The prompt
Hyper-realistic commercial food photography of a premium omakase sushi platter on a matte black slate stone, featuring eight nigiri pieces — including otoro tuna with a glistening fat marbling, uni topped with microgreens, and engawa flounder — each hand-formed to perfection. A small ceramic dish of house ponzu with yuzu zest sits beside two dark chopsticks resting on a minimalist bamboo rest. Garnishes include shiso leaf, edible gold flake on the toro, and a single orchid blossom. Studio lighting uses a narrow strip softbox from the right at 30 degrees for specular highlights on the fish surface, plus a subtle blue-toned fill from the left. Shot at f/3.5, shallow depth of field, sharp focus on the front nigiri row. Colour palette: cool slate, obsidian, ivory fish, soy amber. Styled for a Michelin-star restaurant menu. Aspect ratio 3:2. 8K resolution.

How to use it
- Submit the prompt to Flux 1.1 via Replicate, fal.ai, or your preferred Flux-compatible interface at maximum resolution.
- Select the output with the sharpest specular highlight on the toro — this is the detail that signals quality to viewers.
- In post-processing, reduce blue channel +5 in shadows to cool the slate, and add a subtle vignette (strength 20%) to focus the eye on the centrepiece platter.
- Export at 2048px wide for Instagram feed; add the restaurant or account name as minimal white text in the lower-left corner.
Pro tips
- Flux 1.1 handles specular highlights on wet food surfaces (raw fish, glazes) better than Midjourney at default settings — lean into this with explicit lighting angle descriptions.
- Name specific fish cuts (otoro, uni, engawa) rather than generic 'sushi' — the model produces accurate visual representations of real cuts with correct colour and texture.
- If gold flake renders as a yellow blob, add 'ultra-thin edible gold leaf, translucent, crinkled texture' to sharpen the detail.
- Run the output through Topaz Photo AI Sharpen at 1× to recover micro-detail on fish textures before posting.
