Anchor the camera
Say where the camera stands and whether the view is frontal, corner-to-corner, low, or elevated.
A repeatable prompt order
Start with the part that defines the image, then move from the large composition to visible surface detail. The order below is short enough to edit without losing track of the variable you changed.
[space type] + [dominant geometry] + [camera position and lens character] + [three key materials] + [time and light direction] + [occupancy constraint]
Use it in three moves
Limit the material list
Name the few surfaces that define the scene so finishes do not compete for attention.
Describe daylight in space
State the opening, direction, softness, and shadow length. Add people only when scale needs them.

Sunlit reading corner
A reading corner in late afternoon: a worn leather armchair, a floor lamp switched off, low sun coming through a tall window and throwing a hard trapezoid of light across the floorboards and up the wall. Dust in the beam. Wide, 24mm, no people.
Concrete stairwell, top light
A brutalist concrete stairwell shot upward, daylight entering from a skylight far above and falling off with distance. Board-formed concrete texture, steel handrail, deep shadow in the lower flights. Symmetrical composition, ultra-wide.
Kitchen at blue hour
A kitchen at blue hour, under-cabinet lights the only warm source, cool blue window light balancing it from the left. Marble worktop, a single glass left out, everything tidy. Mixed colour temperature held rather than corrected. Tripod, long exposure.
Empty gallery room
An empty white gallery room with a polished concrete floor, track lighting pointing at bare walls, one doorway leading to a darker second room. No artwork, no people. Even diffuse light, straight-on one-point perspective, 28mm.
Attic workshop, north light
An attic workshop under a sloping roof with a north-facing skylight, workbench cluttered with hand tools, sawdust on the floor, exposed rafters. Soft even daylight with no direct sun. Warm wood tones, slight haze, 35mm.
Hotel corridor, receding lights
A long hotel corridor with identical doors receding to a vanishing point, wall sconces at regular intervals creating a rhythm of pools of light on patterned carpet. Slightly wide, dead centre, symmetrical. Nobody in frame.
Greenhouse interior, humid light
Inside a Victorian glasshouse, wrought iron ribs overhead, condensation on the panes diffusing the sunlight into a soft glow. Palms and ferns crowding a central path, terracotta pots, water on the flagstones. Humid, green, slightly overexposed.
Japanese tatami room
A tatami room with shoji screens filtering daylight into an even soft wash, a low wooden table, one cushion, an alcove with a single branch in a vase. Nothing else. Straight on, symmetrical, muted natural palette.
Basement server room
A basement server room lit only by rack indicator LEDs and one open cabinet door spilling white light, cable bundles running overhead in trays, polished raised floor reflecting the glow. Cold, blue-green, long exposure, nobody present.
