AI Image Prompts: A Practical Guide

Well‑structured prompts produce more consistent, photoreal results. Think like a photographer: define the subject, scene, lens, lighting, composition, and mood. Then add style cues sparingly. Below are patterns you can adapt in Clipvo.

Prompt Anatomy

• Subject and action: “ceramic coffee mug, steaming”
• Environment: “wooden table, window light”
• Composition: “wide shot, centered subject, negative space”
• Optics: “35mm, shallow depth of field, f/2.8”
• Style and mood: “editorial, soft, natural”

Examples

“wide shot of a ceramic coffee mug on a wooden table near a window, morning light, soft shadows, 35mm, natural editorial style”

“exterior of a modern two‑story house, front yard, golden hour, 24mm, architectural photography, natural colors”

“studio product photo of running shoes, light grey sweep, softbox lighting, crisp highlights, 50mm, minimal style”

Tips

• Avoid tight crops; aim for generous framing and clean negative space.
• Use concrete nouns and camera terms; avoid vague adjectives like “beautiful”.
• Iterate with small changes rather than rewriting from scratch.
• For people, include age range, ethnicity optional, and attire; keep respectful and non‑exploitative.
