1. JSON Structured Prompting
JSON prompts give you pinpoint control over the scene. They’re perfect for production workflows, UI tools, and batch automation.
Base JSON Template
{"scene":"overall scene description","subjects":[{"description":"details about the subject","position":"placement in frame","action":"movement or gesture"}],"style":"overall artistic style","color_palette":["#hex1","#hex2","#hex3"],"lighting":"lighting description","mood":"emotional tone","background":"environment and details","composition":"shot framing","camera":{"angle":"camera angle","lens":"lens type or focal length","depth_of_field":"focus behavior"}}
Example: Product Shot Build-Up
Base: Single Product — Over-Ear Wireless Headphones (Hero Product Shot)
{"scene":"Minimal studio product shot on a clean matte-black surface with subtle vignette","subjects":[{"description":"Premium over-ear wireless headphones with matte graphite shells, soft black leather headband, and brushed-silver accents; subtle breathable mesh on ear cushions","pose":"stationary","position":"center foreground, slightly angled to show earcup and headband curve","color_palette":["#1F2124","#BDBFC3","#0A0A0A"]}],"style":"high-end commercial product photography with crisp detail","color_palette":["#1F2124","#BDBFC3","#0A0A0A"],"lighting":"two softbox rim lights plus a soft top fill giving gentle specular highlights, no harsh shadows","mood":"luxury, technical, calm","background":"deep matte-black studio backdrop with soft floor reflection","composition":"centered hero with three-quarter view","camera":{"angle":"eye-level, slight tilt to right","distance":"medium close-up","focus":"sharp focus on earcup texture and headband stitch","lens-mm":85,"f-number":"f/4","ISO":100},"Cinematic_Tone_And_Lighting_Key":"Painterly texture with expressive rim lighting; color grading leans into cool cyan midtones with soft magenta fill in shadows, tonal direction inspired by vivid, emotional color storytelling (magenta, violet, neon red, cyan, pink accents). Maintain slight filmic grain and painterly gradients for depth."}
Step 2 — Add Second Color Variant (Two-Product Layout)
{"scene":"Minimal studio product shot on a clean matte-black surface with subtle vignette","subjects":[{"description":"Matte graphite over-ear headphones with brushed-silver accents","pose":"stationary","position":"left foreground","color_palette":["#1F2124"]},{"description":"Second pair: matte cream-white variant with champagne-gold accents","pose":"stationary","position":"right foreground, slightly behind the graphite pair","color_palette":["#F7F5F2","#D4B886"]}],"style":"commercial product photography, paired hero shot","color_palette":["#1F2124","#F7F5F2","#D4B886"],"lighting":"balanced softbox key with a faint warm kicker to the cream pair and cool rim for the graphite pair","mood":"premium & versatile","background":"deep matte-black with soft center vignette","composition":"symmetrical two-product composition, slight depth separation","camera":{"angle":"eye-level, slight high tilt","distance":"medium","focus":"both pairs in focus (f/5.6)","lens-mm":85,"f-number":"f/5.6","ISO":100},"Cinematic_Tone_And_Lighting_Key":"Same painterly, expressive rim lighting; maintain cyan-magenta tonal accents—apply warmer magenta-to-gold highlight on the cream pair while preserving cool cyan rim on the graphite set to create complementary color contrast."}
{"scene":"Indoor modern living-room scene with shallow depth-of-field; model seated on a low sofa listening to music","subjects":[{"description":"Female model (late 20s) wearing the matte graphite headphones, relaxed smile, casual outfit","pose":"seated, slight lean forward, hand resting on earcup","position":"center-left, foreground","color_palette":["#1F2124","#E6E6E6","#8A8D90"]},{"description":"Headphones product placed on a coffee table nearby for a close-up shot element","pose":"stationary","position":"right foreground","color_palette":["#1F2124"]}],"style":"lifestyle product photography, warm and inviting","color_palette":["#1F2124","#EDEDED","#C7CED6"],"lighting":"natural window key (soft daylight) plus warm interior fill; bokeh lights in background","mood":"cozy, premium, everyday luxury","background":"softly blurred living room with plants and warm decor","composition":"model as primary story, product secondary — shallow depth (f/2.8)","camera":{"angle":"slightly above eye-level","distance":"medium","focus":"sharp focus on model's face and headphone detail, soft background","lens-mm":50,"f-number":"f/2.8","ISO":200},"Cinematic_Tone_And_Lighting_Key":"Painterly warm daylight with cool cyan fill in shadows; soft magenta midtone roll-off for emotional warmth and expressive color contrast."}
2. Hex Color Code Prompting
Hex colors ensure brand-accurate assets. FLUX.2 follows hex values extremely well when assigned to objects.
Basic Usage
The packaging uses color #F22E63The background gradient starts at #090979and ends at #4BC6FF
Gradient Example
Prompt: “A flower vase with a smooth gradient from #47FF8A to #E0FF47, placed on a wooden table. The flowers are bright pink (#FF008C), and the room is softly lit.”
💡 Always tie hex codes to specific elements for maximum accuracy.
3. Infographics & Typography
FLUX.2 can produce clean, readable, professional infographic layouts.
Infographic Template
{"type":"infographic","title":"Your Main Title","subtitle":"Supporting information","sections":[{"heading":"Section Title","content":"Description or stats","visual":"icons or charts"}],"color_scheme":["#primary","#secondary"],"style":"minimal, modern"}
Example Prompt
{"type":"infographic","title":"The Future of Electric Vehicles","subtitle":"Global adoption rates, charging growth, and environmental impact","sections":[{"heading":"Market Growth","content":"EV sales projected to reach 40% of all car sales by 2030","visual":"upward trending line chart"},{"heading":"Charging Infrastructure","content":"Fast-charging stations increased by 180% since 2020","visual":"charging station icon set"},{"heading":"Environmental Impact","content":"EVs can reduce lifetime CO₂ emissions by up to 65%","visual":"globe + leaf eco icons"}],"color_scheme":["#1A73E8","#E3F2FD","#34A853"],"style":"clean, modern, corporate with clear typography, neatly aligned vertical sections"}
4. Multi-Language Prompting
FLUX.2 understands languages naturally. You can prompt in the language that best represents the cultural setting.
