14 ChatGPT Prompts To Create High End Product Shoots

Two weeks ago we tested to see if ChatGPT could do a photoshoot for a Hobby Letter jacket, this week we’re testing to see how well it would work for a CPG brand.

With The Hobby Letter being about how to monetize off of your hobby, we thought it was only right to create “The Hobby Cards” since our founder Buster, collects sports cards. Below is the product mockup we created in ChatGPT.

P.S. Scroll to the end to learn how to easily come up with more prompts like this on your own 💡

Prompt #1

I have attached a photo of my product. Please present it floating mid-air in a clean studio with a soft spotlight creating dramatic shadows below. Use minimal background and subtle motion blur to emphasize weightlessness and design precision.

Prompt #2

I have attached a photo of my product. Please present it resting on cracked mirror shards, each shard reflecting a different angle of the product. Use moody lighting and shadows for depth.

Prompt #3

I have attached a photo of my product. Please present it against a dark background with glowing LED streaks of pink, blue, and purple wrapping around the product. The product should be slightly glossy or misted to catch reflections.

Prompt #4

Prompt #5

I have attached a photo of my product. Please present it on a vintage wooden table surrounded by objects from different eras (like a rotary phone, polaroid, or digital watch). Use warm, directional light to highlight the product.

Prompt #6

Some Notes: We noticed a few things from trying all of these prompts 👇

  • ChatGPT struggled with the consistency of the details on George Washington’s face — especially with the eyes.

  • If your brand’s logo isn’t as complex as George Washington on the $1 bill then ChatGPT will have an easier time reproducing it.

  • There were also some minor font inconsistencies when generating the images.

  • If this happens to you, this can be fixed on a second prompt asking ChatGPT to fix the font/type issues in the image it created.
