Midjourney for Product Mockups: Shoot Around the Hands

I needed a hero image of an app on a phone for a landing page. Midjourney nailed the lighting and mood; it cannot paint hands. So I composed the shot so no hands hold the phone.

Prompt with the limitation in mind: 'phone resting on a desk, soft window light, no people.' The absence of a hand is invisible. The vibe carries the mock.

For variants, lock the seed and change only the background. That keeps the product consistent across the set instead of regenerating chaos.

Use it for mood and hero art, then composite the real UI screenshot on top in an editor. The generator sets the scene; your product stays real.
