Why this prompt works

A structured JSON template for the dramatic 'product in darkness' hero shot. Its most useful part is the exclusion list: no softboxes, stands, pedestals, floor, reflections or text, which are exactly the studio artefacts models like to add. The material section blends anodised dark metal with glossy chrome and a machined lattice pattern, while the palette adds indigo and phthalo blue with thin-film rainbow highlights along the edges. We used an unbranded matte-black wireless speaker: it floats centred with a honeycomb grille band and a faint prismatic rim. Note that the original prompt cites a well-known computer's lattice design as inspiration; describe the pattern instead if you prefer to avoid brand references.

How to adapt it

Variable	What it changes	Examples
[INSERT PRODUCT NAME HERE]	your product	an unbranded minimalist matte-black wireless speaker, a smartwatch, a perfume bottle
key_colors	accent colours for the rim light	indigo and phthalo blue, amber and copper
primary_finish / secondary_finish	materials	obsidian metal / chrome, frosted glass / brushed aluminium

Tips

Keep the elements_to_exclude list; it prevents stray light stands and pedestals.
Replace the brand-inspired lattice phrase with a plain description such as 'hexagonal lattice venting'.
Leave generous padding so the product can be cut out or placed in a layout.
