AI Image Prompt Guide
A simple method for writing stronger image prompts with subject, composition, lighting, lens, materials, and mood.
A reliable prompt structure
A strong prompt tells the model what should be visible and what should change. Keep the description concrete, avoid conflicting instructions, and prioritize the details that matter most to the result.
- Define the subject precisely
- Choose a composition
- Describe lighting direction and quality
- Add lens or perspective
- Finish with materials and atmosphere
Example
Portrait of a red fox in a misty pine forest, eye-level composition, 85mm lens, soft overcast backlight, detailed fur, subtle fog layers, natural color, photorealistic.
How to improve the result
Generate a first version, inspect what changed unexpectedly, then revise only the relevant part of the prompt. For multi-scene video, repeat the identity, wardrobe, prop, and environment anchors that must remain unchanged.
