How to Get Great Results

  1. Step 1

    Be concise and concrete

    Describe subject, camera, and lighting in one or two sentences to keep results crisp and low‑artifact.

  2. Step 2

    Add photographic cues

    Include lens and shot type (85mm close‑up, 50mm medium, 35mm environmental) and optional DOF (e.g., f/2.0).

  3. Step 3

    Guide materials and palette

    Call out fabrics/surfaces (leather, linen, brushed steel) and palette (golden hour, moody blue‑teal).

  4. Step 4

    Iterate in small steps

    Change a single element—lighting, background, or a material—to steadily converge on the look.
