What you will get

A magazine-quality catalogue photo of one piece of furniture in a bright minimal room, with a plaster wall, a side table and vase, soft window light, a muted palette and clear material detail.

Why it works

Catalogue photos have to show what a piece is really like, so the prompt asks for a straight-on angle, soft diffused light and sharp fabric and wood grain. A plaster wall, a small side table and a vase add a lived-in touch without competing. Naming the materials, as the tip says, matters because oak, linen and metal each catch light differently and tell the buyer what they are paying for.

Common mistake

The furniture has odd proportions.

Fix: Describe the shape, such as slim wooden legs and a rounded back, and check where the legs meet the seat.

Also watch for

Fabric looks plasticky. Name the material and weave, such as a loose linen weave, as the tip says, and ask for gentle creases.
The room is cluttered. Say “one vase, one table, nothing else” so the product stays the focus.

Try a variation: make a lifestyle version

Ask for the same piece in a lived-in room with a throw, a book and a cup on the table, still in soft natural light.
