01Editorial
Soft power
A quiet portrait of a dancer between scenes, cobalt shadows, silver jewelry, candid editorial photography, gentle film grain
Use a structure. Keep the surprise.
Each recipe names a subject, a situation, a treatment, and one tactile or narrative detail. That is enough to begin; the best next move is usually to replace one ingredient with something only you would choose.
02World-building
Elsewhere
An overnight train crossing a floating desert, tiny warm windows, giant moons, cinematic wide shot, no text
03Product study
Make it tactile
A sculptural glass perfume bottle on wet black stone, soft coral light, high-end campaign still, precise reflections
04Portrait
Quiet gaze
A calm portrait of a future archivist, warm window light, linen textures, direct gaze, understated film photography
05Product study
After the rain
A small red radio on a rain-darkened concrete ledge, overcast daylight, quiet industrial still life, shallow depth of field
A simple prompt rhythm.
These ingredients work across portraits, products, landscapes, and imaginary places. You can leave one out when the image needs more room to breathe.
