- ecommerce product photography shot list prompt
A larger gallery is not automatically a better gallery. This prompt makes every requested photograph earn its place by resolving a specific uncertainty.
Create a production-ready image shot list using only the supplied verified
product facts, buyer questions and existing-image inventory.
Start with a compliant main-image brief, then add only views that answer a
distinct buying question: dimensions or scale, fit, material texture,
controls, included parts, packaging, use context, care or variant difference.
For every shot specify purpose, composition, required product variant, props,
background, orientation, crop-safe area and the claim it supports.
Return three sections: must shoot, useful if budget allows, and existing image
to retain. Identify unsupported claims and ask for proof rather than staging
them. Do not add decorative lifestyle scenes that answer no buyer question.
Product facts: [FACTS]
Buyer evidence: [QUESTIONS]
Existing images: [INVENTORY]What to change
Everything in square brackets is yours to replace. Nothing else needs editing.

[QUESTIONS]- Real support, review, sales or search questions and objections.
[INVENTORY]- A list of current images, their angles and known quality issues.
How to run it
- 01Gather real questions
Use support tickets, reviews and sales conversations rather than invented personas.
- 02Map current coverage
Label which question each existing image already answers.
- 03Brief the missing proof
Give the photographer a variant-specific list with purpose and crop needs.
Questions people ask
How many product images should a page have?
There is no useful universal number. Keep the clear identifying view, then add images only when each one resolves a genuine buyer question or shows an important product detail.
