GPT Image
Full sentences. Describe the scene, then the medium, then the flaws you want kept in.
The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the highlighted part of the prompt changes.
A photograph of an impossible carved stone figure: many limbed and masked, seated inside an ornate arch and covered in relief detail from base to crown. Weathered lichened stone, flat even light so every carved edge reads clearly, plain wall or sky behind with nothing else in frame. Documentary rather than dramatic, no colour beyond the stone itself.

Tips
