THE IDEA SHELF

Prompt library

Useful prompts, with room to make them your own.

Build a better prompt

Give the model one clear subject, then specify the scene and light.

01 / Architecture

Desert daydream

A sculptural terracotta arch on pale sand dunes, a calm turquoise sea visible through the opening, soft morning light, editorial architectural photography, tactile plaster, no text.

Replace the material and light before adding more objects.↗
02 / Product

The everyday object

A single handmade ivory ceramic cup on a sage green plinth, warm off-white studio background, soft side lighting, subtle contact shadow, product photography, generous negative space, no logo.

Specify one material and one surface for a cleaner frame.↗
03 / Nature

After the rain

A close-up of a fern leaf with rain droplets in a quiet woodland, diffused overcast daylight, shallow depth of field, natural green colors, botanical photography, no text.

Review droplet shapes and leaf edges at full size.↗
04 / Illustration

A small, slow Sunday

A tiny reading nook beside a round window overlooking a garden, hand-painted gouache illustration, warm ochre and muted teal palette, visible paper texture, peaceful afternoon, no lettering.

Use a limited palette to keep a series consistent.↗
05 / Product

Citrus study

Three oranges and one cut half on a cream linen cloth, overhead still-life photography, gentle window light, crisp peel texture, restrained composition, no packaging or labels.

Models can miss counts; check how many objects appear.↗
06 / Architecture

Quiet geometry

A sunlit courtyard with curved white walls and a single olive tree, limestone floor, architectural photograph at eye level, warm midday shadows, balanced negative space, no people.

Keep the camera height constant when comparing variations.↗
