The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the prompt updates.
A knolling photograph shot from directly overhead: the contents of a photographer's bag disassembled and arranged in a strict grid on a pale concrete surface. Camera body, three lenses, lens caps, film canisters, notebook, pen, keys and a folded cloth, all spaced evenly and aligned parallel or perpendicular to the frame, ordered by size. Flat even lighting with no cast shadows, muted colour, perfectly square to the camera.

Tips
- 1Parallel or perpendicular to the frame is the phrase that produces real knolling.
- 2List the objects. A generic prompt gives you a generic pile.
- 3Ask for no cast shadows or the grid stops reading as a grid.

the same objects tipped out in a heap beside the ordered version
