AI PHOTO CREATION & AI PRODUCT SHOOT GUIDELINES

Studio-Grade Visual Engineering

This document sets clear expectations so our team—and our award-winning filmmaker/photographer—can deliver the strongest possible output using a hybrid approach of AI generation + professional visual artistry.

1. What Talkerstein Studio Actually Offers

Talkerstein Studio is not “just prompting.”

It is a creative-director-led, AI-augmented photography pipeline, combining:

  • Nano-Banana AI for image generation with advanced lighting, depth, texture realism

  • Professional art direction -Award-winning filmmaker/photographer oversight

  • Manual editing, color grading, composition correction, and realism enhancement

This ensures images are not “AI-ish,” but visually intentional, brand-aligned, and technically polished.

However: AI generation—especially using Nano-Banana—has technical constraints. This sheet ensures you understand exactly what you will receive.

2. Requirements From the Client
Reference Images (Mandatory for Realistic or Brand-Specific Results)

To create images based on your product, people, packaging, talent, or environment, we require:

Minimum Image Specs:

  • Resolution: 2048px or higher (minimum 2MB file size)

  • Lighting: Even, clear lighting—no backlit, noisy, blurry, or dark photos

  • Framing: Full object or full subject visible

  • Format: PNG or high-quality JPEG

  • Angles: Ideally 3–5 angles per product or subject

Why

Nano-Banana models learn from what you give. Poor-quality inputs → inaccurate outputs.
High-quality inputs = dramatically higher realism, consistency, and detail.
If you cannot provide this, we can still generate images but they will not match your real product 1:1.

We also need you to provide as many reference images as best as you can, so we can have more data to utilize. The lesser the quantity and quality of the reference images are, the lesser it would be closer to match your real product (or real person) 1:1.

3. What AI Can and Cannot Do (Realistic Expectations)
We can:

  • Create studio-grade product images (beauty, fashion, objects, food, packaging)

  • Place your product into high-end environments (lifestyle, editorial, luxury interiors)

  • Produce consistent lighting and premium editorial looks

  • Generate multiple set design variations at a fraction of traditional cost

  • Simulate materials like glass, chrome, textiles, etc. (with limits—see below)

  • Produce photorealistic human models for general use (not likeness-specific)

We cannot:

  • Guarantee 100% accurate reproduction of tiny textures, stitching, or micro-detail

  • Perfectly reproduce proprietary patterns/logos from low-res files

  • Guarantee the same “face” across many poses without references

  • Show exact product color when lighting varies (we manually correct this)

  • Generate images legally identical to real people without consent images

  • Produce anatomically perfect hands/fingers 100% of the time (we fix manually)

  • Get more than 3 accurate faces (real people from your demands) at the same photo.

Nano-Banana Technical Constraints to Be Aware Of:
(Generalized based on current model architecture limitations as of writing)

  • Best output range is 2048×2048 (higher requires upscaling + manual refinement)

  • Fine text on products (5pt–8pt) may distort unless provided as vector or high-res image

  • Reflective objects (mirror chrome, gold) sometimes require manual post-fix

  • Multi-object scenes may require compositing due to depth inconsistency

  • Extreme realism (Vogue-tier editorial) requires hand-edits and retouching, not purely AI

  • We incorporate all the above into the workflow to ensure final quality

4. Delivery Expectations
Standard Output (per batch/project):

  • 5–15 base variations (AI-generated, curated)

  • 3–7 final selects retouched by the filmmaker/photographer

  • Resolution: 2048×2048 to 4096×4096 (depending on final usage)

  • File Types: JPG, PNG (TIFF on request)

  • Turnaround: 3–15 business days depending on complexity

  • 5–15 base variations (AI-generated, curated)

  • 3–7 final selects retouched by the filmmaker/photographer

  • Resolution: 2048×2048 to 4096×4096 (depending on final usage)

  • File Types: JPG, PNG (TIFF on request)

  • Turnaround: 3–15 business days depending on complexity

  • Turnaround: 3–15 business days depending on complexity

What’s “Base” vs “Final”:

  • Base images: Raw generative outputs (not all will be perfect)

  • Finals: Manually corrected, color-graded, realistic, brand-polished visuals We always stay realistic and have a base output quality and try our best to have maximum standard in final selects.

  1. Revision Policy
Standard Output (per batch/project):

To maintain workflow efficiency:

  • 1 minor revision round is included per selected final image

  • Large conceptual changes require new generation cycles

  • If references were low-quality, realism-based revisions may be limited

    We will always guide you honestly.
