Describe the visual decisions that matter: subject, composition, light, and finish. The steps below are a starting framework: use them to make one clear decision at a time, then review the actual output.
Begin with the subject
Name the person, object, or place first. “A red glass bottle on a stone plinth” establishes more than a stack of mood words. Add the setting only after the central subject is clear.
Set the composition
Say whether the view is close, wide, overhead, or at eye level. Place the subject in the frame if the layout matters. Negative space can make an image more useful for a cover or page hero because it leaves room for type.
Describe the light
Light changes the shape of an image. Try “soft window light from the left” or “hard late-afternoon sun casting a long shadow” before adding broad words such as dramatic or beautiful.
Specify materials and color
Choose a few important textures and a restrained palette: glazed ceramic, rough travertine, deep blue wall, red flower. Too many unrelated materials can weaken the direction.
Keep a reusable base prompt
When you see a promising result, save its subject, framing, and light. Then change one detail at a time. Choose the model and aspect ratio that fit your destination; the studio lists supported controls and any final credit quote.
