Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending `.md` to page URLs; this page is available as [Markdown](https://help.hippist.com/creating-photoshoots/writing-prompts.md). # Writing Prompts To write an effective prompt, consider key elements such as the **shot** type (e.g., close-up), the **gender** of the subject, their **pose**, the camera **angle** (e.g., straight-on), specific details about their **physical appearance** (e.g., complexion, eye color, hair), and a description of the **background** (e.g., blurred outdoor setting). By combining these aspects, you can create a detailed prompt that guides AI image generation to produce the desired visual.
