The prompt library
Start with a specific visual decision: a clean product shot, a portrait with character, or a campaign with room for copy. Adapt these original briefs to your subject and image model.
These are original writing examples, not tested model outputs. The studio displays sample references only. Reference-based edits require your own image in a provider’s editor.
12 prompts to explore
Products · 1:1
Use with your own product photo in an image editor.
Use the supplied product photo as the reference. Keep the silhouette, label wording, package proportions, and actual color unchanged. Place the product upright on a pale neutral seamless background, with soft light from the upper left and a short contact shadow beneath the base. Show the whole product. Add no props, badges, extra products, or invented label text.

Plan a wide campaign composition around one object.
A three-quarter product photograph of wireless over-ear headphones on a pale stone plinth. Keep the headband and both ear cups fully visible. Use a large soft light from camera left, subtle material texture, and a quiet warm-gray background. Place the headphones in the left half of a wide composition and leave uncluttered space on the right for a headline to be added later.
Portraits · 9:16
A fictional portrait brief; use a reference if identity matters.
A natural portrait of a fictional small-business founder in a bright workshop, wearing a simple navy shirt. Frame from the chest up with relaxed shoulders and a direct, calm expression. Use soft window light from the side, realistic skin texture, and a gently out-of-focus background of shelves and materials. Keep the face unobstructed and avoid an exaggerated beauty-retouching look.
Portraits · 1:1
Keep context visible without turning it into clutter.
An editorial portrait of a fictional ceramic artist seated beside a workbench. Include their hands, a few unfinished bowls, and traces of clay on the table. Use muted terracotta and cream colors, soft overcast daylight, and an eye-level viewpoint. The scene should feel quiet and lived in, with the person as the clear focal point rather than every object competing for attention.
Interiors · 16:9
Decide the camera position before adding decorative details.
A wide interior photograph of a small creative studio with an oak desk, linen curtains, and built-in shelving. View the room from the doorway at eye level so the desk and window read clearly. Use soft morning light, restrained warm colors, and a few practical objects. Keep vertical lines straight and furniture proportions plausible. Leave enough empty surface for the room to feel usable.
Interiors · 9:16
A vertical composition with a single focal area.
A vertical interior photograph of a compact reading corner beside a tall window. Include one upholstered chair, a small round side table, a reading lamp, and a closed book. Soft late-afternoon light should fall across the chair and floor. Use warm off-white walls and natural wood, with no extra furniture crowding the frame. Keep the full chair visible and the window as a secondary element.
Editorial · 1:1
Use a limited palette and a deliberate arrangement.
An editorial still life of a folded linen cloth, a clear drinking glass, and one green pear on a matte cream tabletop. Use a slightly elevated camera angle, soft directional daylight, and a restrained cream-and-green palette. Arrange the objects with clear separation and an uneven but balanced rhythm. Keep the shadows gentle and the glass reflections simple enough to read.
Editorial · 9:16
Reserve the text area; add final typography in a layout tool.
A vertical editorial portrait concept for an independent design magazine. Show a fictional designer in a charcoal jacket against a muted lavender studio backdrop, framed from the waist up. Keep their head below the upper quarter of the frame so there is clear space for a masthead. Use crisp side light and natural fabric texture. Do not render any lettering, logos, or magazine title.
Posters · 9:16
Build the visual layer separately from exact event information.
A vertical abstract poster background for a contemporary sculpture exhibition. Use three large geometric forms inspired by folded paper, with a palette of warm cream, charcoal, and one violet accent. Keep generous empty space across the top third and lower edge for event text to be added separately. Favor a clear visual hierarchy, subtle paper texture, and restrained shadows. Do not add words or logos.
Posters · 1:1
A square concept with a strong shape hierarchy.
A square graphic illustration for an evening jazz performance. Build the composition around one curved brass-instrument silhouette and a few broad rhythmic shapes. Use deep navy, warm ochre, and off-white with a lightly printed texture. Leave a clean band along the lower edge for date and venue text to be added later. Avoid tiny ornamental details and do not render any text.
Campaigns · 16:9
One subject, one lighting idea, and a defined text-safe area.
A wide campaign concept showing a compact portable speaker on a low stone ledge at blue hour. Make the speaker the primary subject, with a softly blurred city horizon in the distance. Use one gentle warm highlight on the product and cool ambient light around it. Place the subject to the right and leave a quiet darker area on the left for copy. Avoid logos, floating objects, and exaggerated reflections.
Campaigns · 9:16
Keep the subject away from the interface and crop edges.
A vertical product-story concept featuring a reusable water bottle on a wooden bench beside a sunlit window. Show the full bottle near the center, with soft leaf shadows on the surrounding surface and a simple pale background. Keep the top and bottom portions relatively quiet for interface overlays or captions. Use natural color and a clear contact shadow. Do not add text, claims, or badges.
Use your actual product, scene, or creative brief. If a likeness or label must stay accurate, supply a reference in a tool that supports it.
Name the details to preserve and the one change to make. Set crop and output options in the provider’s controls instead of assuming prompt syntax is universal.
Inspect text, materials, proportions, and factual details. Revise one variable at a time, then review the final crop at its intended display size.
