A practical playbook for Flux 2 Pro/Max with generated examples you can copy, remix, and run directly in PixelDojo.
Based on techniques from the official FLUX.2 prompting guide.
Flux 2 responds best when prompts are clear, ordered, and concrete. A reliable formula is: subject + action + style + context. Place critical details early, and describe what you want directly (instead of writing negative prompts).
Lead with subject and action, then add style and context. This improves composition reliability.
Flux gives more weight to earlier tokens, so put non-negotiable constraints first.
Flux 2 does not rely on negative prompting. Describe the desired outcome instead.
Use quoted strings for typography and map hex colors to exact objects for brand consistency.
Core prompt framework in a single sentence
Black cat hiding behind a watermelon slice, professional studio shot, bright red and turquoise background with summer mystery vibe.
Lead with your main subject and action first, then style and scene context for cleaner composition control.
Lens and camera details for realism
Soaking wet tiger cub taking shelter under a banana leaf in rainy jungle, close-up wildlife portrait, shot on Sony A7IV with 85mm lens at f/2.8, natural overcast light, cinematic detail.
Specific camera and lens cues usually outperform generic words like 'professional photo'.
Quoted text and explicit design direction
Groovy retro poster with the quote "If you love me let me sleep". Bold 70s typography in deep red and warm pink tones. Cream background, orange doodles, playful vintage layout, clean readable text.
Wrap must-render text in double quotes and describe layout style, not just the words themselves.
Brand-consistent color matching
A modern living room with warm terracotta walls in hex #C4725A, a large L-shaped sectional sofa in deep teal hex #1B6B6F, and golden amber hex #E8A847 accent pillows. Soft afternoon light, minimal editorial interior photography.
Associate each hex value with a specific object to avoid inconsistent color placement.
Production-style control with structured input
{ "scene": "Makeup flat lay on marble surface", "subjects": [ { "description": "eyeshadow palette with clean rectangular pans", "colors": ["#E91E63", "#9C27B0", "#673AB7", "#3F51B5"] }, { "description": "lipstick and compact mirror arranged around palette", "colors": ["#E91E63", "#3F51B5"] } ], "style": "beauty product photography", "lighting": "soft diffused overhead lighting" }
Use JSON when you need repeatable structure and precise control over multiple scene elements.
