What's inside

Two guides: the method that keeps the product exact, and 15 Kenyan scenes to paste.

Guide 01 · Anatomy9 pp.

Keep the product exact

The 6-layer prompt anatomy that transplants your product into a new scene — no melted logos, no reshuffled beadwork, no “close enough.”

Guide 02 · Scenes15 prompts

A Kenyan scene bank

Copy-paste briefs for Kilimani, Westlands, Karen and the coast — real places, materials and light, so nothing reads like a Copenhagen loft.

Both guidesfix-its

Fix-its + build-your-own

Kill drift, bad reflections and wrong aspect ratios — plus a reusable skeleton and a Claude skill that writes the six prompt layers from one sentence.

§ 01

How it keeps the product exact

Every guide prompt is six stacked layers. The top layer locks your product — beadwork, logo, label — as a photographic asset; the layers beneath rebuild the world around it. That's why the product stays exact while the scene turns unmistakably Kenyan.
