Why it works
Lifestyle shots sell by showing the product in someone's life, so the prompt names a setting, a light source and a few props instead of leaving the scene to chance. Hands in frame add a human touch without a face to get wrong. Placing the product on a third, with a shallow depth of field, keeps the eye on it while the background tells the story.
