Prompt
Use the uploaded photo as the reference for the product. Preserve its exact shape, proportions, label text, logo placement and colours; do not redesign, relabel or recolour it. Check the result against the reference. Scene: a warm, tidy kitchen counter corner in an Indian city apartment, with plants, a wooden surface and soft textiles in the background. Moment: an adult's hands are pouring from the bottle into a glass with the product, caught mid-use; the face is out of frame, the product faces the camera so the label shows. Clothing: plain relaxed home clothes in neutral tones, sleeves visible only. Light: late-afternoon sunlight through a window, warm and soft, gentle shadows. Camera: 35mm, f/2.2, product sharp, background softly blurred, candid documentary framing. Style: authentic lifestyle photography, not staged-looking, true colours. Format: vertical 4:5. Avoid: extra fingers or distorted hands, changed product shape or label, visible faces, brand logos on other items, text, watermarks.

For example: kitchen counter corner.
