Stable Diffusion Prompt Camera

Creating the perfect prompt is key to generating high-quality AI art with Stable Diffusion. As an expert Stable Diffusion user, I’ve experimented extensively to find prompts that reliably produce stunning images.

In this article, I’ll share my top prompt engineering tips and provide examples across different categories to spark your creativity.

Defining Your Artistic Vision

When creating an SD prompt, first clearly define the artistic vision in your mind. Decide on elements like:

• Subject matter
• Composition
• Style/medium (painting, drawing etc.)
• Lighting
• Background

Essential Prompt Structure

All good SD prompts follow this basic structure:

• Subject – Specify the main focus clearly
• Style – Is it a painting? Sketch? Which art style?
• Details – Visual aspects like colors, lighting, background etc.
• Quality – Ensures high resolution, photorealistic rendering

Concise phrasing is key. Be descriptive yet specific.

Prompt Examples

Now let’s see prompt engineering in action with some examples across different categories!
