Product prompt guide

How this product shot is built

A frosted glass serum bottle floats upright in tranquil aqua water, framed for e-commerce and social feeds. The prompt produces realistic fluid physics and glass refraction by combining specific optical terms like caustics with a clean water surface. GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst renders pristine glass textures and soft ripples without introducing messy reflections or phantom lettering.

  1. hero subject framingVertical 4:5 portrait frame. A frosted glass serum bottle with a dropper

    This defines the core cosmetic container and vertical orientation. Without the frosted glass specification, the model defaults to plain glossy plastic or irregular laboratory glassware.

  2. liquid base settingfloating upright on a still pale aqua water surface,

    It establishes the calm liquid environment and gives the scene its subtle pastel hue. Omitting the pale aqua note yields generic white or deep, murky blue reflections.

  3. lighting and fluid physicsgentle concentric ripples around it, soft overhead light making delicate caustics,

    Mentioning ripples and caustics instructs the model to calculate natural water refraction patterns. Dropping caustics leaves the pool flat and creates an unconvincing cutout look around the bottle base.

  4. aesthetic and negative guidanceclean beauty product photography, calm and fresh, no brand name, no text.

    This ensures commercial studio clarity while explicitly forbidding random generated logos. Without this clause, AI models often print scrambled typographical gibberish on the glass.

What to change for your own product

Adapt this minimalist water-set template to highlight your own cosmetics or luxury accessories by adjusting four core elements.

Product & Material
This prompt uses a frosted glass serum bottle with a dropper. Swap in a matte ceramic cream jar, an amber glass perfume flacon, or a brushed metallic tube.
Water Color & Surface
Configured here as still pale aqua water with concentric rings. Change to milky pastel pink water, crystalline clear water with splash droplets, or deep emerald reflection pools.
Lighting & Caustics
Uses soft overhead light with delicate underwater caustics. Try dramatic side rim lighting for moodier shadows, or direct noon sunlight for sharp, geometric shimmer lines.
Floating Interaction
Currently features the bottle floating upright. Switch to partially submerged lying on its side, perched dry on a wet slate podium, or bursting upward through a splash crown.

Ready-made variations

Dark Luxury Perfume

Swaps skincare for a luxury fragrance campaign using high-contrast dark tones and crisp reflections.

Prompt

Vertical 4:5 portrait frame. A heavy rectangular black crystal perfume bottle floating upright on dark obsidian water, subtle geometric ripples around it, moody directional rim light casting sharp caustics across the surface, luxury fragrance advertising photography, dramatic and elegant, no brand name, no text.

Botanical Face Cream

Shifts the category to facial moisturiser while introducing floral props and milky liquid for an organic vibe.

Prompt

Vertical 4:5 portrait frame. A pastel green ceramic moisturiser jar resting upright on a shallow milky water bath, gentle circular ripples and floating jasmine petals around it, soft diffused morning daylight, clean organic skincare commercial photography, serene and natural, no brand name, no text.

Sparkling Water Can

Moves from skincare into canned beverages, emphasizing outdoor sunlight and energetic clear-water ripples.

Prompt

Vertical 4:5 portrait frame. A matte silver aluminum beverage can floating upright in crystal clear turquoise pool water, crisp concentric waves spreading outward, bright sunny overhead illumination with dancing prism caustics, fresh beverage commercial photography, vibrant and refreshing, no brand name, no text.

Model and settings

Keep the aspect ratio set to 4:5 to maintain ideal proportions for mobile social feeds and vertical storefront banners. Select high quality to ensure the fine concentric ripples, refraction through the glass, and droplet edges render cleanly without digital noise. Because this is a text-to-image run, generate your initial hero concept first; if you need wider website hero banners later, switch the aspect ratio to 16:9 while retaining the exact same text.

When the product shot goes wrong

Garbled pseudo-words appear stamped on the glass bottle surface.
Re-enforce the negative cue by replacing no brand name, no text with blank unprinted frosted glass label, zero typography, smooth unbranded exterior.
The bottle tilts sideways or sinks awkwardly below the waterline.
Replace floating upright with perfectly balanced upright on surface tension, base submerged five millimeters, vertical studio pedestal posture.
Water reflections become messy, jagged, or look like melted plastic.
Change gentle concentric ripples to smooth single circular wave ring, perfectly flat mirror-like water sheet, clean liquid physics.

Questions about this product prompt

How do I stop the AI from generating gibberish logos on the bottle?

Models love putting fake labels on commercial packaging. Use explicit phrases like blank frosted glass, unprinted container, and zero typography at the end of the prompt to keep surfaces clean.

Why does my floating bottle look like a flat cutout pasted onto the water?

Realistic liquid interactions depend on caustic highlights and contact ripples. Mention gentle concentric ripples and underwater caustics so the model renders natural optical refraction around the bottle base.

Can I add natural props like flowers or fruit slices without cluttering the scene?

Yes, but keep the count low and position them intentionally. Add a phrase like flanked by two floating white jasmine petals to maintain focus on the hero serum bottle.
