The craft behind a great generative image

Strong prompts read like direction, not search terms. Here's how to write them.

The best prompts describe a scene the way a director would: subject, setting, light, and mood. Specificity gives the model something to hold on to.

Iterate in small steps. Change one variable at a time — the lighting, then the angle — so you learn what each adjustment does.

Save the prompts that work. Over time you build a personal library that makes every new image faster to reach.
