Create a luxury studio product photograph of a [insert product type: e.g., perfume bottle, skincare item, watch, or jewelry] and Place it perfectly centered on a thin round gold disk sitting on a cool grey marble slab.
Shoot at eye level, straight-on, with slight perspective control so verticals are true.
Background: distant city skyline at sunset, silhouettes softly blurred; the sun sits just off to the right of the bottle, producing strong backlight that makes the liquid glow and adds crisp rim highlights to the glass.
Composition is symmetrical and minimal, bottle occupying the middle third, reflection visible on the gold disk and faintly on the marble. Camera & lens: full-frame body with a 100mm macro (or 85mm prime).
Settings: f/4, 1/160s, ISO 100. Use a circular polarizer to tame surface glare while keeping some specular lines.
Lighting: natural golden-hour sun as key from behind; large white bounce card front-left as fill (about 1 to 1.5 stops under key); small black flags on both sides to sculpt edge contrast; thin diffusion sheet behind the bottle base to smooth the sun hotspot; subtle warm kicker from the right to enhance the bottle shoulder.
Keep depth of field shallow so the skyline melts into creamy bokeh while the front label plane and glass edges are tack sharp.
Color grading: rich honey/orange midtones, deep but clean blacks, gentle S-curve contrast, soft vignette; preserve highlight bloom around the sun; keep marble slightly cool for warm–cool separation.
Post: remove dust, enhance micro-contrast on glass edges, selective dodge on the liquid core, subtle glow/halation around backlit areas, maintain natural reflections.
Deliver a high-res, editorial luxury look.
