Prompt
Environment shots live or die on light and atmosphere, not the subject. Control those explicitly.

Photorealistic [WIDE / AERIAL / INTERIOR] view of [PLACE + KEY FEATURES], [TIME OF DAY], [WEATHER / ATMOSPHERE — fog / haze / rain / clear]. Lighting: [SOURCE + DIRECTION + warm or cool]. Lens: [FOCAL LENGTH + aperture], [depth-of-field note]. Mood: [2–3 ADJECTIVES]. [Foreground element] for depth, natural color grade, fine detail, no people unless noted. No text, no watermark.

Worked example:
Photorealistic wide view of an old-growth pine forest with a shallow stream cutting through mossy boulders, just after dawn, low ground fog between the trunks. Lighting: first warm sun raking from camera-right through the mist, cool shadows. Lens: 35mm at f/8, deep focus. Mood: hushed, ancient, serene. A fern in the near foreground for depth, natural color grade, fine detail, no people. No text, no watermark.

Tips:
- Atmosphere (fog / haze / god-rays) is what makes it cinematic — always specify it.
- Pair a focal length with an aperture: "35mm at f/8" tells the model how much to keep in focus.
- Add one foreground element to create real depth.
