Higgsfield Product Photoshoot

Product Photoshoot

Brand-image generation via the higgsfield product-photoshoot create command. The CLI calls a backend prompt enhancer that holds mode-specific photography vocabulary and structural templates, then submits to gpt_image_2 and returns image URLs.

Step 0 — Bootstrap

Before any other command:

1. If higgsfield is not on $PATH, install it:

   Copy

   curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/higgsfield-ai/cli/main/install.sh | sh

2. If higgsfield account status fails with Session expired / Not authenticated, ask the user to run higgsfield auth login (interactive) and wait for confirmation.

UX Rules

1. Be concise. Print only image URLs in the final reply.

2. Detect language, respond in it. Mode names and CLI flags stay English.

3. Ask at most 4 short questions before submitting. Use labeled options, never open-ended.

4. Skip questions whose answer is obvious from context (uploaded image, prior turn, brand memory).

5. Never write the gpt_image_2 prompt yourself — backend assembles it.

6. Polling is silent. Wait until URLs are ready, then deliver.

Modes

Mode selection

Pick by intent, not surface keyword. When two modes could apply, prefer the more specific one.

• product + neutral / clean / white / studio / catalog / Shopify → product_shot

• product + scene / in use / kitchen / outdoor / cafe / gym → lifestyle_scene

• hands holding / face with product / beauty application / demonstrating → closeup_product_with_person

• Pinterest, pin, vertical pin → moodboard_pin

• hero, banner, website header, landing page, email header, wide format → hero_banner

• carousel, slide post, multi-slide, swipeable → social_carousel

• ads, ad pack, paid social, Meta / TikTok / Pinterest ads → ad_creative_pack

• model wearing, virtual try-on, on body, fashion shoot, lookbook → virtual_model_tryout

• levitating, floating, splash, frozen motion, surreal, CGI, sculptural → conceptual_product

• modify EXISTING image's aesthetic, mood, season — without changing subject → restyle

Tie-breakers:

• "Pinterest pin of my product on a kitchen counter" → moodboard_pin (Pinterest is the platform)

• "Hero banner showing my product in use" → hero_banner (banner format wins)

• "Carousel of my product in different scenes" → social_carousel (multi-slide wins)

• "Closeup of person applying my serum" → closeup_product_with_person (specific genre wins)

Pre-generation interview

Ask 3–4 short questions before submitting. Always labeled options, never open-ended. Skip a question whose answer is obvious from context.

Type A — uploaded a product photo, "make me images / photoshoots"

1. How many? [1 / 3 / 5]

2. What style/mood? [Clean studio / Lifestyle / Conceptual / With a model / Other]

3. Where will you use them? [Shopify / Instagram / Pinterest / Paid ads / Website hero]

4. Brand colors to match? (skip if obvious)

Type B — uploaded a product photo, named a use case

E.g. "make ads for my product", "make a Pinterest pin", "make a hero banner". Mode is obvious. Ask only the gaps:

1. How many? (if multi-output mode)

2. What's the offer / mood / hook?

3. Anything in particular to emphasize?

Type C — text only, no product photo

1. Can you upload a product photo? (preferred — much higher fidelity)

2. If not, describe the product — category, packaging, color, distinctive features.

3. What style? (same options as Type A)

4. Where will you use it?

Type D — uploaded existing image, "redo / change vibe / different version"

→ restyle

1. What aesthetic? [Clean girl / Cottagecore / Quiet luxury / Dark academia / Y2K / Other]

2. Seasonal context? [Christmas / Valentine's / Halloween / Black Friday / None]

3. What to preserve, what to change? (only if ambiguous)

Type E — model wearing a product (fashion, accessories)

→ virtual_model_tryout

1. Model archetype? (suggest 2–3 based on brand audience)

2. Environment? [Studio clean / Outdoor natural / Street style / Editorial / Home cozy]

3. Framing? [Full body / Three-quarter / Waist up / Closeup on product area]

Type F — vague request, unclear subject

E.g. "make me something cool for my brand".

1. What product or topic?

2. Goal? [Sell on a marketplace / Build awareness / Run paid ads / Update website]

3. Upload a reference image?

After answers → return to the relevant Type A–E.

Generation

Single command. Backend assembles the final prompt and submits to gpt_image_2. URLs print on stdout.

higgsfield product-photoshoot create \
  --mode <mode> \
  --prompt "<short user-intent description from interview answers>" \
  [--image <path-or-upload-id>]... \
  [--count <1-10>] \
  [--aspect_ratio <override>]

Examples:

higgsfield product-photoshoot create \
  --mode lifestyle_scene \
  --prompt "bottle of cold-brew on a sunlit kitchen counter, IG feed" \
  --image bottle.jpg \
  --count 3

higgsfield product-photoshoot create \
  --mode moodboard_pin \
  --prompt "vertical pin for my candle brand, cottagecore mood" \
  --image candle.jpg

higgsfield product-photoshoot create \
  --mode restyle \
  --prompt "Christmas version, quiet-luxury aesthetic" \
  --image existing-shot.jpg

Image inputs

--image accepts a local file path (auto-uploaded) OR an existing upload UUID. Repeat the flag for multiple references.

Multi-variant

--count 3 returns 3 distinct image URLs. Backend asks the enhancer to vary preset, lighting, angle, and palette across variants — they will not be paraphrased copies of one another.

For social_carousel and ad_creative_pack, count = number of slides / variants in the pack. Backend locks the visual system across all slides automatically.

Aspect ratio

Backend picks a sensible default per mode. Override with --aspect_ratio only if the user explicitly asks for a different one. Allowed values: 1:1, 4:5, 5:4, 3:4, 4:3, 2:3, 3:2, 9:16, 16:9.

Resolution

Use 2k for every product-photoshoot job.

Delivering results

Print the image URLs as a short bulleted list. No JSON, no IDs, no internal model names, no enhanced prompt text. If a job failed, mention it briefly with the failure status.

What this skill does NOT do

• Does not write gpt_image_2 prompts directly. Backend owns prompt assembly.

• Does not auto-pick a different image-gen model. Always gpt_image_2.

• Does not replace higgsfield-generate Marketing Studio for branded video / avatar workflows.

• Does not replace higgsfield-generate for raw text-to-image without a product or brand context.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Asking more than 4 interview questions in a single message.

• Picking the wrong mode (e.g. product_shot when the user wants a Pinterest pin).

• Calling higgsfield generate create gpt_image_2 --prompt ... directly instead of higgsfield product-photoshoot create — bypasses the prompt enhancer and produces noticeably worse output.

• Pasting the assembled prompt back to the user — they want the URLs.

• Using a --mode value not in the table above.
