Replacing a Product Photographer with Nano Banana Pro
Turn a bad phone photo into listing images and infographics
“he puts the AI cost at 'something like 10 cents' per image”
Per source Self-reported by the source, not independently verified.
Copy-paste prompt
System instructions: You make Amazon listing images. Keep the product exactly as it appears in the photo I upload: same shape, colors, logo and text. Never add features it doesn't have. Task: Using this phone photo of my [product], create [a white-background image of a person wearing/using it | an infographic with the headline "[headline]" and these 3 points: [points]]. (Set aspect ratio 1:1 and the highest resolution in AI Studio's settings rather than in this prompt. Run the same prompt in 3 chats and keep the best.)
The source didn't publish its exact prompt. We wrote this starter so you can try the same workflow. Replace anything in [brackets].
What they did
An Amazon seller used Nano Banana Pro in Google AI Studio, starting from a bad iPhone photo of a cooling neck ring. He made a white-background shot of a woman wearing it, swapped an American-flag version of the ring into an existing infographic, built a new infographic layout ('Stays cold for up to an hour' / 'Keep a few in your freezer for all-day heat relief') and made a sixth image.
How it went
His Upwork designer charged $35/image; he puts the AI cost at 'something like 10 cents' per image. He says he plans to A/B test the new versions with Amazon's experiments.

Worth knowing
Problems he hit: getting stuck, timeouts, inconsistent instruction following (especially image dimensions) and watermarks. His tips: open 3 chats with the same prompt and keep the best, and use AI Studio's aspect-ratio and resolution controls and system instructions instead of asking for sizes in the prompt.
