The Secret Formula: S-A-S-D
S-A-S-D Stands For: Subject • Action/Outfit • Setting • Details
Think of your prompt as telling a digital photographer exactly what you want.
Step | Element | What It Means | Example Word/Phrase |
---|---|---|---|
**S** | **Subject** | Who is in the picture? (Usually "The person in this photo"). | **The young woman**... |
**A** | **Action/Outfit** | What are they doing or wearing? The main change. | ...**wearing a vintage 90s outfit and holding a coffee**... |
**S** | **Setting** | Where is the scene? The background and location. | ...**walking down a rainy Tokyo street at night**... |
**D** | **Details** | How should it look? Style, lighting, and camera quality. | ...**with neon reflections, cinematic depth of field, and hyper-realistic 4K quality.** |
