✨The Future of Product Photography

I hate to be the one to say this, but the future of product photography is AI tools like Qreates.

Here me out.

In a traditional product photography scenario you are limited to the amount of scenes you can play around with.

But With AI you’re only limitation is your mind.

Qreates allows you to generate photorealistic product shots in any scene without mucking up the logo or text!

Simply:

1. Upload your product image

2. Select reference image or upload your own

3. Describe your vibe + roll dice for prompt

For example:

Your product can now be “scene” in any background you like (you see what I did there).

Want to try it out? Check out this thread with the founder giving away free credits or go to https://qreates.com
