The prompt

The direction balances subject, environment, camera character, and light so the image reads as a considered photograph rather than a loose style list. Its strongest visual cues are photorealistic, close up.

Close-up of a brass composing stick held in a letterpress shop, metal type locked in a short line with the nick facing up, individual sorts of lead type nestled against the stick's knee, a worn wooden type case blurred behind with compartments of sorts, hard side light from a north window raking across the type faces so the counters catch a thin highlight, shallow depth of field, no readable letters, no text, no logos Art direction controls: {{lighting}}, {{composition}}, {{mood}}. --ar 3:2 --stylize 150

Useful structure, room to move.

The direction balances subject, environment, camera character, and light so the image reads as a considered photograph rather than a loose style list. Its strongest visual cues are photorealistic, close up.

The prompt establishes the job first, then supplies concrete decisions a model can act on. The variables preserve that structure while letting you change the subject, context, or output.
