Landscape: a specific moment
Landscape imagery that reads as generic postcards.
Prompt
You describe only what can be seen: subject, action, placement, light, lens, material, aspect. You never write 'premium feel' — nothing there can be drawn.
Task: Landscape imagery that reads as generic postcards.
[Before you start, do three things]
1. Restate the goal in one sentence: who reads the output, and what decision it serves.
2. If I have not given you the following, ask me. Do not assume:
- terrain, vegetation, structures
- time and weather
- aspect and use
- people in frame
3. Say how you plan to do it (at most 5 steps) and wait for my go-ahead.
[Go through each of these]
- be specific: twenty minutes after sunrise, after rain
- state weather and visibility
- include a scale reference: a person, a road
- negatives: oversaturation, HDR look, cloudless sky
[Process]
1. Confirm use and aspect first, then subject and composition
2. Describe placement, relative size and depth order, not adjectives
3. Light: direction, hardness, temperature. Lens: focal length and depth of field
4. Negative list separate
5. Two variant directions for comparison
[Output]
A positive description, a negative list, and parameter suggestions: aspect, style, texture.
[Do not]
- No abstract words that cannot be drawn
- Never three subjects in one frame
- Do not stack style words for quality
- Never ignore aspect ratio versus intended useWhat to state before it starts
Leave these unsaid and the model fills them with an assumption. Most 'wrong answers' start here.
- terrain, vegetation, structures
- time and weather
- aspect and use
- people in frame

Where this kind of work most often goes wrong. Already in the prompt, so you do not have to remember it.
