--- name: ai-image-prompts description: "Write and adapt prompts for AI image and video models (Nano Banana Pro, GPT Image, Seedream, Grok Imagine, Veo, Kling and others) using getluren.com's free prompt libraries and photo ideas. Use when a person wants a prompt for an AI photo or video, photoshoot ideas for an occasion, or prompts for a specific model." --- # AI image and video prompts https://getluren.com keeps free, copy-ready prompt libraries written for the web: one per model, and 254 photo idea collections by occasion, place and look. Use them as starting points; adapt the subject, place and light to what the person wants. ## How to write a photo prompt - Write full sentences, the way you would brief a photographer, rather than a pile of keywords. - Say who or what is in the picture, where, what they wear or hold, and what they are doing. - Add light (golden hour, soft window light, flash), camera (close-up, low angle, 35mm) and mood. - When editing a photo, name the one change and say what must stay the same: the face, the pose, the background. - For a portrait of the person themselves, the result looks like them only when their photo is attached as a reference. ## Prompt libraries by model ### Nano Banana Pro https://getluren.com/prompts/nano-banana-pro/ (18 prompts) - Brief it like a creative director: subject, composition, action, location and style, plus the aspect ratio you need. - Give camera and lighting direction in photographer's terms, such as shallow depth of field, golden-hour backlight or a low angle. - Spell out every word that should appear, in quotation marks, with its placement and typeface style, then check small print in the result. ### Nano Banana 2 https://getluren.com/prompts/nano-banana-2/ (18 prompts) - Write the prompt as a scene description with subject, setting, lighting and style, rather than a list of tags. - Put the exact words you want in the image in quotation marks and describe the lettering style and where it sits. - To translate a sign, menu or poster in your image, name the target language and ask to keep the layout, fonts and colors the same. ### Nano Banana 2.1 https://getluren.com/prompts/nano-banana-2-1/ (21 prompts) - For a series, describe the character once in detail (face, hair, outfit and one signature accessory) and repeat that description word for word in every prompt. - Refine one change at a time, such as a new place or a new pose, and say each time that the face and outfit stay exactly the same. - Put every word you want rendered in quotation marks, and say where it sits and what the lettering looks like. ### Nano Banana 2 Lite https://getluren.com/prompts/nano-banana-2-lite/ (22 prompts) - Keep it short: one subject, one setting, one style and the shape you want are usually enough for a strong draft. - Ask for one simple edit at a time, such as a new color, a new background or a sticker version, rather than a long list of changes. - Pick the aspect ratio before you write, because an 8:1 banner, a 1:4 wallpaper and a square post each need their own composition. ### Nano Banana https://getluren.com/prompts/nano-banana/ (18 prompts) - Describe the scene in full sentences, as you would brief a photographer, instead of stacking comma-separated keywords. - When editing your photo, name the one thing to change and say what must stay the same, such as your face, pose and background. - Edit in small steps, because one change per request keeps faces and details steadier than a long list of changes at once. ### GPT Image 2.5 https://getluren.com/prompts/gpt-image-2-5/ (18 prompts) - Order the prompt as scene, subject, key details, then constraints, and say what the image is for, such as an ad, a menu or a profile photo. - For edits, ask to change only the one element and repeat what must stay the same, such as face, pose, lighting and layout. - Use Sunburst when you plan several rounds of edits on the same picture, and Flare for quick drafts and variations. ### GPT Image 2 https://getluren.com/prompts/gpt-image-2/ (17 prompts) - Put the exact wording in quotation marks and ask for it to appear once, spelled exactly as written. - Describe typography as constraints: font style, weight, color, size and where each line sits on the canvas. - Choose medium or high quality for small print, dense layouts or several fonts; low is fine for quick concept drafts. ### Seedream 4.5 https://getluren.com/prompts/seedream-4-5/ (18 prompts) - Write short, precise sentences covering subject, action and setting; one clear description works better than a long string of adjectives. - Refer to your uploads as image 1, image 2 and so on, and give each a role: the face, the outfit, the product or the background. - For edits, start with an action word such as add, remove, replace or modify, and state what must stay unchanged. ### Seedream 5 https://getluren.com/prompts/seedream-5/ (18 prompts) - Spell out spatial relationships, such as what is on the left, in front, behind or being held, because the model follows multi-part layouts well. - Write in the language you think in, since prompts in many languages work, and quote any text that should appear exactly. - Use Lite to test compositions and wording quickly, then rerun the best prompt on Pro for a cleaner, more precise result. ### Grok Imagine https://getluren.com/prompts/grok-imagine/ (18 prompts) - Name one strong visual style up front, such as screen print, clay stop-motion, synthwave or oil painting, and let the rest of the prompt serve it. - Because results come back fast, generate a few variations and refine the prompt between rounds instead of writing one very long prompt. - For photo edits, state the change in a single plain sentence and say what to keep, such as your face or the composition. ### Qwen-Image 3.0 https://getluren.com/prompts/qwen-image-3/ (21 prompts) - Describe the layout before the content: the format, the grid, and what sits in the header, the body and the footer. - Write every piece of text exactly as it should appear, in quotation marks, and say which language each line is in. - Break a long brief into numbered sections, one per panel or block, so each part of the image has its own instructions. ### Veo 3.1 https://getluren.com/prompts/veo-3-1/ (18 prompts) - Structure the prompt as shot and camera move, subject, action, setting, then style and mood, written as full sentences. - Put spoken lines in quotation marks after the speaker, and add sound separately with labels like SFX: and Ambient noise:. - Describe what you want rather than what you don't, for example an empty beach with no footprints instead of a list of things to remove. ### Kling https://getluren.com/prompts/kling/ (18 prompts) - Use the formula subject plus movement: say who or what moves and exactly how, in short, simple sentences. - Don't re-describe your photo; spend the words on motion, camera behavior and atmosphere the still image cannot show. - Keep actions plausible for the scene, because complex physics such as juggling or a bouncing ball is still hard to render well. ### Seedance https://getluren.com/prompts/seedance/ (18 prompts) - Direct rather than describe vaguely: give each clip one subject, one concrete action and one camera move, then lighting and style. - Avoid conflicting camera instructions in the same clip, such as a fast zoom in combined with a slow pull back. - For longer clips, split the prompt into timed beats such as 0-3s, 3-6s and 6-10s, and keep each beat simple enough to fit its slot. ### Sora 2 (shut down: use the prompts in Veo 3.1 or Kling) https://getluren.com/prompts/sora-2/ (24 prompts) - Write it like a shot list: camera and framing first, then the subject, the action, the setting and the light, in full sentences. - Sora 2 heard dialogue in quotation marks, and so does Veo 3.1: put the line after the speaker, and add sound on its own line with SFX: and Ambient noise:. - Give each clip one beat. A whole story in one prompt was rushed on Sora 2 and is rushed on any model; make several short clips instead. ## Photo ideas In season now: Diwali photo ideas (https://getluren.com/ideas/diwali/), Thanksgiving photo ideas (https://getluren.com/ideas/thanksgiving/), Fall and autumn photo ideas (https://getluren.com/ideas/autumn-fall/), Black Friday ad photo ideas (https://getluren.com/ideas/black-friday-ad/), Christmas photo ideas (https://getluren.com/ideas/christmas/), Christmas card photo ideas (https://getluren.com/ideas/christmas-card/), Ugly Christmas sweater photo ideas (https://getluren.com/ideas/ugly-christmas-sweater/), Christmas pajamas photo ideas (https://getluren.com/ideas/christmas-pajamas/).
