tomevault-io Product Photoshoot Workflow
Turn one product reference photo into a brand-ready set of 4 distinct images, each emphasizing a different sales angle.
When to trigger
- User uploads a product photo and says "make e-commerce images", "design a campaign", "I need product shots"
- User says 电商产品图 / 产品多角度图 / 产品拍摄 / 产品营销图
- Anyone asking for "a set of product images" with a reference attached
Prerequisites
- A reference image is required — the user MUST provide a product photo (URL or local path). If they have not, ask once: "Please share the product photo you want me to work from." Do NOT try to invent a product without a reference.
- Confirm provider is configured (any of MeiGen / OpenAI-compatible / ComfyUI). If not, hand off to
/meigen:setup.
The 4 directions
Always plan exactly 4 directions in this order. Present as a table to the user and ask which to generate(per UX Rule 8 — always confirm before batch). Include "all four in parallel" as an option.
| # | Direction | Aspect | Intent |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lifestyle Scene | 4:3 or 16:9 | Product placed in its natural use-context (a watch on a wrist, a candle on a coffee table, a bottle on a bar). Soft natural lighting. |
| 2 | Macro Detail | 1:1 | Extreme close-up. Material grain, texture, surface reflections. Studio lighting. |
| 3 | Scale / Context | 4:3 | Product alongside a familiar object (hand, fruit, ruler) to convey size, OR product on a clean pedestal with subtle shadow. |
| 4 | Marketing Layout | 3:4 or 9:16 | Editorial / poster composition — product offset to one side, with negative space for headline text. Strong color block or gradient background. |
Generation flow
- Read user intent — product type, brand mood (luxury? playful? minimalist?), color palette. Use
search_gallery(category="Product & Brand")if you need style references; 239 curated examples are available. - Plan and present — write the 4 prompts (distinct, not just one tweaked four ways) and show them to the user. Each prompt MUST:
- Reference the input image's product
- Specify the direction's intent (lifestyle / macro / scale / marketing)
- Include lighting direction
- Mention material handling if relevant (matte, glossy, translucent, metallic)
- AskUserQuestion — "Pick directions to generate. All four runs ~4 parallel agents — confirm?"
- Generate in parallel — for the directions chosen, spawn
meigen:image-generatoragents in a single response, each passing the reference image asreferenceImagesand the planned prompt. OmitaspectRatiounless the user pinned one — describe the ratio in the prompt instead so each direction gets its own framing. - Present results — Image URL + saved path for each, grouped by direction label. Do NOT describe the generated images (UX Rule 1).
Prompt templates (starting points — adapt to the actual product)
Lifestyle Scene:
"[product description from reference], placed in [natural context appropriate to product], soft golden-hour daylight from upper left, shallow depth of field, lifestyle editorial photography, 4:3 horizontal composition."
Macro Detail:
"Extreme macro close-up of [product] showing [material — leather grain / metal brushed finish / liquid translucency / etc.], dramatic studio side-lighting, sharp focus on texture, 1:1 square frame, commercial product photography."
Scale / Context:
"[product] on a clean white marble pedestal with [comparison object — e.g., a human hand reaching in / a fresh orange / a small notebook] for scale, even diffuse light, neutral background, professional product catalog photography, 4:3 horizontal."
Marketing Layout:
"[product] positioned in the right third of the frame, large negative space on the left for headline copy, bold color-block background in [brand-appropriate color], dramatic side lighting, magazine campaign style, vertical 3:4 composition."
Iteration
After the first batch:
- If user likes one direction → offer "extensions" (different angles of the same direction, color variants, seasonal versions)
- If a direction misses → ask what to change (mood / palette / placement) and regenerate ONLY that one
- Never silently regenerate — every retry is explicit
What to skip
- Don't try to "remove background" or "add text" via generate_image — those are post-processing steps the user does separately
- Don't pick the cheapest model to save credits (UX Rule 5 — default to quality)
- Don't add MidJourney
--aror other flags in the prompt — passaspectRatioparameter when needed
