Wheel throwing
- Single shot
- Model included
- Portrait 4:5
A process photograph can help a customer understand the work behind a ceramic piece. The wheel, clay, and finished mug connect an unfinished form with the kind of item a maker sells, making the scene useful for workshop content or a shop's story page. It suits wheel-thrown pottery and relevant craft demonstrations. Upload a photograph of your product to ChatGPT and describe the genuine technique used to make it; choose a different working action if your item is not wheel-thrown.
Describe your handmade piece in a few words. Still attach your product photo in ChatGPT.
Create one photorealistic professional fashion or product campaign photograph. Use supplied product reference image(s), if available. Choose an adult model appropriate to the brief; if a model identity reference is supplied, match that person. Models may vary between entries. Use the supplied product as the source of truth for its design, color, cut, fit, material, texture, pattern, construction, hardware and any existing visible branding. Replace the reference model's outfit or accessories with the supplied product as needed; the identity reference does not determine the outfit. Sector: Handmade and Crafts. Hero product: the product shown in the attached product reference(s). Setting: Sunny ceramics studio. Pose or activity: Maker's hands shape clay on the wheel beside the finished piece. Camera: Eye-level oblique. Framing: Hands and product. Lighting: Soft north light. Product priority: Show the real handmade texture, colour variation and craftsmanship. Keep handmade imperfections visible and true to the supplied piece. Brand/art direction: Refined, realistic commercial photography. Supporting styling: Minimal supporting styling that complements the supplied product. Composition/aspect ratio: Portrait 4:5. Keep the hero product clearly readable, naturally fitted or held, with realistic scale, folds, contact shadows and anatomy. Use discreet supporting styling only when needed; never obscure or replace the hero product. Render the stated location and lighting coherently. Preserve natural skin and material texture. No invented branding, extra products, duplicated limbs, captions, watermarks or excessive retouching. When a full-body view is requested, include the entire head and feet with breathing room. Keep every person anatomically natural.
Attach your product photo before you paste the prompt. A plain background and even light give the most accurate result.
How to use this prompt
- Photograph your handmade piece. Use a plain background and soft, even light. A phone photo is fine if it's sharp.
- Open ChatGPT and attach the photo. Use a model that can create images.
- Paste the prompt and send it. You get one finished photo.
- Fix details in the same chat. If something changed, reply with what to keep, for example: “Keep the label exactly as in my photo.”
