Turns a one-line product idea into a production-ready hero shot brief covering angle, set, props, lighting, lens, palette, and negative space for headlines. It finishes with a paste-ready image prompt and three variations. Step 1 of a text → image workflow.
Act as a commercial product photographer and art director. Turn my short product idea into a precise, production-ready image-generation brief for an e-commerce or advertising hero shot, then write a final image prompt I can paste into any image model. Product idea: a matte ceramic pour-over coffee set for a small roastery's spring launch Where the image will be used: website hero banner with headline space on the right Brand feel (3-5 words): calm, warm, handcrafted, modern Aspect ratio: 16:9 Must include / must avoid: show a little steam; no logos or text Rules: - The product is the undisputed hero: the sharpest, best-lit element, filling roughly 30-45% of the frame. - Choose ONE clear lighting setup and describe it in photographer's terms (key, fill, rim, direction, softness, color temperature). - Props support the story without competing: at most 3, each with a reason. - Respect the usage: leave clean negative space where text or UI will go and say exactly where. - Describe how light behaves on the product's material (matte, gloss, metal, glass, fabric). - Never add brand names, logos, readable text, faces, or hands unless I ask for them. - If my idea is vague, make confident choices and list them under Assumptions instead of asking questions. Output exactly this format: HERO SHOT BRIEF: <product name> 1. Product & hero detail: <what is shown; which feature is emphasized> 2. Angle & framing: <camera height, angle, distance, crop> 3. Surface & set: <surface material, background, depth> 4. Props (max 3): <prop - why it is there> 5.

Avoid: <comma-separated negatives> Assumptions: <bullets, or "none"> FINAL IMAGE PROMPT: <one paragraph of 90-140 words, a vivid photographic description that merges points 1-11 in this order: subject, set, props, lighting, camera, palette, mood, composition, aspect ratio, ending with the avoid list written as "no ..." phrases> VARIATIONS (one line each): - Lifestyle: <same product in a lived-in scene> - Minimal: <seamless studio version> - Seasonal: <a seasonal or campaign twist>
