User Guideline: Generating Photorealistic Product Imagery with Gemini Imagen
Objective: To create ultrarealistic, professional-quality images of Soundfreaq products in hotel environments for marketing use.
The key to photorealism is detail and specificity. A great prompt will instruct the AI not just what to create, but how to "photograph" it.
1. The Core Principles of a Photorealistic Prompt
To avoid a "generated" or "fake" look, every prompt should be built on the following five pillars:
Precise Subject Description: Be exact. Name the product, its color, its material, and any visible state.
- Instead of: "Soundfreaq alarm clock"
- Use: "A black Soundfreaq Sound Rise alarm clock with its red LED display showing 7:15 AM."
Detailed Environment & Staging: Describe the immediate surroundings with texture, color, and secondary objects. This grounds the product in reality.
- Instead of: "on a nightstand"
- Use: "on a dark mahogany hotel nightstand, next to a pair of eyeglasses and a half-full glass of water."
Specific Lighting Conditions: This is the most critical element for realism. Describe the light's source, color, and intensity.
- Instead of: "in a hotel room"
- Use: "illuminated by soft, warm light from a bedside lamp" or "lit by cool, early morning sunlight filtering through a large window."
Photographic & Compositional Language: Tell the AI to think like a camera. Specify the shot type, lens, and focus. This is the secret to a professional look.
- Instead of: "a picture of a speaker"
- Use: "A close-up, eye-level professional product photograph..."
- Advanced: "...shot on a DSLR with a 50mm f/1.8 lens, creating a shallow depth of field with a softly blurred background."
Overall Mood & Style: Define the desired aesthetic.
- Examples: "Cinematic," "Minimalist," "Cozy and inviting," "Luxury and sleek."

4. Quick Reference: Do's and Don'ts
| Do | Don't |
|---|---|
| Be hyper-specific about the product model and color. | Use vague terms like "a speaker." |
| Describe materials and textures (e.g., "brushed metal," "dark walnut," "matte black plastic"). | Forget to describe the surfaces. |
| Specify the light source, color, and direction. | Just say "well-lit." |
| Use professional camera and lens terminology. | Ask for "a photo" or "an image." |
| Add small, realistic details (a cable, a book, a phone). | Leave the product floating in an empty scene. |
| Define the mood (e.g., "cozy," "sleek," "serene"). | Assume the AI knows the feeling you want. |
