BRAND NAME]
Act as a macro product photographer and textile art director shooting a close-up editorial of a premium embroidered garment. Reference: Loro Piana, Brunello Cucinelli, A.P.C., Japanese boro textile documentation.
PHASE 0. BRAND LOGO INTELLIGENCE:
Recall the canonical logotype of [BRAND NAME] and translate its essential geometry into embroidery-native form: sharp shapes become satin-stitch bars and needle spikes, circular elements become dense satin ovals or French knot clusters, complex letterforms simplify to their core strokes while staying recognizable. Choose the thread color most iconic to [BRAND NAME] as the primary thread. If no dominant color exists, default to deep navy #1A2332.
PHASE 1. BACKGROUND:
Premium waffle-knit cotton fabric. Precise orthogonal grid of raised 2x2mm flat-topped square cells separated by thin recessed channels running horizontally and vertically. Cold off-white #F0F0EE to #EBEBEA, slight cool gray bias, never warm cream. Uniform machine-precision weave, fine cotton fuzz catching diffused overhead light on the flat node tops, recessed channels in soft (not deep) shadow.
PHASE 2. EMBROIDERY:
Logo of [BRAND NAME] rendered in real embroidery. Satin stitch fills all stroke elements with dense parallel threads, zero gap, glossy directional sheen following the long axis of each stroke. Stem stitch for curved linear elements. French knots for dot elements, visible spiral wind at macro distance. Tapering needle-spike forms in satin stitch narrowing to a razor-sharp single-thread tip. Every embroidered element shows a thin 1-2 thread-width backing edge of base fabric, slightly lighter than the main thread, outlining each form. Embroidery sits 1-3mm above the fabric, symmetrical soft shadow halo 1-2mm around its perimeter, consistent with flat overhead light, not raked.
PHASE 3. THREAD:
Mercerized cotton or silk embroidery thread, high sheen. Color is never flat, luminous on lit zones, deeper and more saturated in shadow, all within one unified color family. Backing/underlay thread 2-3 shades lighter than the primary.
PHASE 4. CAMERA:
Canon EOS R5 or Nikon Z8 full frame, 45MP+. Canon RF 100mm f/2.8L Macro or Nikon Z MC 105mm f/2.8. Focus distance 40-55cm, embroidery fills 30-40% of frame height with generous fabric surround. Aperture f/8 to f/11, deep DOF, every fabric fiber sharp corner to corner, no bokeh. 1/200s, ISO 100, WB 5600K. Slight ETTR exposure, off-white fabric near-luminous, thread reads as rich dark against it. 4:5 portrait. Camera perfectly perpendicular to fabric plane, zero perspective distortion.
PHASE 5. LIGHTING:
Single large diffused overhead softbox (~120x120cm) directly above the fabric at 60-80cm, light coming from 85-90 degrees to the surface. Flat, directionless, no hot spots. 1-2mm soft micro-shadows in waffle recesses. Symmetrical halo under the embroidery. No fill, no rim, no accent, just the one overhead source. Mood: clinical, precise, bright, textile-editorial.
PHASE 6. TECH:
Octane or Redshift with real geometric thread strands (not normal maps) casting real shadows on neighbors. Waffle weave as real displacement mesh. Ray tracing on for micro-shadows. Subtle subsurface scattering on the thread material. Physically accurate DOF. Max anti-aliasing, 2048+ samples, zero noise in shadows. Final feel: indistinguishable from a real Canon 100mm macro shot in a textile documentation studio, viewer wants to reach out and touch the fabric.
