Image Prompt Anatomy

Vague adjectives produce vague images. Concrete visual vocabulary produces exactly what you see in your head.

Real-world application: What changes when you use this: you can write image prompts that produce what you actually want — not something 'close' — using concrete visual vocabulary instead of vague adjectives.

What you will learn

Write image prompts using concrete visual vocabulary (composition, lighting, lens, art style)
Use the five-part image prompt anatomy: subject, composition, lighting, style, mood
Avoid vague adjectives that produce generic images
Iterate on image prompts to get closer to the desired result
