Product prompt guide

How this product shot is built

A roasted cabbage wedge with a glossy caramelized miso glaze, served on a long cream platter over plum linen, shot as a vertical restaurant-style food photo. It works because the prompt fixes one hero, a tight colour palette, low side light and a macro lens look, so GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst concentrates on glaze texture and crisp leaf edges.

  1. Frame shapeVertical 4:5 portrait frame.

    Sets a tall composition so the wedge and platter fill the picture. If you drop it, the model may pick a wide layout and add empty table around the food.

  2. Hero subjectA broad roasted cabbage wedge gleams with caramelized miso glaze on a long cream ceramic platter, its layered leaves crisp at the edges.

    Names the food, its finish and its plate. Words like gleams and crisp at the edges drive the browned, shiny look. Remove them and the cabbage turns plain and pale.

  3. Colour accent propsA tiny cobalt dish of sesame seeds sits behind it on a plum linen tablecloth.

    Adds one small blue accent and a purple textile that contrast with the warm brown glaze. Making the dish bigger or adding more props would pull attention from the cabbage.

  4. Light and lensLow warm restaurant light skims the lacquered surface, 100mm food photography,

    Low side light rakes across the glaze and creates highlights. The 100mm term suggests a close, compressed view with a soft background. Change it to bright overhead light and the glaze looks flat.

  5. Mood and exclusionsprecise highlights and gentle steam, rich restrained supper campaign, no logos, no text.

    Steam adds freshness and highlights keep the glaze sharp. The mood words keep the style moody and upscale, and the last two phrases stop invented labels or signage.

What to change for your own product

To shoot your own dish, keep the structure of one hero food, one accent prop, one cloth and one light direction. Swap only the nouns and colours.

Hero dish
This prompt uses a roasted cabbage wedge with miso glaze. Write your own dish plus its cooking finish, such as seared salmon with honey soy lacquer or charred aubergine with chilli oil.
Plate
A long cream ceramic platter keeps the focus on the glaze. For a darker dish, choose a pale plate; for a pale dish, try matte charcoal stoneware.
Backdrop and prop
Plum linen and a cobalt sesame dish give a complementary colour pop. Pick a cloth and one small prop that contrast with your food's main colour.
Light
Low warm restaurant light skimming the surface shows gloss. Keep that wording for sauces and glazes; for matte foods like bread, say soft window light instead.

Ready-made variations

Glazed salmon fillet

Use it for a fish main course; the green cloth replaces plum to suit the pink fillet.

Prompt

Vertical 4:5 portrait frame. A thick seared salmon fillet gleams with sticky soy and maple glaze on a long matte grey stoneware platter, its edges crisp and flaky. A tiny brass dish of sliced scallions sits behind it on a deep green linen tablecloth. Low warm restaurant light skims the glossy surface, 100mm food photography, precise highlights and gentle steam, rich restrained supper campaign, no logos, no text.

Dark chocolate tart

Shifts to dessert with the same set-up, good for a cafe menu or sweet-course promotion.

Prompt

Vertical 4:5 portrait frame. A single slice of dark chocolate tart with a mirror-shiny ganache top stands on a small white ceramic plate, its buttery crust crumbling at the edges. A tiny copper dish of sea salt flakes sits behind it on a navy linen tablecloth. Low warm candlelit restaurant light skims the glossy surface, 100mm food photography, precise highlights, rich restrained dessert campaign, no logos, no text.

Bright daylight brunch

Same dish in a lighter, daytime look for a casual menu or social feed.

Prompt

Vertical 4:5 portrait frame. A broad roasted cabbage wedge with golden miso glaze rests on a long cream ceramic platter, its leaves crisp at the edges. A tiny cobalt dish of sesame seeds sits behind it on a pale oat linen tablecloth. Soft bright morning window light from the left, 100mm food photography, clean highlights, fresh airy brunch campaign, no logos, no text.

Model and settings

Keep the 4:5 ratio, since the tall frame suits a single wedge on a long platter and works well for social feeds and menu cards. Keep quality on high so the glaze highlights, leaf edges and linen weave stay detailed. For a wide banner, change the ratio to a landscape one and add more empty table space to the prompt. This is text-to-image, so no input picture is needed.

  • FLUX.2 ProChoose it when you want a strongly photoreal look and tighter colour control, for example matching the exact plum and cobalt to brand hex values.
  • Nano Banana 2.1A good pick if you want a sharp 4K result from the same prompt, or plan to add a short menu caption later.

When the product shot goes wrong

The cabbage looks pale or boiled instead of caramelized.
Strengthen the finish words: write deeply browned, sticky caramelized miso glaze with charred leaf tips, and keep the low side light so the gloss shows.
The sesame dish grows large or extra props crowd the platter.
Keep tiny and behind it, and add only one small dish, no other props. Name the cobalt dish as the only accessory.
Stray words or fake labels appear on the plate or cloth.
Keep no logos, no text at the end, and do not mention menus, signs or packaging anywhere else in the prompt.
The platter shape warps or turns round and short.
Repeat long rectangular cream ceramic platter and keep the 4:5 vertical frame, so the model has room to draw the full plate edge.

Questions about this product prompt

Why does the prompt say 100mm food photography?

It points the model to a close macro-style look with a softly blurred background. That keeps the glaze and leaf layers sharp while the cobalt dish stays gently out of focus. A wider lens term would show more table.

Can I use this prompt for a different vegetable dish?

Yes. Replace the cabbage wedge and glaze with your dish, such as roasted cauliflower with tahini. Keep the platter, single accent dish, linen and low side light, because those parts create the restaurant mood.

How do I get steam without it looking like smoke?

The prompt asks for gentle steam, which is a good wording. If it looks heavy, write a faint wisp of steam rising from the wedge. Avoid words like smoke or fog, which can cover the glaze.
