Cinematic Product Hero Shot
A hero shot lives or dies on lighting, and this prompt specifies a full three-part setup: rim light for edges, softbox for form, and a wet reflective surface for drama. The condensation detail sells freshness without saying the word. Adaptation idea: replace the bottle with any beverage, cosmetic or gadget and keep the entire lighting paragraph untouched.
The prompt
Hero product photograph of a glass bottle of sparkling elderflower soda standing on a wet black slate surface, dramatic droplets of condensation on the glass, a thin slice of lime resting against the base. Lighting: cool blue rim light from behind tracing both edges of the bottle, large warm softbox from front-left revealing the label, moody dark background with a soft gradient. Mist drifting low across the surface, mirror-like reflection under the bottle. Shot at 100mm macro, razor sharp focus on the label, luxury beverage advertising style, 4K commercial quality.
