FINFERNO IMAGE DNA v1

PURPOSE AND INPUTS Create a photorealistic Finferno product lifestyle photograph using the attached product packshot and the user's scene brief. Image 1 is the sole authority for the product's identity. Any additional explicitly identified lifestyle reference supplies lighting, composition and atmosphere only; never copy its product or label. If only the packshot is supplied, use the visual rules below. Produce one coherent photograph, not a collage, mood board or advertisement with added copy.

PRIORITIES Preserve the exact product first, make the scene physically believable second, follow the Finferno photographic style third, and satisfy optional decoration last. The scene brief chooses food, action, framing and one scene mode. It does not authorize changes to packaging. Default to WHITE TABLETOP HERO, one closed product, no hands, portrait 4:5 composition.

PRODUCT IDENTITY: KEEP FIXED Match the reference silhouette, proportions, shoulder curves, neck length, glass thickness, base, cap shape and cap color. Preserve the precise sauce color and opacity, fill level, visible seeds, flakes or powder texture. Keep the actual printed label: FINFERNO logo, all product-specific Finnish wording, line breaks, type shapes, white arch outline, banners, flame symbols and their filled/outline pattern, quantity and lower slogan. Do not translate, rewrite, simplify, invent, sharpen into different letters or substitute another product's label. The transparent label lets the product color show through; never replace it with an opaque generic label. Copy the actual reference rather than inferring packaging from the product name.

Keep the front label facing the camera and large enough to read. Preserve realistic tabletop scale: a small condiment bottle or spice jar beside a meal, not a giant bottle. Do not duplicate the product unless the brief explicitly asks. Keep the cap closed unless an action needs it open. For pouring, remove the cap naturally; for seasoning, open the shaker lid with plausible holes and hinge. Do not invent an unseen dispensing mechanism if the supplied references do not establish it; prefer a closed-product scene. Avoid new viewpoints that require inventing the back label.

CORE LOOK: BRIGHT, TACTILE, FOOD-LED Clean, approachable commercial food photography with a restrained Nordic tabletop feel. A bright neutral-white or softly warm off-white matte tabletop and pale backdrop occupy much of the frame. Subtle painted wood grain or fine plaster-like texture is welcome. Background whites retain detail and gentle tonal variation. Warm cooked food and the real product contents provide the main color; fresh herbs and lime add small green accents. Optional muted blue, olive-gray, black or plum ceramic accents remain secondary. Preserve natural food colors, with lively but believable saturation and clean whites.

LIGHT AND MATERIALS Use one dominant directional daylight-like source from a side and above, with gentle fill so the white label stays readable. Give the scene visible directional gray shadows, soft to moderately crisp edges and a convincing contact shadow beneath every grounded object. A broad diagonal sunlit/shaded division on the pale background is optional. Match the light direction across product, food, hands and props. Retain controlled glass reflections, slight refraction through the thick base, matte plastic caps, moist sauce, crisp cooked edges and individual spice particles. Keep highlights away from the main product name. No flat shadowless catalog lighting, extreme dramatic darkness, glossy CGI surfaces or artificial glow.

COMPOSITION AND FOCUS Build around one readable product and one appetizing food arrangement. Use asymmetry: product in the foreground, food beside it or slightly behind, often cropped by a frame edge. Leave purposeful breathing room. For a tabletop hero, use a near-front product view at label height or a little above, with a natural, undistorted perspective. Keep the entire label crisp; let background food become gently softer while staying recognizable. For overhead scenes, lay the closed product on its back with its label upward and a natural diagonal orientation, supported by the table. Use enough depth of field for product and nearby food details. Do not blur everything except a tiny patch of the label.

FOOD AND PROPS Choose one believable pairing: noodles with egg, scallions and herbs; avocado flatbread with sliced egg and lime; browned wings or roasted vegetables; crisp wedges with a small dipping dish. These are styling choices, not claims about ingredients in the product. Use a white bowl, muted stoneware plate, matte blue plate or shallow black dipping bowl. One main dish plus an optional dip is usually sufficient. Food looks freshly prepared and edible, with irregular real texture. A restrained scattering of seasoning, a few sauce drops or a small smear can connect product and food. Match any product spill to the reference contents: fine powder, coarse flakes or thick sauce, with the correct color. Do not scatter every possible ingredient around the product.

HUMAN ACTION, ONLY WHEN REQUESTED Show cropped hands performing one clear action: holding or opening the bottle, seasoning food, preparing to pour or dipping a wing. Keep fingers away from the main label. Use natural anatomy, believable grip, skin texture and gravity. A pour is a small viscous ribbon or drop, not a watery splash; seasoning falls as a modest amount of actual powder or flakes. Hands enter from a frame edge; faces are unnecessary. Restrained rings, a white sleeve or denim can appear if requested. The original shoot's decorative manicure is optional, not a required brand feature.

SCENE MODES: CHOOSE ONE WHITE TABLETOP HERO: default. Upright closed product in the foreground, clear label, one meal behind or beside it, pale background, directional light and visible contact shadows. WHITE OVERHEAD: top-down composition, closed product resting on its back, label upward, a cropped dish entering from an edge, restrained seasoning scatter, pale textured tabletop. Keep product proportions intact. WHITE IN USE: same pale set and light, one hand-led action, readable product, correct closure state and plausible dispensing. If an open-product reference is unavailable, favor holding a closed product or dipping food beside it. OUTDOOR BBQ: use only when explicitly selected. Replace the pale studio set with weathered dark wood, a pale wooden cutting board and charred grilled food behind the upright product. Softly blurred green garden and dark deck tones, a restrained warm sunlight accent, richer contrast, readable front label. Keep this distinct from the white tabletop scene; no flames, smoke effects or fantasy inferno.

EXCLUSIONS No flames, explosions, neon heat effects, flying peppers, giant splashes, levitating products, excessive steam, rustic burlap, busy kitchens, ornamental prop piles, glossy marble luxury sets, fake condensation, waxy food, heavy orange/teal grading, extreme wide-angle distortion, extra bottles, invented label text, captions, badges, borders or watermarks. No cutout halos or inconsistent shadows. Do not change a green sauce into red sauce or a pale powder into orange powder to make the scene more vivid.

FINAL VISUAL TARGET A believable photograph from the same Finferno shoot: exact recognizable product, readable white branding, honest food texture, restrained styling, clear directional light and a simple composition that makes the condiment feel useful and appetizing.
