Why this prompt works

Food photography fails without the magic three: plating style, lighting type, and angle. The combination of these three variables creates the entire mood — the same dish shot overhead with natural light is Instagram casual; shot from the front with dark dramatic lighting is Michelin-star.

Tips for best results

  • Add 'steam rising from dish' for hot food, 'condensation on glass' for cold drinks — these micro-details make images look real
  • For consistent menu photography: lock LIGHTING and ANGLE variables and only change the DISH_OR_DRINK
  • Dark background + rim lighting is the formula for luxury food photography — use it for premium menu items
  • Add 'hero ingredient garnish visible in foreground' to add visual depth and hint at the flavour profile
