Prompt template
{subject}, in the style of a museum object-study photograph, {subject} isolated dead-center and filling the frame edge to edge on a seamless warm museum-white sweep, {palette}, lit by precise raking studio light from the upper left so the shaded side and soft cast shadow are tinted a deep cool violet, with one razor-thin chartreuse rim of reflected light catching a single lit contour edge of the form like a live signal, fine matte surface detail, shallow grounded contact shadow, premium gallery restraint, exact and sparse, full bleed
Slot recipes
hero — A single commanding subject filling the full frame on a seamless warm museum-white sweep, raking light from upper left, deep violet shadow side and cast shadow, one thin chartreuse rim on a single lit contour edge; maximum surface detail, exact and curated.
feature — One mid-frame subject on museum-white with the same raking light; slightly tighter crop so the form bleeds off two edges; violet shadow, single chartreuse rim, restrained and precise.
avatar — A face or single object in tight portrait crop on warm museum-white, raking light from upper left, violet tint on the shadow side, a thin chartreuse rim tracing the lit cheek or contour edge; no border.
empty-state — A lone small subject within a wide quiet museum-white field, raking light casting one soft violet shadow, a single faint chartreuse rim so the emptiness reads as calm and deliberate rather than blank.
illustration — A detailed subject rendered as a museum object-study plate, full bleed on warm museum-white, raking light, violet shadow tint, one chartreuse signal rim, fine texture resolved across the form.

Do
  • · Let the subject fill the frame on a seamless warm museum-white sweep; the technique is the light and the palette tint, never a literal display case or frame.
  • · Rake the light from the upper left so the shaded side and the cast shadow read clearly deep violet.
  • · Keep exactly one chartreuse rim on a single lit contour edge so it reads as a sharp live signal, not decoration.
  • · Resolve fine matte surface detail with calm, exact, gallery restraint and a shallow grounded contact shadow.
Don't
  • · Render a literal glass vitrine, plinth, pedestal, picture frame, paper border, or any margin around the subject.
  • · Flood the form or background with chartreuse; it stays a single thin highlighter edge.
  • · Tint the whole museum-white background violet or wash it with color; only the shadows carry the violet.
  • · Stamp text, labels, gauges, instrument panels, or UI chrome onto the plate, or crowd it with extra props.
