Q & A

What are the main elements of a product photography prompt structure in Midjourney?

The main elements are: product keyword, product object description, shot type, lighting, decorating items, composition, and aspect ratio. These work together to create detailed, customized product images.

How can you create a concept design for a new product like Apple Vision glasses using Midjourney?

Use an image of the existing product as an image prompt along with a detailed description of the new product. Lower the image weight to allow Midjourney to take creative liberties while retaining key shapes, materials and colors.

What are some good ways to showcase larger products like suitcases in Midjourney?

Place them in a larger context like an airport or room setting. Using a podium or background description can also help showcase features effectively.

What lighting keywords have the biggest impact on product images in Midjourney?

Studio lighting tends to be the default. But keywords like soft lighting, cinematic lighting, high key lighting, and low key lighting make for striking effects.

How can you incorporate water or splash effects into product images with Midjourney?

Use keywords like 'splashing liquid', 'underwater scene', or 'product splashing in water' to create dynamic energy and showcase waterproof qualities.

What's the best way to include hands or models with products in Midjourney?

Either do an indoor studio product shoot or depict the product being used outdoors. Use the first image as a style reference for consistency.

Use the Variations feature to select the area, remove the original prompt, and type the new prompt like 'bottle of perfume'.

What's an easy way to incorporate your product images into Midjourney scenes?

Use online tools like RemoveBG, MagicStudio or PhotoRoom to remove backgrounds. Then you can add your transparent product images into Midjourney scenes.

Include your brand color hex codes or palette image URL as a style reference. This will guide Midjourney to match those colors.

Start with an initial image. Use custom zoom to add products like mugs or T-shirts. Make variations like new contexts or angles to create personalized designs.
