Photography Prompt Template
Use Cases
- Suitable for Photography AI image generation workflows, with reusable structure for fast iteration.
- Best for portrait, fashion, and social campaign imagery.
Notes
- Replace placeholders (such as
[OBJECT]and{variable}) with concrete subjects and contexts. - Keep core constraints first (composition, lighting, lens, materials), then add style modifiers gradually.
- If results become noisy, reduce prompt density and reintroduce key elements step by step.
