English translation:photographing your "muses"(the type of person that inpsired your concept)
Explanation:
"muses" here is the idea of the typical man or woman you have taken as your inspiration for your product. But it is one thing to have an image of this person in your mind and another to take photos or pick photos from image banks because you may end up projecting very specific images, which in turn may influence shoppers (positively or negatively). If you are outside the above categories, you may feel the product is not for you...

So what they are saying is that it is dangerous to put an image to a product without running the risk of driving some potential clients away
