3. Sample Prompts & Images

1) Generate ultra-realistic architectural daylight renders for urban design proposals

Prompt: Modern business tower, daylight, glass reflection, human scale reference, wide-angle lens, realistic lighting, 1024×1024.

This photorealistic render, generated by Google Imagen 4, showcases a sleek modern business tower captured in daylight. The building’s glass façade reflects the surrounding skyline, while human figures provide a sense of scale. The wide-angle composition emphasizes height and depth, with natural sunlight producing balanced highlights and soft shadows. The scene evokes the precision and polish of professional architectural photography.

2) Create editorial fashion portraits with natural daylight and color-accurate fabrics

Prompt: Editorial portrait, sunlight, textile color accuracy, skin tone balance, shallow depth of field, natural expression.

This editorial-style portrait, generated by Google Imagen 4, captures a beautifully natural balance of light, texture, and emotion. Sunlight softly illuminates the subject, producing lifelike skin tones and accurate textile colors. A shallow depth of field isolates the subject from the background, enhancing realism while preserving warmth and intimacy in expression. The result feels effortlessly human — refined yet authentic.

3) Render cinematic interior mood lighting for luxury hotels and lounges

Prompt: Luxury lounge interior, tungsten lighting, volumetric haze, cinematic shadows, photo-real tone mapping.

This cinematic interior, generated by Google Imagen 4, depicts a luxurious lounge bathed in warm tungsten lighting. Soft volumetric haze drifts through the air, accentuating the beams of light and the depth of the space. Every surface — from polished wood to soft upholstery — reflects light with realistic precision. The scene’s balanced shadows and warm tone mapping create a tranquil yet sophisticated mood.

4) Produce photoreal product compositions with balanced reflections and shadow diffusion

Prompt: Smartphone on marble surface, soft reflections, natural shadows, studio setup.

This clean, photorealistic scene, generated by Google Imagen 4, depicts a smartphone resting on a marble surface.

Soft reflections and diffused natural shadows add realism and depth, while the balanced lighting setup mimics a professional studio environment.

The marble’s subtle texture and the phone’s metallic edges complement each other, creating a crisp, minimal composition that feels refined and premium.

5) Generate science concept illustrations with clear visual hierarchies for editorial use

Prompt: Scientific concept art, molecular structures, neural network motif, vibrant gradient color scheme, grid-aligned composition.

This scientific concept artwork, generated by Google Imagen 4, merges molecular structures with neural network motifs in a stunning display of form and color.

A glowing DNA strand runs through the center, radiating a full spectrum of hues — symbolizing the fusion of biology and technology.

Surrounding it, molecular nodes and data-like connections weave into a complex, grid-aligned network, creating a seamless balance between scientific precision and visual artistry.

6) Compose wildlife photographs with accurate fur detail and natural lighting gradients

Prompt: Golden retriever running through sunlight, motion blur, detailed fur, soft background, cinematic look.

This lifelike scene, generated by Google Imagen 4, captures a golden retriever running through warm sunlight.

Every strand of fur glows with natural brilliance, as soft motion blur conveys speed and energy. The shallow depth of field gently isolates the dog from its background, while cinematic lighting brings the moment to life — a perfect balance between realism and emotion.
