Tips for Better Traditional Prompts
Name the exact style or medium up front — e.g. "Traditional photography" or "Traditional illustration" — so the AI locks onto the right visual language.
Combine Traditional with a specific AI tool's strengths — Midjourney for atmosphere, DALL·E for literal accuracy, Stable Diffusion for fine control.
Add composition cues — camera angle, framing, and background — to keep Traditional results consistent across a shoot or series.
Iterate in small steps — generate a base Traditional image first, then refine lighting and styling in follow-up prompts.
