EXAMPLE — MADE WITH THIS EXACT PROMPT

THE PROMPT — COPY, SWAP THE BRACKETS, RUN

Vertical 4:5 still-life photograph recreating the raw-materials-altar technique of premium apothecary campaigns. Against a warm cocoa-brown seamless backdrop, build a quiet landscape of elemental matter: a pitted travertine block, a rough white plaster slab, a rusted iron cylinder standing like a column, a cracked sandstone shard, a charred black lava brick, a small brushed-brass cube and a length of oxidized copper pipe — every surface tactile and honest, arranged at varied heights with museum restraint. Nested among them at center right, glowing amber against the earth tones, sits [PRODUCT — e.g. "Solva, a charcoal facial cleanser in an amber glass apothecary bottle with a black ribbed cap"]. Its cream paper label is the only text in the image, typeset like a pharmacist's specification sheet — brand name, product line, three ingredient names and two short paragraphs of fine print, all legible: [LABEL TEXT — e.g. "Solva — In Balance Facial Cleanser — Willow Bark, White Clay, Sage"]. Light with one soft directional window source from the left, gentle long shadows, faint dust and powder smudges on the glossy dark floor. Palette strictly earthen: browns, creams, rust, black, amber. No headline, no tagline, no logo lockup — the label carries everything. No cold grey minimalism, no plants or fabric props, no people, no real skincare brands, no watermark.

HOW TO RUN IT

  1. Paste the prompt into GPT Image with your product and one ruthless line — cut every extra word first.
  2. Reroll until the shadow is one clean blade; two shadows means two lights, which breaks the style.
  3. Resist adding color or props — the emptiness is the flex.
