FAQ

Candle photo ideas: questions

Should the candle be lit in my reference photo?

Either works. An unlit, clean photo with the label straight on is the easiest reference, and the prompts add the flame and the glow. If you shoot it lit, make sure the flame does not wash out the label.

Do AI candle photos need to show the real size?

Yes. Books, cups and hands tell shoppers how big a candle is, so keep the vessel at its real proportions and the wax color and label unchanged. A candle that looks larger in the photo than it is when it arrives is a common reason for returns.

How do I make a candle photo feel cozy?

Use the flame as the main light, warm low tones, soft textures like knits and wood, and a few seasonal props. Dark scenes make the glow stand out; daylight scenes are better for showing the label.
