Un prompt de photographie culinaire doit cadrer l appétit, la structure et l usage commercial. Définissez plat, texture, lumière, dressage, fond et format avant le style.
Résumé : écrire comme un brief de shooting culinaire
- Résumé : écrire comme un brief de shooting culinaire: hero dish, serving vessel, texture, light direction, and crop come before mood words.
- Reference images protect package shape, signature plating, brand props, and recognizable dish identity.
- Keep all public prompt blocks in English, then localize only the surrounding explanation and review notes.
- Reserve generated image text for later design; do not ask the model to spell menu copy or price badges.
- Revise one failure at a time: identity, crop, texture, lighting, then style.
Formule de prompt pour photographie culinaire
| Part | Local guidance | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Hero food | Name the dish, ingredient, plate, glass, bowl, tray, or package. | One clear subject keeps the frame stable. |
| Texture | Describe gloss, crumbs, char, foam, steam, sauce, powder, or condensation. | Material believability creates appetite. |
| Lighting | Choose soft window light, studio softbox, hard flash, backlight, or cafe spotlight. | Lighting controls freshness and commercial polish. |
| Composition | Choose top-down, three-quarter, macro, centered hero, or negative space. | The crop decides whether the image fits social, menu, or ecommerce. |
| Output rules | Set aspect ratio, no text, no watermark, no extra hands, and safe area. | Rules remove production blockers. |
