- # Ads Photoshoot: AI Product Photography

-

- Transforms a product image or description into professional ad-ready photography

- in 5 distinct visual styles. Each style generates at two sizes: 1:1 (Meta/LinkedIn)

- and 9:16 (TikTok/Reels/Stories).

-

- ## Quick Reference

-

- | Command | What it does |

- |---------|-------------|

- | `/ads photoshoot` | Interactive: ask for product + styles |

- | `/ads photoshoot --styles studio floating` | Generate only selected styles |

- | `/ads photoshoot --product shoe.jpg` | Start with a product image file |

- | `/ads photoshoot --all-platforms` | Generate all 5 sizes per style |

-

- ## Environment Setup

-

- Requires banana-claude (v1.4.1+) with nanobanana-mcp configured.

- Run `/banana setup` to configure API key and MCP.

-

- ## Process

-

- ### Step 1: Collect Product Information

-

- Ask (combine into one message):

- 1. **Product image**: Path to product image file (local) OR product URL OR text description

- > "Provide a product image path (e.g. ./product.jpg), a URL, or describe your product"

- 2. **Product description**: What is it? Key features to highlight? (helps prompt quality)

- 3. **Styles to generate**: Which of the 5 styles? (default: all 5)

- - Studio, Floating, Ingredient, In Use, Lifestyle

- 4. **Target platforms**: Which platforms will these run on?

- - Determines output sizes (default: Meta + TikTok → 1:1 + 9:16)

-

- ### Step 2: Load Brand Profile (Optional)

-

- Check for `brand-profile.json` in the current directory.

-

- If found, extract for style injection:

- - `colors.primary` → inject into backgrounds and accent elements

- - `aesthetic.mood_keywords` → inject as atmosphere descriptors

- - `target_audience` → use for Lifestyle and In Use context

- - `imagery.forbidden` → exclude from all prompts

-

- If not found, proceed with standard style templates.

-

- ### Step 3: Verify banana-claude

-

- Verify banana-claude is installed (run `/banana setup` to check). If not installed,

- display setup instructions and exit.

-

- ### Step 4: Construct Prompts per Style

-

- For each selected style, build the prompt using the template + product description + brand DNA.

-

- #### Style 1: Studio

- Clean, e-commerce style product shot.

-

- **Base template:**

- ```

- "[product description], professional product photography, clean white seamless

- background, even studio lighting, soft drop shadow, high detail product focus,

- ecommerce style, [brand.colors.primary] subtle accent reflections if applicable,

- top-down or 3/4 angle, no distractions, catalog quality"

- ```

-

- **Composition:** Centered, slight 3/4 angle or flat lay.

- **Output sizes:** 1080×1080, 1080×1920

-

- #### Style 2: Floating

- Dramatic levitation effect.

-

- **Base template:**

- ```

- "[product description] floating in mid-air, dramatic floating product shot,

- [brand.colors.primary or brand.aesthetic.mood_keywords[0]] gradient background,

- atmospheric shadow below product, levitation effect, product defying gravity,

- clean modern aesthetic, high contrast, striking visual"

- ```

-

- **Composition:** Product centered vertically, ample space above and below.

- **Output sizes:** 1080×1080, 1080×1920

-

- #### Style 3: Ingredient

- Flat lay with components.

-

- **Base template:**

- ```

- "[product description] centered flat lay, surrounded by its key ingredients

- or materials artfully arranged, top-down overhead view, clean light background,

- natural texture surface, product as hero element, ingredients scattered with

- intentional negative space, editorial food photography style"

- ```

-

- **Composition:** Top-down, product in center, ingredients fanning out.

- **Output sizes:** 1080×1080 (optimal for this style). Also generate 9:16 vertical for TikTok/Reels/Stories placements.

-

- #### Style 4: In Use

- Authentic usage context.

-

- **Base template:**

- ```

- "person's hands using [product description] in natural context, lifestyle

- photography, focus on product-hand interaction, shallow depth of field,

- warm natural window light, authentic not staged, [brand.target_audience.profession]

- implied context, [brand.aesthetic.mood_keywords] atmosphere"

- ```

-

- **Composition:** Hands prominent, product clearly identifiable, background soft-focus.

- **Note:** Hands only; no full face (avoids model release complications).

- **Output sizes:** 1080×1080, 1080×1920

-

- #### Style 5: Lifestyle

- Aspirational full-context shot.

-

- **Base template:**

- ```

- "[product description] in aspirational lifestyle scene, [brand.target_audience.age_range]

- demographic implied environment, [brand.target_audience.profession] context,

- [brand.aesthetic.mood_keywords] atmosphere, golden hour or clean natural lighting,

- editorial photography style, [brand.aesthetic.negative_space] composition,

- product clearly visible and prominent"

- ```

-

- **Composition:** Environmental context, product as hero element within the scene.

- **Output sizes:** 1080×1080, 1080×1920

-

- ### Iterative Refinement

-

- For iterative refinement: if initial generation doesn't match brand expectations, adjust the prompt by specifying: lighting direction, color temperature, background texture, or product angle before regenerating.

-

- ### Step 5: Generate Images

-

- **Domain mode selection per style:**

- - Use banana **Product** mode for Studio, Floating, and Ingredient styles

- - Use banana **Editorial** mode for In Use and Lifestyle styles

- - Set resolution to 2K (default) for all generations

-

- **Aspect ratio setup:** Use banana MCP `set_aspect_ratio` before each generation:

- - For 1080x1080: set ratio to 1:1

- - For 1080x1920: set ratio to 9:16

-

- For each style x size combination, use `/banana generate` with the constructed

- prompt, selected domain mode, and correct aspect ratio. Save output to

- `./product-photos/[style]/[product-slug]-[style]-[WxH].png`.

-

- Track results. If a generation fails, retry once with a simplified prompt.

-

- ### Step 6: Organize and Report

-

- **Output directory structure:**

- ```

- ./product-photos/

- studio/

- product-studio-1080x1080.png

- product-studio-1080x1920.png

- floating/

- product-floating-1080x1080.png
