Recipe
The examples above were generated with Nano Banana Pro and Seedream 4.5. The recipes below are written for GPT Image and Flux, so treat the settings as a starting point rather than the exact run.
A description in plain sentences. This is the version to start with, and it works on any current image model. Settings below are the ones we used on GPT Image; treat them as a starting point.
This recipe describes a treatment rather than a thing. Put your own subject in and it is added to the end of the prompt.
Minimal studio photograph in which a single small subject sits against an enormous flat field of saturated colour that fills most of the frame. The subject is pushed well off centre and occupies a small fraction of the picture. Even shadowless light, seamless backdrop with no visible edge or horizon, clean digital capture, no props, no texture in the background. The composition reads as one shape against a plane. Subject: a child in a red coat holding a bunch of dried flowers.
