UnShoot Studio

Inspiration

Fashion and e-commerce Sellers generally need a product shoot, a model, polished campaign images and product listing images before a single product can go live on the marketplaces or their e-commerce stores. The process is expensive, slow, involves hiring a model, planning a photoshoot and editing the images, this feels like a lot of hand-offs between teams.

With the advance in AI powered Generative Models this can be done at a fraction of the cost of the traditional way that involves photoshoots, which helps the sellers save their time and go to the market faster

What it does

UnShoot Studio is a workspace for turning raw product images into e-commerce product listing ready and ad ready creatives without PhotoShoots

• Upload the product images or extract them from unclean images without shooting new images
• Build / Create AI powered reusable models
• Select Products, models, locations and light conditions
• Generate Multiple Photoshoot variations from a campaign concept or a meta prompt

How I built it

I used Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind for application, used firebase for auth, database, storage for image assets.

used nano banana for image generation

Challenges I ran into

• I started a bit late almost less than 12 hours before and started thinking about what Idea I should work and build on , it as hard to debug multiple issues in a short time frame and i was almost ready to give up after few facing bugs
• Keeping a product visually consistent and placing it naturally on the model is harder than simply overlaying 2 images, I had to add reference aware prompting and pose guidance so they look good.
• firebase was a bit buggy with Next.js, things did not work as expected at times

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• I created an end-to-end workflow execution from product upload to reusable product listing and ad campaign assets.
• Meta-Prompts let users work from concepts, automatically from brief, direct instructions.
• Happy that i am submitting a product that has scope to be a micro-SaaS after I was almost about to give up.
• The product, model, photoshoot make the experience feel like real creative rather than one off generator

What we learned

• The best AI experience gives users control over the brief while still reducing repetitive production work.
• Structured outputs make AI features easier to connect to product workflows and be consistent
• sometimes we have to understand the workflow to get the better output

What's next for UnShoot Studio

• Add direct Shopify and Amazon integrations
• Introduce approval, revision, and collaboration flows for creative teams.
• Add stronger product-background removal, mask editing, and fit/placement controls.
• Track asset performance so teams can learn which creative directions convert best.
• Expand image-quality evaluation, brand-style presets, and batch campaign generation for larger catalogs.
• May be add ability to generate video ads for products and product videos also with models in the library
• May be add more Image / Video generation features and integrate with Ad platforms to turn this into a revenue boosting tool
