✨ Overview

When starting with prompts, one of the biggest challenges is understanding what different terms actually do.

Many tags seem simple, but without clarity, it becomes guesswork instead of intentional creation.

This guide series aims to make prompt language easier to understand — especially for those who want better control over their results.

Each part will focus on a specific category, such as:

• Camera angles & perspectives
• Lighting
• Composition
• Poses & expressions
• Materials and styles

This first part covers basic camera angles and points of view, which strongly influence how a subject is perceived.

📸 What Are Camera Angles & Points of View?

They control:

• Camera position
• Viewing direction
• Perspective and overall feeling

📌 Note: In the examples below, the base prompt remains the same. Only the angle/view tags are changed.
