What you will get

An overhead flat lay of your sunglasses on a sand-textured surface with a linen scarf, a seashell, the corner of a straw hat, sharp sunlight shadows and empty space at the top for text.

Why it works

Flat lays work through arrangement and light. The prompt sets a summer story with sand, linen, a shell and a hat, and leaves text space for an ad. The strip of sunlight and graphic shadows give the photo depth and a real-world feel, which is what separates lifestyle shots from plain product cutouts.

Common mistake

The shadows are soft, so it looks like a render.

Fix: Ask for a low, hard light, as the tip says. Crisp shadows make a flat lay look photographed.

Also watch for

The props crowd the sunglasses. Ask for props only at the edges and the sunglasses alone in the centre.
A brand logo appears on the arms. Ask for plain arms with no logo or text.

Try a variation: lens reflection

Ask for the lenses to reflect a bright beach and sky, which shows the sunglasses in use without a model.

Still not right? Reply with this

Keep the layout, make the sunlight lower and harder so the shadows are sharp, move the props to the edges and remove any logo from the sunglasses.
