These are 24 complete, paste-ready image prompts for Krea 1 — Krea's flagship image model, built for photographic realism, crisp textures, and commercial product shots without the usual "AI look." Each one reads like a creative director's brief: subject, set, explicit studio lighting, a real lens, surface, and mood, written in plain natural language. Krea uses no --parameters; model and aspect ratio are app settings, so each prompt ends with a Settings line telling you what to pick.

Skincare & beauty

Skincare and cosmetics sell on texture, glass, and clean light. These four prompts lean on soft diffusion, macro detail, and dewy droplets. Add a photo of your real bottle as an Image Reference so the shape and label stay true.

1. Minimalist Serum Bottle on Travertine

A frosted-glass serum dropper bottle standing on a smooth beige travertine stone slab, photographed as a premium skincare hero shot. Three-point softbox lighting with a large overhead key, soft fill, and a subtle rim light separating the bottle from the background, gentle contact shadow beneath. A single sprig of eucalyptus rests out of focus in the foreground. Neutral warm-taupe gradient sweep background, calm clinical-luxury mood. Shot on 85mm f/2.8 macro, shallow depth of field, crisp reflections on the glass, subtle film grain.

Settings: Krea 1 · 4:5 · high detail. Best for: premium skincare hero shots where the travertine and soft rim light read as an expensive studio session.

5. Fresh Coffee Pour With Steam

A rustic ceramic mug of black coffee on a weathered walnut table, mid-pour from a steaming pour-over kettle, wisps of visible steam rising into the light. Backlit with warm golden-hour light from a low window on the right, a hard rim light catching the steam against a dark moody background. Cozy artisanal café mood. Shot on 50mm f/1.8, shallow depth of field, warm amber tones, subtle film grain.

Sophisticated speakeasy mood. Shot on 85mm f/2.8 macro, shallow depth of field, subtle film grain.

7. Gourmet Burger Macro

A gourmet double cheeseburger with melted cheddar, fresh lettuce, and a toasted brioche bun, photographed at a low 15-degree hero angle on a matte black plate. Soft directional key light from the upper left with a warm fill, a subtle rim light glinting off the glossy bun. A little steam and a few sesame seeds add life.

17. Sneaker Flat-Lay With Accessories

A top-down flat-lay of a pair of clean white sneakers surrounded by coordinated accessories — a folded denim jacket, sunglasses, a watch, and a phone — arranged neatly on a concrete grey backdrop.

Shot on 50mm, everything in sharp focus, negative space for text, subtle film grain.

Floating & hero shots

Marketplaces want clean, isolated products; hero banners want drama. These four prompts cover pure white e-commerce cutouts, floating shots with motion, and a gradient-sweep hero. When a shot is print-bound, run the final frame through Krea's Enhancer and Upscaler (up to 22K) for crisp, print-grade output — see the photorealism prompts for more on getting textures this sharp.

21. Floating Sneaker White Background

A single running sneaker floating in mid-air at a dynamic three-quarter angle, laces trailing slightly as if frozen in motion, on a pure white seamless background (hex #FFFFFF). Bright, even three-point softbox lighting with no harsh shadows, a soft drop shadow directly beneath to ground it. Clean, energetic, premium-athletic e-commerce mood. Shot on 85mm f/2.8 macro, sharp focus across the shoe.

Settings: Krea 1 · 1:1 · high detail. Best for: product-detail pages with energy — the float and trailing laces add motion while pure white keeps it marketplace-ready.

22. Bottle E-Commerce White Background

A single product bottle centered on a pure white seamless background (hex #FFFFFF), photographed straight-on for a clean e-commerce listing. Soft, even three-point softbox lighting, no harsh shadows, a subtle contact shadow and a faint natural reflection beneath the bottle. Neutral, crisp, catalog-standard mood. Shot on 85mm f/2.8 macro, tack-sharp, accurate colour. Keep the bottle shape and label exactly as in the attached reference images.

Settings: Krea 1 · 1:1 · high detail. Best for: marketplace listings — pure white, even light, and a subtle contact shadow are exactly what stores require; the reference line keeps your product accurate. Upscale with the Enhancer for print catalogs.

23. Floating Headphones Splash

A pair of over-ear headphones floating in mid-air with a dynamic splash of translucent blue water swirling around them, frozen mid-motion, on a clean light-grey gradient sweep background. Bright three-point softbox lighting with a crisp rim light, high shutter to freeze every droplet, subtle reflection below. Bold, energetic, premium-audio hero mood. Shot on 85mm f/2.8 macro, sharp focus on the headphones.

