Best Practices for Product Photography

Lighting Guidelines

• Soft box lighting - Even illumination for e-commerce shots
• Rim lighting - Creates separation from background
• Natural window light - Warm, authentic lifestyle feel
• Dramatic side lighting - Adds depth and premium look
• Diffused overhead - Minimizes harsh shadows

Composition Tips

• Center important products for e-commerce
• Use rule of thirds for lifestyle shots
• Leave negative space for text overlay
• Consider the platform aspect ratio requirements
• Include context elements that tell a story

Background Selection

• Pure white (#FFFFFF) for marketplace requirements
• Gradient backgrounds for premium products
• Contextual environments for lifestyle appeal
• Complementary colors that enhance product
• Textured surfaces for artisanal products

Prompt Tips

Effective prompts for product photography include:

Lighting descriptors:

• "soft box lighting", "natural window light", "dramatic side lighting"
• "rim light", "backlit", "diffused overhead lighting"
• "golden hour warmth", "cool studio lighting"

Angle specifications:

• "eye-level shot", "45-degree angle", "overhead flat lay"
• "low angle hero shot", "three-quarter view", "straight-on"

Background details:

• "pure white background", "gradient gray backdrop"
• "marble surface", "wooden table", "concrete texture"

Style references:

• "e-commerce style", "editorial quality", "magazine advertisement"
• "catalog photography", "Instagram aesthetic", "premium brand look"

Props and context:

• "minimalist props", "lifestyle elements", "seasonal decorations"
• "complementary accessories", "natural elements"

Mode Selection

Use max mode for final marketing assets and hero images. Use eco mode for rapid prototyping and generating multiple variations quickly.

Multi-Turn Sessions for Product Series

Use session_id to maintain consistency across a product line or catalog series.

curl -X POST "https://sense.eachlabs.run/chat" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "message": "Generate a product photo of a blue ceramic coffee mug on white background with soft natural lighting, minimalist style",
    "session_id": "product-catalog-2024",

curl -X POST "https://sense.eachlabs.run/chat" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "message": "Now generate the matching red ceramic mug in the same style and lighting setup",
    "session_id": "product-catalog-2024",

  }'

Error Handling

Retry with exponential backoff

for i in 1 2 3; do
  response=$(curl -s -w "%{http_code}" -X POST "https://sense.eachlabs.run/chat" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
    -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
    -d '{
      "message": "Professional product photo of wireless earbuds on white background",
      "mode": "max"
    }')

  http_code="${response: -3}"

  sleep $((2**i))
done
