The full prompt
matte green tea can with minimal Japanese typography, suspended mid-air with floating tea leaves and frozen condensation droplets, soft top-down studio light, low contrast, centered composition with bottom third negative space, glass refraction and water droplet detail, ultra sharp edges, clean white background, commercial product photography, no extra text --ar 4:5 --v 6 --s 250
Structure breakdown
The cleverest move here is using floating leaves and condensation to imply "ice cold and crisp". The viewer brain fills in the temperature. "Bottom third negative space" reserves real copy area at the bottom of the frame.

frosted glass serum bottle with golden dropper cap, suspended mid-air with scattered rose petals and small water droplets, soft side studio light from the left, low contrast, centered composition with bottom third negative space, glass refraction and dewy detail, ultra sharp edges, blush pink seamless background, commercial product photography, no extra text --ar 4:5 --v 6 --s 300
Tea can to serum bottle, leaves to rose petals, white background to blush pink. Three swaps, no structural change.
brushed titanium smartwatch suspended mid-air, soft micro reflections, single hard light from above-left, matte black background with faint vertical gradient, centered composition with 80% negative space, sub-millimeter brushed grain visible, ultra sharp edges, cinematic dark color grading --ar 16:9 --v 6 --s 400
Dark luxury read: single hard light, deep background, 80% negative space, sub-millimeter texture, --s 400 for added drama.
glossy chocolate croissant suspended mid-air with cascading molten chocolate, golden flaky layers with visible butter sheen, soft warm side light from the right, shallow depth of field, centered composition with right third negative space, rich brown and cream palette, food magazine cover style --ar 4:5 --v 6 --s 250
Food advertising reads warm + plump highlights + one flowing action (cascading). Negative space moves to the right for a headline slot.
Common pitfalls
Most models invent gibberish English. Always add "no extra text" or Midjourney --no text.
Without an explicit background, the model adds leaves, water, city dusk. Specify "clean white background" or similar.
"Soft + warm + rim + golden hour" produces a confused image. One key light, optionally one fill.
"With negative space" is too soft. Specify "bottom third negative space" or "right third for headline".
It is not. Pick minimal (white/gray/clean) or material-heavy (dark/single light/close-up).
"Premium material" does nothing. Use "brushed titanium / frosted glass / matte ceramic".

Where this skeleton fits
This skeleton handles single-product, clean-background commercial shots: beverages, cosmetics, electronics, luxury goods, food, fragrances. For apparel, switch to a flatlay skeleton. For large appliances or furniture, switch to a contextual interior skeleton with natural light.
