Any prompt will generate a result, but the more descriptive and specific you are, the better.

Aim to give the AI the following details:

Medium, e.g. a photo, painting, sketch, cartoon, illustration

Subject, e.g. a woman smiling, a dog, a bar of soap

Location, e.g. clean urban street setting, spring garden, on a sink in a modern bathroom

Light & hue, e.g. sun shining, natural light, warm and mellow tones

Camera, e.g. 50mm lens, Aperture f/7, medium shot.

A very basic prompt like ‘Generate a woman smiling’ gives us the results below, but it’s not exactly what we were looking for, so we need to add more detail to the prompt.

A more detailed prompt will give us a photograph of a smiling woman that’s closer to our vision. Here is the prompt used to generate the images below:

‘Generate a photo of a woman smiling. 40 years old, ginger hair, no make-up. Clean urban street setting. Sun shining, Natural light, Warm and mellow tones. 50mm lens, Aperture f/7. Medium shot.’

Keep experimenting with your prompt to generate new results!
