Product Photography from Raw Ingredients

INPUT ::= [PRODUCT] + [ITS_KEY_INPUT] STEP_1 :: infer the constituent - the single ingredient, material, or input the brand is proudest of - its natural form: grain, leaf, fibre, bean, thread, pigment, ore - how it behaves in bulk - does it pour, stack, tangle, drift, compact STEP_2 :: infer the reconstruction - the product's exact silhouette rebuilt entirely from that material - the technique holding it together: packed, woven, stacked, carved, suspended - where the material's nature fights the intended shape - that tension is the photograph - the edges must resolve into the product from six feet away STEP_3 :: infer the proof of process - some raw material left loose at the base, still unformed - the transition zone where ingredient visibly becomes product - honest evidence that hands built this, not software STEP_4 :: infer the ground - neutral seamless, or the material's own environment: soil, mill floor, water - one raking source revealing every grain, fibre, and edge - no props competing with the material for attention STEP_5 :: render spec - macro-capable detail - individual grains and fibres fully resolved - silhouette unmistakable, texture genuinely surprising - forbidden: digital scatter that reads as generated, perfect symmetry - a few pieces fallen away at the base; gravity respected
