Lesson 1

Speaking the Language of AI Visuals

Understand how to describe lighting, composition, and style to get better AI images.

Master Technical Terms Use words like 'Golden Hour', 'Bokeh', 'Cinematic Lighting', or 'Minimalist Composition'. These terms provide the image generator with technical constraints. ## Define Your Subject Clearly Describe the subject, the action, and the environment. 'A young woman sitting in a dark, moody library, holding a vintage book, soft warm lighting coming from the window, cinematic, high detail'. ## The Prompt Formula [Subject] + [Action] + [Environment] + [Lighting/Style] + [Technical Camera Settings]. This structure ensures your prompt contains all the necessary ingredients for a high-quality generation. ## Why this matters AI generators interpret vague phrases like 'beautiful photo' as noise. Specific technical descriptors reduce ambiguity and allow the model to lock onto your aesthetic vision. Start practicing by describing your favourite movie scenes using this exact formula.
