Create an appetizing food-photography concept
Set the dish, garnish, surface and light in a food-photography brief.
What to provide
- A permitted subject description. This example was generated from text only, without a reference image.
Example Recorded test output
Input
Create a square photorealistic food image of one ceramic bowl of roasted pumpkin soup topped with a small cream swirl and pumpkin seeds on a warm wood table. Use a three-quarter overhead view, broad soft window light from the left and believable soup texture. Add one folded cream napkin and one plain spoon beside the bowl, both fully visible. Keep the garnish restrained, food geometry coherent and color natural. No people, words, logos, steam effects or watermark. This is generated food imagery, not a photograph of a prepared meal or a nutrition claim.
Output
The bowl, soup texture, cream swirl, seeds and full spoon are clear under soft side light. The napkin extends partly beyond the frame, despite the requested full outline.

Tool settings
