Shot types Etsy buyers expect
- White-background hero shot (main thumbnail).
- Lifestyle scene showing scale and use.
- Detail texture close-up (materials, stitching).
Prompt patterns
- Product photography, [item] on white seamless background, soft shadow, studio lighting, e-commerce.
- Lifestyle photo, [item] on kitchen counter, morning light, cozy, shallow depth of field.
Workflow for sellers
- Generate base scenes on /image-generation/.
- Overlay your real product in Canva or Photoshop when accuracy matters.
- Browse /blog/product-photography-prompts/ for more ideas.
