The photographer brief & shot list
Rung 4 of 10 · Recipe pattern
1 · Learn the move · Recipe pattern
The best photos start before the shoot. A recipe pattern turns your listing facts into a repeatable shot list you hand the photographer: every room, the exterior angles, and the two or three details that sell this specific house. No photo exists yet, so this one runs on facts, not images — and it still won't invent rooms you didn't list.
Turn these listing facts into a photographer shot list: exterior angles, one shot per room I listed, detail shots for the features I named, and hero candidates. Add nothing I didn't give you.
2 · Your turn — you write the prompt
You just signed a listing — 4-bed, renovated kitchen, new rear deck, mountain view from the primary — and the shoot is Thursday. Write a prompt that turns these facts into a shot list for the photographer: hero candidates, every room, and the two or three features worth a detail shot, using only what you told it.
Remember: the AI sees only your prompt — not this page. If the situation isn't in your prompt, it doesn't exist.
Optional — these shape the output when you run your prompt below, not your score.
