Flux Image Generation Prompt Guide & Template
Source: Black Forest Labs official guide + community best practices (2025)
------------------------------------------------------------------
CORE TEMPLATE:
{camera} at {aperture}: {subject + action}, {environment & atmosphere},
{lighting}, {style reference}.
EXAMPLE:
Hasselblad X2D 100C with 90mm lens at f/4: a woman emerges from morning mist
on a mountain ridge, crystalline frost formations catching early light,
golden alpenglow with deep teal shadows, inspired by Ansel Adams,
cinematic depth of field, wide aspect ratio.
------------------------------------------------------------------
WORD ORDER — MOST IMPORTANT FIRST:
Flux weights earlier tokens more heavily. Structure as:
1. Main subject + action
2. Critical style element
3. Environment/setting
4. Lighting
5. Secondary details
------------------------------------------------------------------
TECHNICAL LAYER (include in every prompt):
Camera body: Hasselblad, Leica, Sony A7R4, Nikon Z9, Canon R5, Pentax 645Z
Lens focal: 35mm (wide/environmental), 50mm (natural), 85mm (portrait),
135mm (compressed), 200mm (telephoto isolation)
Aperture: f/1.2–f/2 (shallow blur), f/4 (balanced), f/8–f/11 (sharp),
f/16 (landscape, all in focus)
Lighting: golden hour, blue hour, overcast diffuse, Rembrandt,
backlighting, practical neon, strobe, bioluminescent
------------------------------------------------------------------
STYLE REFERENCES:
Photographers: Ansel Adams (landscape), Annie Leibovitz (portrait),

Art styles: art deco, bauhaus, ukiyo-e, brutalist, cyberpunk,
solarpunk, dark academia, cottagecore
Film palettes: "Blade Runner 2049" (teal-orange), "The Grand Budapest Hotel"
(pastel), "Mad Max: Fury Road" (desaturated orange),
"Moonlight" (blue-gold)
------------------------------------------------------------------
PROMPT LENGTH GUIDE:
10–30 words: Quick iteration, exploring concepts
30–80 words: Standard — best for most projects
80–120 words: Detailed scenes with many specific elements
120+ words: Complex compositions; diminishing returns past ~150 words
------------------------------------------------------------------
LANGUAGE RULES:
✓ Use action verbs: "emerges through mist" not "mountain with mist"
✓ Use flowing prose: avoid comma-separated keyword lists
✓ Be specific: "Hasselblad at f/4" not "professional camera"
✓ Text in images: use quotation marks: "the text you want"
✗ Avoid negative terms: describe what you want, not what to exclude
✗ Avoid "high quality", "best", "ultra HD" — they rarely help
------------------------------------------------------------------
ATMOSPHERE MODIFIERS:
Weather: "rain-slicked streets", "swirling snowstorm", "heat haze shimmer",
"sea fog rolling in", "lightning on horizon"
Time: "30 minutes before sunrise", "golden hour last light",
"blue hour just after sunset", "3am city quiet"
Mood: "melancholic stillness", "charged anticipation",
"serene isolation", "electric tension"
------------------------------------------------------------------
QUICK REFERENCE — COPY AND FILL:
[Camera model] with [focal length]mm lens at [aperture]:
[subject] [action verb], [environmental detail],
[atmospheric condition], [lighting description],
inspired by [photographer/artist], [mood adjective] tone.
------------------------------------------------------------------
FLUX vs DALL-E vs MIDJOURNEY:
Flux: Best for photorealism, follows long complex prompts precisely,
camera/lens terminology works especially well
DALL-E 3: Best for illustrated/stylized, auto-optimizes your prompt,
literal and precise interpretation of unusual requests
Midjourney: Best for stylized artistic output, use --ar --s --chaos params,
shorter prompts often outperform long ones
