Realistic Shot — a Claude skill for ProductAI
A Claude skill · powered by the ProductAI MCP
Kill the plastic<br>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.
// prompt suffix: "no changes to the product design whatsoever."

Connect the ProductAI MCP in Claude's connector settings.
Upload any image and say "make this a realistic shot". The skill handles conversion, prompting, generation, and the zoom check.
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)
