**COMMERCIAL USAGE CHECKLIST:**
- Does image have 40% negative space for client to add text?
- Is background clean enough for clipping path in 1 click?
- Would this image increase conversion if A/B tested vs current hero? How to measure?
- Can this prompt be re-used for 50 SKUs by changing only [PRODUCT NAME] token?
**PRO TIP FROM $50M PORTFOLIO:**
Most people write "beautiful product photography image". You write a technical shoot brief that a $10K/day photographer would understand. The difference is specificity: instead of "nice lighting" say "large octabox 150cm at 45 degrees camera left, 1 stop below key, white V-flat fill camera right". AI models reward photographic literacy.
**YOUR INPUTS REQUIRED:**
[INSERT YOUR SUBJECT]
[INSERT YOUR BRAND COLORS HEX]
[INSERT YOUR TARGET PLATFORM: Website Hero / Amazon / Instagram / Pitch Deck]
[INSERT YOUR MOOD: e.g., Calm Luxury vs Energetic Hype]
Then execute all 12 variations. Output as copy-paste ready code blocks.
