Example Output
Project: Modern Scandinavian Living Room
Hero Shot Prompt (Midjourney)
photorealistic interior photography of a modern Scandinavian living room, double-height ceiling with exposed white oak beams, floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a pine forest, light gray linen sofa with textured throw pillows, walnut coffee table on a natural wool rug, Noguchi paper pendant lamp, concrete fireplace with a single flame, winter afternoon light streaming in, warm neutral palette with sage green accents, shot on Sony A7R IV with 24mm f/2.8 lens, architectural digest quality, ultra-detailed, 8k --ar 16:9 --s 200 --q 2 --v 6
Detail Vignette
close-up interior detail shot, hand resting on walnut side table next to a steaming ceramic cup, soft cashmere throw draped over chair arm, afternoon light casting long shadows across white oak herringbone floor, shallow depth of field, warm tones, tactile textures, interior design magazine quality --ar 4:5 --s 150 --v 6
Negative Prompt
--no: cluttered, messy, cheap furniture, plastic, fluorescent lighting, cartoon, low quality, watermark, people's faces (unless lifestyle shot), distorted architecture, curved walls that should be straight
Camera Recommendation
Use '24mm wide-angle' for room overviews and '85mm' for vignettes. Adding 'tilt-shift lens' creates the miniature/professional look common in high-end architectural photography.
Tips for Best Results
- 💡Specify exact materials (white oak, polished concrete, brushed brass) — vague terms like 'nice floor' produce generic results
- 💡Include a real camera model and focal length for dramatically more photorealistic output
- 💡For interiors, always mention the light source direction — 'afternoon light from the left through floor-to-ceiling windows' beats 'natural lighting'
