How to Customize It

Replace the bracketed sections:

[PRODUCT]: your product (e.g., "a matte black perfume bottle")
[TEXTURED SURFACE]: the surface (e.g., "raw concrete slab", "warm oak table", "crumpled linen")
[COMPLEMENTARY OBJECTS]: objects that enhance the scene (e.g., "dried flowers", "coffee beans", "linen cloth")

Why It Works

The prompt nails the key elements of luxury product photography: top-down perspective, natural lighting with warm shadows, textured surface for depth, and intentional negative space. For more image prompts like this, see my ChatGPT image prompting guide.
