Example session with this skill installed
I need a shot list for a 12oz ceramic mug with a speckled blue glaze. I sell on Shopify and Instagram. I'm shooting DIY with an iPhone. My brand is 'Modern Coastal' using navy and sand colors.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the product photography shot
- Generated the image
I have generated a complete photography plan for your Modern Coastal ceramic mug. This plan optimizes for Shopify's high-resolution requirements and Instagram's vertical engagement.
Product Photography Plan: Speckled Blue Ceramic Mug
📐 PLATFORM REQUIREMENTS
SHOPIFY:
- Recommended aspect ratio: 1:1 (square) for catalog consistency.
- Resolution: Minimum 2048px on longest side for zoom functionality.
- File type: WebP or compressed JPG for fast loading.
INSTAGRAM:
- Feed: 4:5 portrait (1080 x 1350px) to occupy more screen real estate.
- Stories/Reels: 9:16 vertical.
- Focus on lifestyle imagery that fits the "Modern Coastal" aesthetic.
📸 YOUR COMPLETE SHOT LIST
| Shot # | Category | Angle | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Hero | 45° Front | Main Listing Image. Mug on a clean sand-colored surface. Soft side lighting to highlight the speckled texture. |
| 02 | Detail | Macro | Texture Close-up. Focus on the glaze transition at the rim. Shows the handmade quality. |
| 03 | Scale | Eye-level | Hand-held. A person holding the mug by the handle to show grip size and 12oz volume context. |
| 04 | Lifestyle | Flat Lay | Morning Scene. Mug viewed from 90° above on a navy linen napkin next to a wooden spoon. |
| 05 | Lifestyle | 3/4 View | Coastal Environment. Mug on a light wood table with a view of a window or a succulent in the background. |
| 06 | Packaging | Front | Unboxing. The mug inside its protective wrap and branded box to show shipping safety. |
🎨 STYLING GUIDE
- Color Palette: Navy (primary), Sand/Beige (base), Crisp White (accent).
- Props: Navy linen textiles, light driftwood, coarse sea salt in a small bowl, or a simple white coffee carafe.
Lighting: Position your DIY setup 3 feet from a large window. Use a white foam board opposite the window to bounce light back into the shadows of the mug handle.
Next steps
- Clean the mug with a microfiber cloth to remove all fingerprints before the first shot.
- Set your iPhone to "Portrait Mode" for Shot 05 to create a soft background blur.
- Capture at least three exposures for the Hero shot to ensure the blue glaze color is accurate.

What you get
About this skill
Stop guessing which shots you need. This skill creates a complete, professional photography shot list tailored to your specific product, including camera angles, lighting setups, styling suggestions, and prop recommendations. Perfect for e-commerce sellers, product managers, and marketing teams who need consistent, high-converting product imagery.
What it does
- Platform-specific technicals provides exact pixel dimensions and background requirements for Etsy, Amazon, Shopify, and social media.
- Categorized shot list generates a prioritized list of hero shots, detail angles, scale references, and lifestyle setups.
- Custom styling guide recommends specific props, color palettes, and lighting directions based on your brand aesthetic.
- Operational checklists delivers a pre-shoot workflow covering product prep, lighting tests, and post-production consistency.
How it works
- Input product specs by providing your product type, materials, and unique features.
- Define the environment by selecting your target platforms and whether you are using a professional studio or a DIY smartphone setup.
- Establish the vibe by describing your brand colors and desired aesthetic (e.g., minimal, rustic, luxury).
- Execute the plan using the generated shot list and styling notes to ensure no critical angles are missed during the session.
Frameworks & tools
This tool integrates platform requirements for Amazon, Etsy, Shopify, and Instagram/TikTok, providing technical specs for both DSLR/Mirrorless workflows and iOS/Android mobile photography.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
Generic prompts often miss platform-specific compliance rules, like Amazon's pure white background requirement or Etsy's thumbnail cropping behavior. This skill enforces a professional sequence, ensuring you capture scale and texture shots that reduce customer returns, which a simple "give me photo ideas" prompt usually overlooks.
Use cases
- Etsy Shop Launch to ensure all 10 photo slots are used effectively for maximum conversion.
- Amazon FBA Prep to meet strict Main Image requirements while still showing lifestyle context.
- Social Media Content Batching to plan a consistent visual grid for Instagram or TikTok.
- DIY Brand Refresh for founders shooting at home who need professional art direction.
Known limitations
Does not perform image editing or AI generation of actual photos. Requires manual input of brand colors and product dimensions for accurate scale recommendations.
