02 / A PRACTICAL WORKFLOWSTART WITH YOUR PHOTO
01Write the buyer question above the shot
A front view can identify the item. A detail photo can answer how a cap, clasp, texture, or finish looks. Scale and dimensions need measured product information or a truthful physical reference. For every color or package variant, photograph the actual SKU.
Use the worksheet below for one product. Mark an image as required, optional, captured, or still missing before you upload anything to the store.
Plan a real product-spin sequence — Record views and publish a real sequence when shoppers need to rotate the item.
Select a real detail view for the buyer question — Capture the closure, surface or construction fact that a shopper needs to inspect.
Keep accurate views anchored to the object
Shoot the main image and important close-ups from the real product. Capture angles that reveal anything a buyer could otherwise misunderstand. Keep the original files, product specifications, and variant labels with the image set.
A generated image cannot reveal an unseen back, interior, sole, or ingredient panel from a single source photo. Add those as real shots rather than asking the model to invent them.
Arrange a useful overhead view — Check overlap, inclusion and crop before using props around the actual product.
Review a supporting furniture scene — Keep verified dimensions, hardware and finish photographs beside the room inspiration.
Add one reviewed scene for context
When the factual views are covered, use a clear source image to try an additional lifestyle scene. Choose a setting and format for the intended placement, then inspect the result against the real SKU. Put it after the photos that establish what the customer receives.
Verify the pictured bundle contents — Count the real included pieces and separate them from decorative props.
Plan luggage product photographs — Plan luggage images with actual wheels, collapsed handle, interior and measured closed dimensions. Keep room or travel scenes separate from airline fit and durability evidence.
