Think through demanding photo generation, one element at a time.
Method Photo is a prompt design and management app for people who care about the details of AI photo generation.
Write a prompt, generate an image, and turn the result into an asset for the next generation. That whole cycle lives in one app, and an AI assistant works alongside you at every step so you can run it fast.
▼ Break a photo down into its elements
Instead of describing the photo you want in one long sentence, Method Photo lets you split it into the elements that make up a photograph: composition, lighting, color, camera, and more.
You organize your thinking field by field and assemble the prompt from the parts.
These fields are included by default:
・Base prompt
・Aspect ratio
・Color & tone
・Color temperature
・Time of day
・Weather
・Scene & location
・Camera angle
・Composition
・Lighting
・Lens
・Camera
・Texture
・Subject & motif
・Mood
・Options
・Negative prompt
Each field comes with a starter set of options, so begin by combining what is already there. Once you are comfortable, add or edit fields and options freely, or build your own prompt template from scratch.
▼ Keep the choices that worked
"Backlighting gave it exactly the mood I wanted."
"That framing pulled the whole balance together."
Method Photo lets you carry discoveries like these into your next generation.
Save a keyword you liked as an option and it is ready to reuse the next time you write a prompt. The more you use the app, the more of your own tried-and-true keywords and phrasings accumulate, and the easier it becomes to build prompts that match your taste.
▼ Look up past results from a keyword
"What did backlighting actually look like last time?"
Sometimes you remember a keyword but not what it did to the image. Search from the keyword and see every past image that used it, so effects that are hard to judge from words alone are tied to real results.
▼ Turn each generation into an asset
Rate prompts on a five-star scale, assign tags, and keep the generated image as a thumbnail, so every generation is kept as an asset.
These ratings and tags are more than bookkeeping. They are also learning data for the AI features: with this record, the AI can narrow down relevant themes for your request and pick options closer to your preferences based on your ratings.
▼ Let the AI run the cycle with you
The AI can accompany the whole cycle of prompt design, image generation, and tagging.
"I want a photo like this. What should the prompt be?"
"I generated one with the current prompt, but the composition feels off. How should I fix it?"
"Suggest tags for this photo."
Ask, and the AI answers the question at hand. If you like the proposed prompt or tags, apply them to the app with one click, and you can ask it to generate the photo right away.
The AI's prompt suggestions also draw on your past generations as a database: it favors options used in highly rated photos and options used under similar tags, so the more you use Method Photo, the more precise its suggestions become.