Settings: Krea 1 · 16:9 · high detail. Best for: hero banners and ads — the frozen splash adds drama and motion a flat white cutout can't deliver.

24. Perfume Bottle Gradient Sweep Hero

A faceted glass perfume bottle with amber liquid, floating just above a glossy acrylic surface with a mirror reflection below, on a warm peach-to-cream gradient sweep background. A single hard key with a gridded reflector from the upper left casts a crisp specular highlight down the facets, a soft rim light glows along the edges, deep controlled shadows to one side. Dreamy, warm, luxury-fragrance mood. Shot on 85mm f/2.8 macro, shallow depth of field, shot on medium-format with subtle film grain.

Settings: Krea 1 · 4:5 · high detail. Best for: fragrance and luxury hero shots — the gradient sweep, acrylic mirror, and faceted highlight are the signature high-end campaign look. Enhance to 22K for large print or trade-show banners.

Once a shot is about 80% right, don't start over — use Krea's editing tools to change only what's wrong while keeping the pose, lighting, and background the same, for example forcing the background to pure white.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which studio-lighting words actually work in Krea prompts?

Krea 1 responds to real photographic lighting language, so name the setup exactly. Three-point softbox lighting gives clean, even product light with a key, fill, and hair light. A single hard key with a gridded reflector gives dramatic chiaroscuro and crisp specular highlights. Add rim light or edge light to separate the product from the background, contact shadow or drop shadow to ground it, and gradient sweep background for the classic studio falloff. Pair the light with a lens like 85mm f/2.8 macro and a mood word, and Krea renders the whole scene the way a real photographer would light it.

How do I get a pure white or seamless background?

Ask for it explicitly. Write pure white seamless background (hex #FFFFFF) or a smooth gradient sweep background from white to light grey, then add soft, even three-point softbox lighting with no harsh shadows and a subtle contact shadow or gentle reflection under the product. State the aspect ratio your store needs — most marketplaces want 1:1 — as an app setting. If a stray tone creeps in, regenerate with the background instruction moved to the front of the prompt, or run the shot through Krea's editing tools and keep everything the same while forcing the background to pure white.

How do I keep a real product consistent across shots?

Use Krea's reference features. Add your actual product photos as a Style Reference or Image Reference so the shape, colour, and label carry across every shot, and for a recurring product or brand look you can Train a custom style on a set of your own images and call it in each prompt. Give it 3 to 5 clean photos from different angles, then write a prompt that describes only the scene, lighting, camera, and mood while telling it to keep the product exactly as in the reference. Change only the background or lighting between shots to build a consistent series.

How do I get glossy reflections and clean shadows?

Name the surface and the shadow. For reflections, say glossy acrylic surface with mirror reflection or dark polished marble with a soft reflection below, and add one crisp specular highlight so glass and metal read as premium instead of dull. For shadows, be specific: a subtle contact shadow grounds a product on white, a soft drop shadow adds depth, and deep controlled shadows suit low-key luxury shots. Krea 1 renders these physically, so the reflection and shadow match the light direction you described.

What aspect ratios should I use for e-commerce?

Aspect ratio is an app setting in Krea, not a prompt parameter, so pick it in the interface. Use 1:1 for marketplace listings and Instagram grid, 4:5 for portrait feed posts and catalog pages, 16:9 for website hero banners and wide displays, 9:16 for Reels, Stories, and TikTok, and 3:2 for classic editorial layouts. Shoot the same product across a couple of ratios so you have a square listing image and a portrait social crop from one session.

How do I upscale Krea shots for print?

Run the final image through Krea's Enhancer and Upscaler, which can take a product shot up to 22K resolution while adding crisp texture rather than smearing it. Generate the composition at your normal resolution, pick the best frame, then enhance it for print catalogs, packaging mockups, trade-show banners, and large retina hero images. Because the enhancer sharpens fine detail, it pairs well with prompts that already call for macro texture, water droplets, or fabric grain.

Why write full sentences instead of comma-separated tags?

Krea 1 is built for photographic realism and reads natural-language prompts best, so describe the shot like a creative director's brief — subject, set, lighting, lens, surface, and mood in full sentences. There are no --parameters to memorise; aspect ratio and model are app settings, and everything else lives in the sentence. Tag soup gives the model less to reason about and tends to produce the generic AI look Krea is designed to avoid. Every prompt on this page is written that way, so paste it as-is and swap in your product name.
