Photography prompts
Photography prompts that really ran: portraits, street, still life, landscapes and film looks. Each one comes with its image, model and settings, so you can swap the subject and shoot again.

4 tips for Photography prompts
- 1
Lead with subject and action
Who, doing what, where: put it at the very start of the sentence.
- 2
Name the light
Side light, backlight, overcast or golden hour does far more than “nice light”.
- 3
Say the lens
“35mm street shot”, “85mm shallow depth of field” or “top-down” changes the framing.
- 4
Add one texture word
Film grain, Kodak tones or high-contrast black and white: pick one, don't stack them.
Questions
- Can I use these prompts as they are?
- Yes. “Create with it” fills in the model and ratio too, and you can copy any prompt to use elsewhere.
- Which model is best for realistic photos?
- Every work names its model. To compare, send the same sentence to several models at once and look at them side by side.
- Can I use the images commercially?
- Images you make are yours, subject to the terms of the model you used. Treat other people's works as references only.
