AI Product Photography: Skip the Photoshoot

Professional product photography traditionally requires a photographer, studio space, lighting equipment, props, and post-production editing. A single product shoot can cost $500-2,000+ and take days to complete. AI image generation is changing this equation dramatically.

With the right AI models and workflow, you can produce studio-quality product images in minutes at a fraction of the cost. Here's how to do it effectively.

Which AI Models Work Best for Products

Not all AI models handle product photography equally. For photorealistic product shots, Flux is the standout performer — it renders materials, lighting, and reflections with remarkable accuracy. GPT Image is excellent when you need product images with text elements like labels or packaging.

On AyeCreate, you can switch between these models per generation, using Flux for hero shots and GPT Image for packaging mockups — all with the same credits.

Step-by-Step: Creating Product Images

Follow this workflow for consistent, professional results:

• Start with a clear product description: material, color, shape, size reference
• Specify the scene: clean white background, lifestyle setting, or contextual placement
• Add lighting direction: soft studio lighting, natural window light, dramatic side lighting
• Include camera angle: flat lay, 45-degree, eye-level, close-up detail
• Generate multiple variations and select the best compositions
• Use AyeCreate's upscaler for print-ready resolution

StylePacks for Brand Consistency

One of the biggest challenges in product photography is maintaining a consistent look across your entire catalog. Different shooting sessions, different photographers, different lighting — it all creates inconsistency.

StylePacks solve this by locking in the exact aesthetic — lighting style, background, color grading, and composition — so every product image looks like it belongs in the same catalog. Create or find a StylePack that matches your brand aesthetic and apply it across all your product generations.

Post-Processing in AyeCreate

After generating your product images, use AyeCreate's built-in tools to refine them:

• Background removal for clean cutouts on any background
• AI upscaling for high-resolution files suitable for print and large displays
• Image enhancement for final color and quality adjustments

Cost Comparison

A traditional product photoshoot for 10 products runs $500-2,000+. The same 10 products on AyeCreate costs a fraction of that in credits — often under $5. Even accounting for multiple generations to get the perfect shot, the savings are massive.

For e-commerce sellers, Amazon FBA businesses, and small brands, AI product photography isn't just a convenience — it's a competitive advantage. You can test new product concepts, create seasonal variations, and build your entire catalog without booking a single studio session.

When to Still Use Traditional Photography

AI product photography works best for: new product concepts, catalog expansion, seasonal variations, social media content, and A/B testing different presentations. For products where customers need to see exact textures, sizes, or details (like luxury goods or food), traditional photography still has an edge — though the gap narrows every month.
