What you will get

Your product on a glossy black or white surface with a soft mirror reflection under it, a smooth gradient background and gentle highlights, like an advert shot in a studio.

Why it works

A mirror reflection on a glossy surface is a classic premium product look, so the prompt asks for it along with a subtle gradient background. Choosing a black or white surface sets the mood: dramatic or clean. Soft studio light with gentle highlights shows the product’s shape. Keeping the product exactly as it is protects your real packaging.

Common mistake

The reflection is a perfect copy and looks fake.

Fix: Ask for “a fading reflection, strongest at the base and gone by a third of the way down”.

Also watch for

The edges of the product glow oddly. Say “clean edges, no halo, no outer glow”, and start from a product photo with a clear outline.
The background gradient is banded. Ask for “smooth gradient, no banding”, and export at the highest size available.

Try a variation: add a coloured backdrop

Ask for the same shot with a deep navy or burgundy gradient and the reflection kept, to match the brand colour.

Still not right? Reply with this

Keep the surface. Lower the reflection strength and add one thin highlight along the left edge of the product.
