# Ads Photoshoot: AI Product Photography

Transforms a product image or description into professional ad-ready photography
in 5 distinct visual styles. Each style generates at two sizes: 1:1 (Meta/LinkedIn)
and 9:16 (TikTok/Reels/Stories).

## Quick Reference

| Command | What it does |
|---------|-------------|
| `/ads photoshoot` | Interactive: ask for product + styles |
| `/ads photoshoot --styles studio floating` | Generate only selected styles |
| `/ads photoshoot --product shoe.jpg` | Start with a product image file |
| `/ads photoshoot --all-platforms` | Generate all 5 sizes per style |

## Environment Setup

Requires banana-claude (v1.4.1+) with nanobanana-mcp configured.
Run `/banana setup` to configure API key and MCP.

## Process

### Step 1: Collect Product Information

Ask (combine into one message):
1. **Product image**: Path to product image file (local) OR product URL OR text description
   > "Provide a product image path (e.g. ./product.jpg), a URL, or describe your product"
2. **Product description**: What is it? Key features to highlight? (helps prompt quality)
3. **Styles to generate**: Which of the 5 styles? (default: all 5)
   - Studio, Floating, Ingredient, In Use, Lifestyle
4. **Target platforms**: Which platforms will these run on?
   - Determines output sizes (default: Meta + TikTok → 1:1 + 9:16)

### Step 2: Load Brand Profile (Optional)

Check for `brand-profile.json` in the current directory.

If found, extract for style injection:
- `colors.primary` → inject into backgrounds and accent elements
- `aesthetic.mood_keywords` → inject as atmosphere descriptors
- `target_audience` → use for Lifestyle and In Use context
- `imagery.forbidden` → exclude from all prompts

If not found, proceed with standard style templates.

### Step 3: Verify banana-claude

Verify banana-claude is installed (run `/banana setup` to check). If not installed,
display setup instructions and exit.

### Step 4: Construct Prompts per Style

For each selected style, build the prompt using the template + product description + brand DNA.
