How to write a prompt for the GPT image creator
Write the way you would brief an illustrator: full sentences, the most important thing first. A useful order is subject, action, setting, style, light and composition.
For example: “A red fox curled up asleep in fresh snow, early morning, soft blue light, close-up, shallow depth of field.” Add exact words in quotation marks when the picture needs text.
- Subject: who or what the picture is about
- Setting: where and when it happens
- Style: photo, watercolor, 3D render, flat illustration
- Light and color: golden hour, neon, pastel, high contrast
- Composition: close-up, wide shot, top-down, centered
