Your prompt

Create a 3:2 macro photograph focusing on the stitched seam and brass zipper pull of a leather crossbody bag. Focus: razor-sharp on the stitched seam and brass zipper pull, with a very shallow depth of field so the surrounding product falls softly out of focus. Texture: render the real material faithfully: full-grain tan leather with fine natural grain and slightly waxed edges. Light: raking side light from the left to bring out surface texture, with controlled highlights and no blown-out areas. Colour: true-to-life, warm tan with a visible honey-coloured highlight. Constraints: no text, no logos, no dust or fingerprints, no artificial smoothing of the material.

Customize

The fields start with example values so you can see how the prompt works. Everything stays in your browser.

The product.

Exactly what should be sharp.

Describe the real material.

Example of what to expect

Illustrative only. It describes the kind of result this prompt aims for; real output varies by tool, model and run.

A close-up of a stitched leather seam and brass zipper pull, side-lit to show grain, the rest of the bag softly blurred.

Expected format: One close-up image.

How to use it

  1. Describe the real material, not an idealised one.
  2. Use alongside a full product shot, never instead of one.
  3. Zoom to 100% to check stitching and edges.

Limitations

  • Texture is often 'too perfect' or plasticky; compare to the real item.
  • Construction details such as stitching patterns are frequently invented; do not use to represent real craftsmanship claims.

FLUX (Black Forest Labs)

FLUX.2 does not use negative prompts, so constraints here are phrased as things to do.

General notes on FLUX (Black Forest Labs)
  • BFL's official guidance for FLUX.2: no negative prompts (describe what you want), write sentences rather than keyword lists, specify lighting, quote text to render, and pair colour names with hex codes.

Midjourney

Not verified: third-party guidance only · checked 2026-10-11

Append parameters after the prompt (for example --ar 1:1). Parameter names and ranges vary by model version, and Midjourney's official list could not be read on 2026-10-11, so check the live docs.

General notes on Midjourney
  • Parameters go at the end of the prompt (for example --ar for aspect ratio). Parameter names and ranges vary by model version.
  • We could not read Midjourney's official parameter list on the verification date, so check the live docs for your model version before relying on any parameter shown here.
