BrandStills guides

Product photo ideas by scene

Each of these pages covers one ready-made scene from the app: what the setup actually is, which products it flatters, and where the finished photo tends to get used. Treat them as starting points, not a menu. You can just as easily describe any scene you imagine in your own words, or paste an inspiration photo, and the app builds that instead, with your product kept exact.
