ChatGPT Image 2 (GPT Image 2) processes prompts with high instruction-following fidelity — it handles multi-part, complex descriptions reliably. The prompts below are organized by category to match the model's core strengths.

Why Prompt Structure Matters for GPT Image 2

Unlike diffusion models that respond to weighted keywords, GPT Image 2 processes prompts more like a language model. This means:

Full sentences outperform keyword lists — describe the scene like you're explaining it to a photographer
Negations work — "no people", "without shadows", "not centered" are interpreted correctly
Text content should be quoted exactly — the model will attempt to render the exact text you specify
Lighting and camera directives translate — "studio lighting", "natural side light", "overhead view", "shallow depth of field" produce predictable results

A vintage store front sign reading "SECOND HAND" in hand-painted serif lettering. Weathered wood. Slightly faded. Natural outdoor lighting.
A minimalist poster with large bold sans-serif text reading "DO THE WORK" centered on a cream background. No decoration. Print-ready.
A coffee shop blackboard menu listing: "ESPRESSO — $3 | FLAT WHITE — $5 | COLD BREW — $4". White chalk lettering, clean and legible. Wooden frame.
A book cover design: a dark forest scene at dusk, with the title "The Last Observer" in large white type at the top, author "A.R. Sinclair" below. Moody and literary.
A warning label on a yellow background reading "CAUTION: HIGH VOLTAGE" in standard black industrial type. Sticker format. Clean edges.

Photorealistic Scenes (5 prompts)

A fog-covered mountain road at dawn. Pines on both sides. No cars. Wet pavement reflects the pale sky. Cinematic wide shot.
A crowded fish market in Tokyo. Vendors, ice-covered stalls, bright fluorescent lights. Morning rush. Slightly elevated camera angle.
A corner of a botanist's greenhouse. Humidity visible in the air. Rows of orchids in terracotta pots. Green light through glass panels.
A late-night diner from outside. Warm fluorescent interior light. One customer at the counter. Wet street, reflections. Noir aesthetic.

Creative and Conceptual (5 prompts)

A single candle burning in a completely dark room. The flame is the only light source. Wax has melted and dripped.
A sand hourglass, half-empty, on a stone surface. The falling sand is lit from behind. Time metaphor. No additional props.
A map of a fictional island, hand-drawn, aged parchment. Detailed coastlines, mountains indicated in pencil, a red "X" marking one location. No text.
A folded origami crane on a wooden surface. Side lighting creates a long shadow. Only the crane and shadow — nothing else in frame.

Prompt Tips for GPT Image 2

For product photography: Always specify the surface, background, and lighting style. GPT Image 2 handles material textures (marble, linen, wood, metal) reliably when named.

For text-in-image: Put the exact text in quotation marks within the prompt. Specify the font style (serif, sans-serif, hand-lettered, chalk) and the background it sits on.

For scenes: Work from foreground to background. Specify what's in the foreground, what's at mid-ground, and what's in the background. GPT Image 2 populates all three.

For realism: Add one camera/lighting directive per prompt — "natural side light", "overhead studio lighting", "golden hour", "fluorescent indoor lighting" all translate predictably.
