Product imagery decides conversion more than almost any other asset. AI has made high-quality scenes affordable, but the input photo still has to be clean.
Shoot clean, then generate
Use a plain background, diffused window light and a tripod. AI can replace the scene convincingly, but it cannot recover blur, glare or a crushed shadow.
Build a scene set
Generate one hero shot, two lifestyle scenes and a detail crop per product. Consistency across the catalogue matters more than variety per item.
Keep the product honest
Never let generation alter colour, texture or proportions. Misleading images drive returns and destroy reviews.
Cinematic video from stills
Motion tools can turn approved stills into short cinematic clips for ads, giving you a full campaign from a single afternoon's shoot.
