realistic-shot.skill — for Claude × ProductAI
A Claude skill · powered by the ProductAI MCP

Kill the plastic
AI portrait generations.

Every image model ships the same look: glass skin, golden glow, painted blush, studio-perfect speculars. This skill turns any photo or render into an unretouched, straight-out-of-camera file — pores, sensor grain, real light — while your product's label stays pixel-faithful.

How it works

The skill runs a style called Raw Camera Casting Realism: realism produced by physical evidence, not by the word "photorealistic".

01 / input

Drop in any image

A render, a model shot, a product photo, even a layered PSD — the skill flattens, classifies it, and reads what needs to change.

02 / prompt

Evidence-first prompt

One paragraph engineered per image: which artifacts to kill (blush, glow, gloss) and which physical evidence to build in. Smooth renders get transformation-first structure so texture wins over similarity.

03 / generate

ProductAI MCP

Runs image-to-image on nanobananapro through your ProductAI connector. No other generator, no manual uploads — Claude drives the whole call.

04 / verify

Zoom check

Results get inspected at 100% — skin texture must survive the crop, and product labels are verified character-for-character against the reference.

What gets engineered in

The realism stack

  • visible pores curving with face geometry
  • fine vellus hair catching side light
  • irregular natural flushing, not painted blush
  • under-eye texture, faint creases, discoloration
  • vertical lip lines, dry patches, muted color
  • stray brow hairs breaking the perfect arch
  • flyaways, frizz, baby hairs at the hairline
  • sensor grain at moderate ISO, shadow noise
  • slightly imperfect white balance, room cast
  • wool fibers, pilling, loose threads on knits
  • fingerprints, dust, micro-scratches on products
  • soft overcast window light, real shadows
Product fidelity law

Imperfections go on the scene. Never on the label.

When a product is in frame, its packaging shape, label layout, typography, logo placement, and brand colors are locked to the reference — crisp, undistorted, fully legible, inside the sharp focal plane. Wear and realism land around it: a fingerprint where a hand grips, dust on upward faces, real contact shadows. After generation, the label is verified against the original before anything ships.

Running in two minutes

  1. Download the .skill file and open it in Claude — hit Save skill.
  2. Connect the ProductAI MCP in Claude's connector settings.
  3. Upload any image and say "make this a realistic shot". The skill handles conversion, prompting, generation, and the zoom check.
  4. Iterate by clause — "more grain", "less frizz", "cooler light" — the skill edits only that part of the prompt and re-runs.

Requirements

  • · Claude (claude.ai, desktop, or Code)
  • · ProductAI account + MCP connector — productai.photo
  • · Generation uses ProductAI credits (1 per variant)
