Learning to Write Image Prompts

To get a "perfect" image in Gemini, you shouldn't just throw words at it. You should build a structured mini-story. Here is the golden formula for Gemini:

[Subject + Action] + [Context/Setting] + [Art Style] + [Technical/Vibe Specs]

• 1. Subject + Action: Don't just say "a cat." Say, "A fluffy calico cat wearing a tiny wizard hat is casting a spell."

• 2. Context: Where is it? "...in a cluttered alchemist’s library filled with glowing potions."

• 3. Art Style: What medium is this? "...rendered in a whimsical 3D Pixar-style animation."

• 4. Tech/Vibe: Lighting and mood. "...with cinematic lighting, soft bokeh background, and a magical, purple color palette."

The Basic Prompt: "Cinematic film portrait of a young woman with short curly brown hair and blue eyes, freckles, looking at camera, soft lighting, grainy texture."

Now, if we apply our [Subject + Action] + [Context/Setting] + [Art Style] + [Technical/Vibe Specs] formula:

The Advanced Prompt

Prompt: "Close-up portrait of a woman with a messy short curly bob cut and scattered freckles, staring intensely at the camera, [Subject + Action] :: dark atmospheric studio setting, soft moody shadows [Context/Setting] :: 35mm film photography, cinematic analog style, raw aesthetic [Art Style] :: grainy texture, cool teal color grading, soft focus, Kodak Portra 400, low contrast, natural lighting, heavy film grain [Technical/Vibe Specs] --ar 2:3"
