What You’ll Learn

  • How to break an “idea” into a five-part structure: subject / environment / lighting / camera / style.
  • When to add negative prompts, and when to describe what you want instead of forbidding what you don’t.

Exercise

Using the same subject description, change only “lighting” in one run and only “camera” in another — observe which part affects the image most.
