Prompt Details
### **Introduction to the Dynamic Prompt Structure**
This prompt is designed to be **dynamic and modular**. Instead of a single, static prompt, it’s a structured template with interchangeable components. This approach gives you precise control over the final image, allowing you to easily adjust specific elements like the subject, the type of glow, the aesthetic, and the camera work. It follows best practices by separating concepts with commas, using descriptive keywords, and layering details from the general to the specific.
The structure is broken down into seven key components. You can mix and match the bracketed `[options]` or write your own custom descriptions to create a unique and powerful prompt every time. This method works well on platforms like Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, DALL-E 3, and others because it relies on clear, descriptive language rather than platform-specific syntax.
