Three key takeaways
- 01
Truthful images only: never show a product, dish or result you don't deliver.
- 02
Real reference photos keep your actual product accurate.
- 03
Add final text (especially Arabic) yourself in a design tool.
How to do it Step by step.
- 1
Write a brand guide
A short Brand Creative Kit: colours, photo style, tone of voice, and what to never do.
- 2
Brief the image
Subject, setting, style and light, layout (space for a headline), size (4:5 feed, 9:16 Reels, 1.91:1 Google) and what to avoid.
- 3
Upload a real reference
Give the image tool a real photo so your actual product, dish or space stays accurate.
- 4
Improve one change at a time
"Make the light warmer", "leave space at the top for a headline".
- 5
Check before you publish
Hands, text, cultural fit and truthfulness. Add final text in a design tool and follow each platform's disclosure rules.

- 02Fix: regenerate using the real dish photo as reference
- 03Never show what you don't sell: it misleads customers and breaks trust
