Realistic image prompt pack
You will have six realistic prompts and a checklist for the details AI images often get wrong.
Before you start
- An AI assistant, free plan is fine
- A real task to try the prompts on
How to use this pack
These prompts avoid real people. Use them for places and objects. Say an image is AI-made where it could mislead.
Places
An empty cafe interior at 8 am, soft window light, wooden tables, steam from a coffee machine, 35mm photo, natural colours.
A quiet city street after rain, wet pavement reflecting shop lights, dusk, 50mm photo, no people, no readable signs.
Objects
A tidy desk seen from above with a notebook, pen and cup of tea, soft daylight, natural shadows, no text.
A bowl of soup on a wooden table, side light, shallow depth of field, natural colours, no text.
Nature
A misty hillside at sunrise, soft golden light, wide angle, natural colours, no buildings.
A close-up of dew on a leaf, macro photo, soft green background.
