Macro photograph of a Lego astronaut minifigure planting a tiny Lego flag on a miniature Lego Mars base, 16:9 landscape format. A small Lego rover with translucent orange wheels parked nearby. Glossy ABS plastic texture with visible injection mold seam lines on every brick. Classic Lego colors — white spacesuit, red planet surface, blue flag. Cinematic side-lighting highlighting the plastic sheen, tilt-shift macro lens with shallow depth of field.Prompt Variations
Section titled “Prompt Variations”Macro photograph of a Lego minifigure depicting [SUBJECT — e.g., a pirate captain with a black tricorn hat and hook hand], 1:1 square portrait format. Tight crop from chest up showing the printed torso detail and facial expression. Glossy ABS plastic texture with visible injection mold seam lines. Classic bright Lego primary colors. Shot against a softly blurred brick-built [ENVIRONMENT — e.g., ship deck with Lego barrel and treasure chest]. Cinematic studio lighting highlighting the plastic sheen. Shallow depth of field with tack-sharp focus on the minifigure face.Macro photograph of Lego minifigures in a dynamic action scene — [SCENE — e.g., two knights jousting on Lego horses in front of a Lego castle], 16:9 landscape format. Every element constructed entirely from Lego bricks — horses, lances, castle walls, ground plate. Glossy ABS plastic texture with visible injection mold seam lines on every brick.

Section titled “Image-to-Image Transformations”Using the attached photo as reference, recreate the entire scene as a Lego diorama. Convert every person into a Lego minifigure — preserve their clothing colors and hairstyles as printed Lego details. Rebuild the environment entirely from Lego bricks. Maintain the original composition and lighting direction. Glossy ABS plastic texture with visible injection mold seam lines on every piece.

Section titled “Tips & Best Practices”- The magic phrase: “Glossy ABS plastic texture with visible injection mold seam lines” is what makes it look like real Lego rather than generic 3D blocks.
- Use real Lego part names: “Translucent 1×1 round plate,” “2×4 brick,” “minifigure head with printed face” — these terms ground the AI in actual Lego vocabulary.
- Lighting sells it: Macro photography of real Lego uses dramatic side-lighting that catches the plastic sheen. Specify “cinematic side-lighting highlighting the plastic sheen” for best results.
- Shallow depth of field: Real Lego macro photos always have dramatic bokeh. Never skip “shallow depth of field” — it’s what makes tiny Lego look cinematic.
- Common pitfalls: Avoid “Lego-style” (too vague) — instead specify actual Lego elements. Don’t mix real objects with Lego; the whole scene should be bricks.
- Pairs well with: Minecraft / Voxel (similar toy aesthetic, different geometry), Miniature People (similar macro photography charm)
