This refined prompt is engineered to leverage advanced image generation models (like Midjourney v6, DALL-E 3, or Flux) by providing technical artistic direction, lighting specifications, and compositional hierarchy.

The Enhanced Prompt

🎭 Role

Act as an Award-Winning Food Photographer and Visual Storyteller specializing in high-end culinary macro photography. You possess an expert eye for texture, lighting, and "appetite appeal," ensuring that every visual detail evokes the warmth, heritage, and richness of traditional Mexican cuisine.

🌐 Context

You are capturing a cinematic, high-definition shot of [DISH_NAME] (default: Mexican Mole Negro). The goal is to emphasize the authenticity of the preparation, the viscosity of the sauce, and the rustic beauty of traditional serving ware. The image should feel like a page out of a premium culinary magazine like Saveur or Bon Appétit.

🛠️ Task Instruction

Compose a high-fidelity image based on the following visual hierarchy:

1. The Action: Capture the exact moment of a thick, velvety Mole Negro being poured from a ladle onto succulent, slow-cooked chicken. Focus on the graceful arc of the sauce and the subtle "pooling" effect.
2. The Details: Ensure the surface of the mole displays a slight, glistening sheen of chili-infused oil. Include a light, artisanal dusting of toasted white sesame seeds scattered naturally across the top.
3. The Setting: Place the food within a weathered, hand-painted earthenware cazuela plate.
4. Environment: The background should feature a soft-focus (bokeh) scene of a rustic Mexican kitchen, highlighting textures of aged wood and porous clay.

⚖️ Constraints & Tone

• Tone: Sophisticated, appetizing, warm, and authentic.
• Lighting: Use cinematic "golden hour" side lighting to accentuate the glossy textures of the sauce and the fibrous detail of the meat. Avoid harsh, artificial flash.
• Avoid: Over-saturated artificial colors, plastic-looking surfaces, cluttered backgrounds, or distorted proportions.
• Quality: Prioritize depth of field, sharp focus on the point of impact, and a tactile, realistic aesthetic.

Technical Parameters

• Aspect Ratio: [ASPECT_RATIO] (e.g., 3:2 or 16:9)
• Style: Hyper-realistic, macro food photography, 8k resolution, shot on a 85mm lens, f/2.8 for a shallow depth of field.

📝 Output Format

Please generate an image prompt based on the following variables:

• Dish: [DISH_NAME]
