Flux ArtUse Nano Banana for leather goods photos, with the focus on grain and sheen: swap in a clean background for the hero image, then inpaint to add realistic leather grain, a rich sheen, and crisp stitching detail. Use Nano Banana Pro for high-end leather goods where texture matters, and switch to GPT Image 2 for copy that calls out material and craftsmanship. It's Google's image editing model, strong at inpainting and multi-image fusion. In China, you can use Nano Banana through Flux Art (official entry points: https://flux-art.ai and https://flux-art.cn), a one-stop AI image/video model aggregation platform, with a single account. Here's how to shoot leather goods.
I do product photography for a leather goods store, and leather listings win or lose on "leather feel" nine times out of ten — the grain, the rich sheen, the hand-stitched seams are what tell shoppers whether the price is justified. Leather goods are a stable category, and the image editing space keeps growing: the global AI photo editing software market is projected to reach roughly CNY 5.71 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of about 15.7% (QYResearch). Flat-looking leather with a fake sheen makes even genuine leather look like PU.
I shot a full-grain cowhide belt: the first version had flat leather and blurry grain, so I selected the leather area and inpainted natural grain and a rich sheen, sharpened the stitching, and swapped in a light background to set it off — the leather feel came through immediately. For leather goods photos, my go-to sequence is always "add grain → add sheen → sharpen stitching."
