AI Product Photography

Product photography is one of the most expensive and time-consuming parts of running an e-commerce business. A single product photo shoot costs $200-2,000+ for studio rental, photographer, lighting setup, props, and post-production. Seasonal campaigns multiply that cost. Variant images for different markets multiply it again.

AI product photography changes this equation entirely. Apefx offers Bria Product Shot — a specialized AI model that takes your product and places it into any scene you describe, with pixel-perfect integration that matches lighting, perspective, and shadows. Generate hundreds of product images for the cost of one traditional photo shoot.

How Bria Product Shot Works

Upload your product image: A simple product photo on a white or plain background works best
Describe the scene: “Kitchen counter with morning sunlight, fresh herbs in the background, marble surface”
Generate: The AI places your product into the described scene, matching lighting, reflections, and perspective
Iterate: Try different scenes, angles, and settings. Each generation costs just 8 credits (~$0.08)

What Makes Bria Product Shot Special

Product preservation: Your actual product is preserved with pixel-level accuracy — it’s not reimagined or altered
Lighting matching: The AI adjusts reflections, shadows, and ambient lighting to match the scene
Perspective alignment: The product is placed at a natural angle relative to the scene
Scene variety: Generate the same product in unlimited different settings

Use Cases for E-commerce

Lifestyle Product Shots

Place your product in real-world contexts: a skincare bottle on a bathroom vanity, headphones on a desk setup, a water bottle at a hiking trail. Lifestyle shots dramatically increase conversion rates compared to plain white-background images.

Seasonal & Campaign Images

Generate holiday-themed product images (Christmas setting, summer beach, autumn leaves) without re-shooting. Update your entire product catalog for each season in minutes instead of weeks.

A/B Testing

Generate multiple versions of the same product image with different backgrounds, lighting, and arrangements. A/B test which images convert best without the cost of multiple photo shoots.

Marketplace Listings

Amazon, Shopify, Etsy, and other platforms reward high-quality product imagery with better rankings and higher conversion. AI product photography lets even bootstrapped sellers compete with professional imagery.

Cost Comparison

Approach	Cost per Image	10 Products × 5 Shots	Turnaround
Professional studio	$50-200	$2,500-10,000	1-2 weeks
Freelance photographer	$25-100	$1,250-5,000	3-7 days
DIY photography	$5-20 (time)	$250-1,000 (time value)	1-3 days
Apefx (Bria Product Shot)	$0.08	$4.00	Minutes

For a 10-product catalog with 5 variations each, AI product photography costs $4 total compared to $2,500+ for professional studios. Even accounting for a $12/month subscription, the ROI is extraordinary.

Step-by-Step Workflow

Step 1: Prepare Your Product Image

Take a clean photo of your product on a white or neutral background. Natural lighting or basic studio lighting works fine — the AI handles the rest. Remove any background clutter. A smartphone photo is sufficient.

Step 2: Upload to Apefx

Upload your product image to the editor and select the Bria Product Shot model.

Step 3: Describe the Target Scene

Write a detailed description of where you want your product placed. Include:

Surface: “Marble countertop,” “wooden table,” “glass shelf”
Setting: “Modern kitchen,” “outdoor garden,” “minimalist studio”
Lighting: “Warm morning light,” “studio lighting,” “golden hour”
Props: “Fresh flowers,” “coffee cup,” “decorative elements”
Mood: “Clean and premium,” “cozy and inviting,” “vibrant and energetic”

Step 4: Generate & Compare

Generate multiple variations and compare. At 8 credits each, you can affordably test 10-20 different scenes per product.

Step 5: Upscale & Export

Upscale to 4K+ for catalog-quality output. Download and upload to your e-commerce platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does AI product photography look realistic?

Yes. Bria Product Shot is specifically trained for product placement and handles lighting, reflections, and shadows realistically. The result is professional-quality product imagery suitable for e-commerce, marketing, and social media.

Will my product be accurately represented?

Bria Product Shot preserves your actual product image with pixel-level accuracy. The product itself is not regenerated — only the surrounding scene is created by AI. This ensures accurate representation of your product’s appearance.

How much does AI product photography cost?

8 credits per image (~$0.08). The free tier provides enough for 6 product shots/month. The Creator plan ($12/mo, 500 credits) supports 62 product shots/month. See pricing.

What product categories work best?

AI product photography works well for most product categories: cosmetics, food & beverage, electronics, fashion accessories, home goods, and packaged products. Products with complex reflections (jewelry, glass) may need slight prompt adjustments for optimal results.

Can I generate product images for Amazon listings?

Yes. Generate both white-background images (required for Amazon main images) and lifestyle images (recommended for secondary images). Amazon rewards listings with high-quality secondary images with better rankings. Read our detailed AI product photography guide.
