Tips for Better Photography Prompts
Name the exact style or medium up front — e.g. "Photography photography" or "Photography illustration" — so the AI locks onto the right visual language.
Reference a known aesthetic (cinematic, editorial, minimalist) alongside Photography to steer the model toward a specific mood.
Layer in lighting details like "soft diffused light" or "dramatic side light" to give Photography prompts more depth and realism.
Add composition cues — camera angle, framing, and background — to keep Photography results consistent across a shoot or series.
