Arya

Compare how each direction shows the glaze, rim and handle. Side light can describe surface and form; the overhead view emphasizes shape and the linen arrangement. Check both against the actual mug before choosing.

Your follow-up

Which image should stay in both directions?

Arya

Keep a clear view that lets the client judge the mug’s true shape and glaze. Treat styling as a choice around the product, rather than a reason to hide a required detail.

Condense the scope into two client-facing sentences. Retain the shoot duration, editing, all six views and the status of the direction boards.

Original excerpt

Suggested revision

What could that revision look like?

The scope includes a two-hour studio shoot plus editing for six reviewed photographs: front, side, handle, rim, ruler scale and lifestyle. Direction boards are planning concepts, not additional final photographs.

Questions about Gab AI for photographers

How can I turn a client brief into a product photography shot list?

Provide the product, image count, required angles, studio time and delivery requirements. Ask Work to map each frame to its setup and review check. The ceramic brief requires front, side, handle, rim, ruler scale and lifestyle views. Boards are concepts, not extra final photos; price, delivery and revisions still need agreement.

Can I prepare a shoot-planning workbook in Work?

Supply the client brief, confirmed locations, deliverables and available time. Ask for shot groups, capture checks, permission questions and delivery requirements in a workbook. The example action prepares a draft.

Are the ceramic direction boards finished product photographs?

No. They are curated visual planning concepts. The brief calls for six real edited photographs of the supplied mug; two direction boards do not add two deliverables or demonstrate retouching. Check the actual mug shape, glaze, focus, scale and client-approved framing during the shoot.

Can Gab AI help explore a restrained portrait edit?

Provide a portrait you have permission to use and a clear editing brief. Describe the change and what must stay intact. Inspect the delivered image against the original for identity, skin texture, edges and unintended changes before showing it to the client.

Can I start in Chat, or do I need Work?

Use Chat for questions and text drafts. Choose Work when you want a project with tools and editable files. Work requires Plus and uses credits; see Pricing for plans and allowances. Opening a draft does not send it or attach the example files.
