# MACRO MATERIAL STORY
Best for: cosmetics, packaging, watches, electronics, jewellery, premium accessories - not every product.
Use the uploaded reference as the exact product. Create an **eight-frame macro study** of material, construction, and design in a clean **4×2 grid**. Make the viewer feel the material - invent no surface details, redesigns, or color/logo/proportion changes.
### FRAMES
**1 - SURFACE** 100mm macro, f/5.6, parallel to surface, grazing side light - authentic texture.
**2 - EDGE** Extreme close-up of edge/structural transition. 100mm, f/8, narrow rear strip light.
**3 - TYPOGRAPHY** Existing label/print only - no new lettering. 90–100mm macro, f/5.6, soft frontal + subtle side.
**4 - REFLECTION** Controlled softbox reflection into the surface. 85mm, f/8.
**5 - SHADOW** Abstract hard-spotlight shadow composition; product still identifiable. 85mm, f/5.6.
**6 - MATERIAL MEET** Where two real materials meet. 100mm macro, f/8, dual opposite strip lights.
**7 - MICRO DETAIL** Extreme macro of the most distinctive authentic detail. 100mm, f/2.8, grazing light.
**8 - MACRO HERO** Larger product portion, unusually close. 90mm macro, f/4, soft directional key + subtle rim.
### GRID
Exactly 4×2. Progress: material → structure → type → reflection → shadow → construction → micro → macro hero. No borders, captions, watermarks, or duplicate-looking frames.Negative prompt

How to use this AI photo prompt
- Upload a clear reference photo of your face (well-lit, front-facing works best).
- Fill any placeholders on this page, then tap Copy Prompt.

Identity-preserving image-to-image prompts need a strong face reference. Avoid heavy beauty filters on the upload and use the negative prompt when your tool supports it.
Tips for better product photography results
- Match the example aspect ratio when your tool allows it (often 4:5 for portraits).
- If the face drifts, re-upload a sharper photo and keep the same prompt text.
- Copy related product photography prompts below to try alternate looks with the same identity lock.
