# Camera Angle Variation
Listings want front, three-quarter, side, back, top and detail. Most sellers have one photo. Generating the rest is the highest-value product photo workflow there is — and the one with the clearest failure mode.
**Any angle that reveals a surface your references don't show will be invented.** The model doesn't know what the back looks like, so it makes one up, and it will be wrong.
## Two routes
**`edit_image` camera angle adjustment** — modest reframing of the same shot. Good for small shifts, cheaper in composition terms because it preserves the scene.
**Reference-based generation** — supply reference images covering the product, then generate a new view. Necessary for anything beyond a small shift.
```
generate_image(
model="flux-2-pro",
reference_images=[FRONT, SIDE, BACK, TOP],
prompt="The same product, three-quarter view from the upper left, "
"on pure white, soft even studio light, neutral white "
"balance. Product unchanged — same label, shape and colour.",
aspect_ratio="1:1",
seed=8812
)
```
`reference_images` accepts **up to 4 for images**. For angle work, use all four and choose them to cover the faces.
## What's recoverable from what
| You have | Reliably generate | Risky | Invented |
|---|---|---|---|
| Front only | Slight rotation, tighter/wider crop | Three-quarter | Side, back, top |
| Front + back | Both, plus slight rotations | Three-quarter | True side, top |
| Front + side | Three-quarter betwee
