Thank you for using interest in my work, it means a lot 🙏🏽❤️

A good prompt is a structured creative brief: you specify what, where, the vibe, the lighting, the colors, and the framing.

1) The Core Structure (recommended order)

1. Medium (final output)
   • photo, cinematic still, 3D render, illustration, watercolor, etc.
2. Subject (the main thing + key defining detail)
   • who/what + critical attributes (material, shape, outfit, age, style, etc.)
3. Environment / Setting (where it happens)
   • location, era, props, context
4. Mood (emotion)
   • tense, dreamy, luxury, gritty, calm, surreal, etc.
5. Lighting (how it’s lit)
   • type + direction + intensity (soft diffused, hard rim, golden hour, neon, etc.)
6. Colors (palette)
   • 2–4 dominant colors, saturation, contrast
7. Composition (framing)
   • angle, shot size (wide / medium / close-up), depth of field, symmetry, composition rules

2) Word Order = Priority Order

• What you write first is treated as most important.
• Put your non-negotiables up front (medium / subject / framing).
• Then add vibe, details, finishing touches.
