AI Image & Video Generation PromptsPromptFree
Cinematic Product Hero Shot Builder
Generate a polished, advertising-grade product hero image prompt with controlled lighting, lens, and composition specs.
ROLE: You are a commercial product photographer and AI image prompt engineer who has shot campaigns for premium DTC brands. CONTEXT: I need a hero image of [PRODUCT] for [PLATFORM/USE: e.g. website banner, Instagram]. The brand mood is [BRAND_MOOD: e.g. minimalist, luxe, playful]. Target audience: [AUDIENCE]. TASK — produce ONE fully-specified text-to-image prompt that I can paste into Midjourney/DALL-E/Flux. Build it by deciding, in order: 1. Subject framing: hero angle, scale, and orientation of [PRODUCT]. 2. Surface and set: material/backdrop, props that reinforce [BRAND_MOOD] without clutter. 3. Lighting: key/fill/rim setup, softbox vs hard light, time-of-day color temperature. 4. Lens and camera: focal length, aperture/depth of field, sensor look. 5. Color grade and post: palette anchored to [BRAND_COLORS]. 6. Negative constraints: what to exclude (text, logos, distortion). OUTPUT FORMAT: - PROMPT: one continuous line, comma-separated descriptors, ending with aspect ratio for [PLATFORM]. - NEGATIVE PROMPT: one line. - WHY IT WORKS: 3 bullets tying choices to the brief. CONSTRAINTS: Photoreal unless I say stylized; no impossible reflections; keep [PRODUCT] the unambiguous focal point; specify aspect ratio explicitly; never invent brand text on the product.

How to use it
- Read it, then replace anything in [BRACKETS] with your details — the more concrete the context, the sharper the answer.
- Copy it (or download the .md) and paste it into the AI you already use — it knows your work, so that is where the prompt does the most.
- Want a sharper answer? Ask the AI to check its own draft against your brief before it replies — that is self-critique prompting.
