Why Most AI Prompts Fail

If your images look cartoonish or low quality, your prompt structure is likely weak.

The Perfect Prompt Formula

Subject + Environment + Lighting + Camera + Quality Keywords

Copy & Paste Realistic Prompts

1. Photorealistic Portrait

"Ultra realistic portrait of a young woman, natural skin texture, 85mm lens, soft cinematic lighting, shallow depth of field, 8k resolution"

2. Professional Product Shot

"Luxury perfume bottle on marble surface, studio lighting, macro photography, hyper realistic, sharp focus"

Pro Tips

  • Add lens details (35mm, 85mm)
  • Use lighting terms like golden hour
  • Add quality boosters (8k, ultra detailed)

Conclusion

Prompt structure matters more than the AI tool itself.
