Your prompt

Create a 4:5 image that looks like a casual photo taken on a recent smartphone by a customer, showing a set of stackable glass food-storage containers in everyday use. Scene: a family kitchen after meal prep, containers filled with colourful salads on the counter. Natural, imperfect framing, slightly off-centre, a little clutter that belongs in the real setting. Light: overhead kitchen light mixed with daylight from a window; no studio lighting, no professional retouching, natural skin and surface texture. Camera feel: handheld, slight wide-angle perspective, sharp subject with mild background blur from phone portrait mode. Product: clearly visible and recognisable, but not posed or held toward the camera. Constraints: no text, no overlays, no logos other than those on the product, plausible hands and anatomy.

Example of what to expect

Illustrative only. It describes the kind of result this prompt aims for; real output varies by tool, model and run.

A slightly off-centre phone-style photo of filled glass containers on a cluttered but friendly kitchen counter, natural light, nothing staged.

Expected format: One image at the requested ratio.

How to use it

  1. Pair with a plain-language caption that sounds like a customer, not a brand.
  2. Use it as a test variant against a polished version of the same offer.
  3. Review platform rules on synthetic or AI-generated content in ads.

Limitations

  • An AI image styled as a customer photo can mislead viewers if presented as a real testimonial. Do not use it to imply a real person's endorsement.
  • Some platforms and regions require disclosure of AI-generated or digitally altered imagery; check current rules.

Aspect ratio is set with the size parameter, not in prose. Use medium or high quality when the image contains text or fine detail.

General notes on OpenAI GPT Image
  • OpenAI's guide covers gpt-image-2 (recommended), gpt-image-1.5, gpt-image-1 and gpt-image-1-mini.
  • Aspect ratio is set through the size parameter, not in prose. Quality is low, medium or high; medium or high is advised for small or dense text.
  • Put literal text in quotation marks, and when editing say what must stay unchanged.

FLUX.2 does not use negative prompts, so every constraint here is written as something to do rather than something to avoid.

General notes on FLUX (Black Forest Labs)
  • BFL's official guidance for FLUX.2: no negative prompts (describe what you want), write sentences rather than keyword lists, specify lighting, quote text to render, and pair colour names with hex codes.
