Brand Photo Studio
PaidWhat it is
Human-realistic photos and graphics for a brand, in batches, saved to the Brand Kit (Dee's product, Sep 24 2026; members need 10 to 60 images per brand for websites, books, lead magnets, and social). Its own product (one-home law): the public door is /brand-photos, the member studio is /brand-photos/studio (My Photos in My Products, /my-stuff/brand-photos, walks there), and the Brand Kit's Photos and Graphics shelves only DISPLAY what was saved, with a Generate photos door on each shelf that opens the studio with that brand selected (Photos opens the Generate lane, Graphics opens the Stock lane). Two lanes. GENERATE: the member types or dictates a description (the one dictation mic in the studio), picks a style (photorealistic photo, lifestyle photo, product shot, illustration, or flat graphic; the engine prompt adapts per style), a shape (square 1:1, wide 16:9, tall 9:16, landscape 4:3, portrait 3:4), a batch of 10 or 15, and a Use my brand toggle (on by default) that reads the brand's voice and palette from the brand row, its tagline from the resolved brand profile, and its audience and what-we-do from the linked Org Design Cheat Sheet (the AEP is the source of truth), confirms (no price shown, per the July 23 law), and the batch runs on the platform's image engine (the premium Gemini image model in chunks of four, or the Ideogram / Flux / OpenAI / Stability fallback chain when no Gemini key is set), each image made durable in the platform's storage. The result grid has per-image Save to Photos, Save to Graphics, Download, and Discard, plus Save all to Photos and Save all to Graphics. STOCK: a search box over Pexels, Unsplash, and Openverse (commercial-use filter) with the shape select; every result shows the photographer (linked) and the source, and has Save to Photos and Save to Graphics. A Saved-to-this-brand strip at the bottom shows the latest images on the two shelves with a door to the Brand Kit. METERING (Dee's law): a batch is charged quietly BEFORE the engine runs (brandPhotoBatch10 or brandPhotoBatch15, bundle rates stepping down from the per-image premium price like premiumImageBatch4), every image that fails inside the batch refunds its pro rata share of the bundle, a batch that returns nothing refunds in full, a short balance answers with the top-up door, and admins never meter. Saving a generated image is free (the batch paid). Saving a stock photo meters once per photo (brandPhotoStockSave, a licensed-use record) and refunds if the save fails; searching stock is free. Generated saves carry source AI_GENERATED with the style, shape, and batch in meta; stock saves carry source STOCK with the photographer, profile link, provider, and a ready attribution line in meta so the credit travels with the file (Pexels and Unsplash terms; Unsplash's download endpoint is pinged on save). Honesty laws coded into the prompt: no real person's likeness, no real logos or trademarks, no prices, statistics, testimonials, or claims in the image, no words unless the member asked for a graphic with exact words. Phase one uses free stock only; Adobe Stock is a later license decision and is never promised.
What it is for
getting the dozens of on-brand, human-realistic photos and graphics a website, a book, a lead magnet, or a social calendar needs, without a photo shoot
How to use it
In the Brand Photo Studio at /brand-photos/studio, pick a brand, describe the picture (type or dictate), choose a style, a shape, and 10 or 15 images, keep Use my brand on to pull the brand's voice, audience, and colors from your executive portfolio, confirm, and save the keepers to the Brand Kit's Photos or Graphics shelf (uses credits; images that fail are refunded on their own). The Stock photos lane searches Pexels, Unsplash, and Openverse with the photographer's credit; saving a stock photo uses credits once per photo, searching is free.
