Street Accident Moment — GPT Image 2 prompt template

When to use it

Use for candid street moments, accidental spills, documentary phone shots, and fast action. It sits in the Photography & Realism group of the catalog, which covers portraits, phone photography, film texture, and commercial photography. If your brief is closer to one of the neighbouring genres, the related templates at the bottom of this page are the faster route — picking the right template matters more than perfecting the wrong one.

The template

Copy the block, replace everything inside brackets with your own specifics, and delete any line that does not apply to your brief. The template text is published in Chinese, as it appears in the upstream catalog; the structure is what carries the value, so translating the labels into your own language changes nothing about how it works.

JSON version (agent-friendly)

Every Photography & Realism template shares one JSON block, which expresses the same kind of decisions as key–value fields rather than prose. Use it when a script, an agent or a form fills in the values, or when you want to change a single field between runs and see exactly what changed; swap the example values for your own.

{
  "type": "Hyper-realistic Photography",
  "subject": {
    "description": "A weary 30-year-old barista wiping a coffee cup",
    "details": "Subtle sweat on forehead, detailed skin pores, wearing a denim apron"
  },
  "setting": "Dimly lit vintage cafe, rain visible through the window behind",
  "camera_specs": {
    "gear": "Shot on Sony A7R IV, 50mm lens",
    "aperture": "f/1.4 (shallow depth of field, background completely blurred)",
    "lighting": "Cinematic lighting, neon sign reflecting on wet window, soft rim light on subject's hair"
  },
  "film_aesthetic": "Kodak Portra 400 emulation, subtle film grain"
}

How to fill it in

The block above asks you to make 7 explicit decisions before you send anything. That is the point of a template: the decisions you do not make are made for you, and in image generation the defaults are what produce work that looks generic.

Describe the exact instant — the moment the cup tips, the second before the bag lands — and say where the camera is, roughly, in height and distance. Candid photography is defined by its viewpoint.

Add negative constraints against posed expressions and advertising lighting. Those two defaults are what turn a candid brief into a commercial one.

• Describe the exact moment, camera height, motion blur, and street context.
• Add negative constraints for staged poses and fake ad lighting.

A working order for the whole thing: fill the structural slots first (subject, layout, format), then the visual ones (palette, light, material), then the text that has to appear verbatim, and only then the mood words. Run it once, change one field, run it again — a template you iterate one variable at a time tells you which variable did the work, which a rewritten prompt never does.

Common mistakes

Compositions that are too clean betray the frame: a perfectly centred subject on an uncluttered street is a staged photograph, and the template exists to avoid exactly that.

Implausible events are the other failure. Keep the physics ordinary and the setting specific; a grounded mishap is far more convincing than a spectacular one.

• Avoid too-clean compositions.
• Keep the event plausible and grounded.

Example results

These are the public posts this template was distilled from: the creator shared the image and the prompt behind it, and the recurring structure across cases like these became the block above. Each card links back to its source, and a public post is not a licence to reuse the image.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from the general realistic photography template?

The photography block briefs optics and light for any subject. This one narrows to a candid event, so it puts the moment, camera height, motion blur and anti-staging constraints first.

Should the image include motion blur?

Usually yes — a small amount reads as a hand-held camera reacting to something. The block has a slot for it, so state the amount rather than leaving it to chance.

Is the Street Accident Moment template free to use?

Yes. The template text comes from the open-source awesome-gpt-image-2 catalog by freestylefly, published under the MIT licence, and PicGens reproduces it with credit. Copy it, fill in the brackets and paste it into whichever tool you run GPT Image 2 in.

What is the JSON version of the template for?

It carries the same decisions as key–value fields instead of prose, which is easier for an agent or a script to assemble programmatically and easier to diff when you iterate. Use the plain-text block when you are writing by hand and the JSON block when something else is filling in the values.

Why does this page show other Photography & Realism templates?

The upstream catalog groups its blocks by category, so every Photography & Realism template ships with the same set of 3 blocks. The one at the top of this page is the block that matches this template; the remaining 1 are kept collapsed in case a neighbouring variant fits your brief better.

Where do the example results come from?

They are public posts by creators who shared both the image and the prompt behind it, collected in the same open catalog. Each one links back to its source, and a public post is not itself a licence to reuse the image.
