How to Get Better Results From Any Prompt

  • Be specific — “red Nike Air Max 90” beats “sneaker” every time
  • Add camera movement — “slow push-in”, “tracking shot”, “low angle” give the AI direction
  • Specify the mood — “cinematic”, “luxury”, “editorial”, “hyperrealistic”
  • Include technical details — “4K”, “no camera shake”, “shallow depth of field”
  • Generate 3–4 variations — never use the first result without comparing
