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 prompt updates.

Prompt

A straight documentary photograph of a large painted mural on the side of an old brick building: a simple bold graphic shape painted in two or three flat colours with visible paint drips running down from it, filling a plain section of wall. Windows, downpipes, fire escapes and weathering around it, flat overcast daylight, the camera squared up to the wall. No lettering, no logos.

Tips

  • 1Square the camera to the wall. Any angle turns it into a travel photo.
  • 2Drips are what make it read as painted rather than printed.
  • 3Keep the graphic simple. Detail gets lost at building scale.
