With the latest V5 release of Midjourney, product prototyping and validation have become significantly faster. The platform effortlessly produces stunning product images right out of the gate.
An essential aspect to focus on in product photography is the selection of shots.
To achieve a more authentic look in your images, avoid using terms like "photorealistic, photorealism, realistic photo", as they tend to give the product a digitized appearance - quite the paradox, isn't it?
Instead, terms like “Studio Lighting, Product Photography” can be more effective. Here are some perspectives to consider for product photography:

Leverage Midjourney's extensive toolkit to unleash boundless creative possibilities. Here's a straightforward guide to crafting the product you envision:
The precision in prompt weights and the order of prompts play a crucial role in adding text to your product.
Often, the desired text doesn't appear in the first attempt, necessitating multiple rerolls.
[Name of the product] [prompt weight] [type of the product] > text product photo, [shot type] [background], [other prompts], spell text correctly and clear
Rolex :: 1 watch Rolex > text product photo, black background front view, it is made of gold and contains diamond, watch for men, spell text correctly and clear --v 5
Gucci :: 1 designer Bag Gucci > text product photo, close up, a majestic background 3d by Salma Aboukar, trending on aestheticism, wallpaper, made of flowers, feminine, high detailed, close up, spell text correctly and clear
Occasionally, when incorporating text in Midjourney, background prompts may not function as intended.
You might end up with either a cluttered background and legible text, or the opposite. To navigate this, here’s a tip:
Despite specifying prompts like "white background, --no background," the output might still include a background.
In such cases, opt for an image with the least complex background and accurate text. This image should serve as the foundation for your subsequent prompts.
Once you've got your product design, you can use the 'vary region' tool.
Just click on the area around your product, and it will change only the background for you. Keep changing it as many times as you want until it looks just right.
