Prompting tips

  • Be specific — Define subject, environment, and style in detail. Example: “A vintage car parked on a sunny street with a dog, shot in a retro photography style.”
  • Use multiple references — Upload images of your subject, background, and product together for consistent outputs.
  • Guide mood and style — Add descriptors like “cinematic lighting”, “flat lay”, or “ink illustration” to shape composition.
  • Use 4K mode for final work — Select 4K mode for print-ready visuals or large-scale campaigns. Use 2K for drafts.

Example prompts

A red “Glaze Cherry” cosmetic bottle placed on top of two shiny fresh cherries, with a pink and white gradient background. Bold red text saying “New” is displayed on the bottle. The scene should reflect beauty product photography, glossy surfaces, and ultra-realistic lighting.
A close-up portrait of a teenage boy with curly dark hair and freckles, wearing a navy tracksuit jacket, standing in front of a yellow wall. Looking intensely into the camera with a serious expression, in a candid street photography style with natural emotion.
A Black person leans on a city overpass railing, gazing seriously at the camera. They wear a sharp white shirt with a tie and a skirt. The urban setting below features a road with passing cars, contrasting the subject’s poised and editorial stance.
