.

  • FLUX.2 ProSwitch to FLUX.2 Pro if you want strict hex color matching on the wall backdrop and hyper-photorealistic skin textures on the holding hand.
  • Nano Banana 2.1Choose Nano Banana 2.1 when you need ultra-sharp 4K output for physical print menus or oversized food posters.

When the product shot goes wrong

The holding hand looks distorted with extra fingers or melted into the cone.
Change 'A hand holding a swirl' to 'A neat adult hand wearing neutral nail polish firmly gripping the waffle cone base', separating the hand clearly from the soft serve swirl.
The soft serve drip looks overly messy and obscures the cone pattern.
Replace 'a small drip running down' with 'a single neat droplet on the swirl edge', or remove the drip phrase entirely for a pristine commercial look.
Unwanted text, logos, or signage appear on the solid background wall.
Reinforce the solid surface by adding 'completely plain solid painted wall, blank flat surface' immediately after the background description.

Questions about this product prompt

How do I get distinct two-tone swirls instead of a muddy blended green?

Explicitly separate the colors in the subject phrase, such as 'a distinct dual-flavor half-matcha and half-vanilla swirl with crisp separation'. This prevents GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst from blending the matcha green and vanilla cream into a single pale green tone.

Can I remove the hand and keep only the ice cream cone?

Yes, replace 'A hand holding a swirl' with 'A waffle cone filled with a swirl of matcha and vanilla soft serve standing upright on a matching sky blue pedestal'. This keeps the minimal aesthetic while removing all hand elements.

How do I soften the harsh shadows on the background wall?

Replace 'hard summer sunlight with a crisp shadow' with 'soft diffused studio lighting, gentle ambient glow, subtle soft shadow'. This creates a smoother, pastel catalog look without the bold graphic contrast.
