Great Prompts Create Visible Situations, Not Just Decoration

The post argues that vague phrases like "beautiful luxury portrait" are ineffective prompts; the key is creating a visible situation. The author compares a weak prompt with a strong one that specifies the subject (a stylish young woman leaving a private hotel dinner at midnight), textures (wrinkled ivory silk dress, oversized tuxedo jacket), background (empty glasses, discarded flowers), and lighting (candid amateur flash photography, deep shadows). The conclusion is that the difference lies in depicting a concrete scenario, not just adding decorative words.
