Product photos with a phone

Catalog quality from a window and paper

Your AI coaches you through marketplace-ready product photos the way a product photographer would: a six-shot list, a window-light setup with paper and card, locked phone settings, angles by material and an edit that keeps colors true.

By Vander Labs. Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and Claude Code.

What your AI learns

  • Plans six shots per product including the scale shot buyers rely on
  • Sets up indirect window light with a paper sweep and bounce cards
  • Locks phone settings and edits for true color and the right crop

How it works

  1. Product and destination: Size, material and shininess, plus the marketplace's current image rules.
  2. Shot list: Hero, three-quarter, detail, scale, in-use and packaging, with extras for flat or labeled items.
  3. Setup: Indirect window light, room lights off, a curved paper sweep, white bounce and black card for shape.
  4. Difficult materials: Shiny, glass, dark and white products each get their own card and exposure approach.
  5. Phone settings: 2x or 3x lens, locked focus and exposure, beauty and HDR off, timer and a steady support.
  6. Angles: Camera at product height for the hero, 30 to 45 degrees for three-quarter, level top-down for flats.
  7. Editing: White balance from a reference, clean white background, small contrast, straighten, crop to ratio, sync across the set.
  8. Export and naming: sRGB JPEG at the destination's size, named by SKU and angle.

Limits and safety

  • Edits never shift the product's color beyond what it looks like in daylight; misleading photos cause returns.
  • Checks the destination's current image guidelines rather than assuming them.
