10 prompts · Etsy sellers, print shops, creative marketplaces
Most image prompts fail because they describe a subject and stop. These describe the subject, the light, the lens, the palette and the frame — the same brief you would hand a photographer.
Ten fully art-directed image prompts for Midjourney, DALL·E, Flux and Nano Banana. Each one names the subject, lighting setup, lens, colour palette and aspect ratio, so the first render is usable instead of the fifteenth. Swap the bracketed subject and the whole look holds together as a series.
