Compose image prompts from structured controls (subject, style, lighting, camera, mood, and color) rather than guessing at keyword soup. Targets Midjourney, DALL-E, and Stable Diffusion conventions.
Build structured prompts for AI image generators: Midjourney, DALL-E, and Stable Diffusion. Select subject, style, lighting, camera angle, mood, and quality modifiers, then copy the optimized prompt.

Image prompts respond to structure more than to length. Subject, then style, then lighting, then camera, then mood is a reliable ordering because it front-loads the thing the model must get right and treats everything else as modification. Lighting and camera terms in particular do a lot of work: golden hour, rim lighting, 35mm, shallow depth of field are strong, specific signals.
The generators differ in how they read a prompt. Midjourney weights early terms heavily and supports explicit weighting; Stable Diffusion responds to negative prompts, which is a separate field rather than a phrase; DALL-E handles natural-language description better than comma-separated keywords. Same content, different assembly.
