Best prompts for ChatGPT for image generation using photorealistic texture and material descriptions

12 copy-ready, photorealism-focused prompts that emphasize accurate textures, materials, micro-details, lighting and camera settings. Each entry includes a concise title, a short explanation of intent, a ready-to-use prompt, a realistic example or use-case, and recommended AIs for best results.

You've probably stared at another AI-generated image that looks more like plastic than reality, wondering why your "photorealistic" prompt produced something that screams artificial. The frustration hits when you need genuinely convincing textures and materials, but your AI keeps delivering that telltale glossy, fake look that immediately gives away its digital origins.
These 12 specialized prompts transform your AI image generation from obviously artificial to convincingly real by focusing on the micro-details that matter most: surface textures, material properties, and lighting behaviors that our eyes instinctively recognize as authentic. Each prompt targets specific materials like chrome, velvet, ceramic, and skin with precise technical language that coaxes AI models into rendering believable scratches, pores, reflections, and wear patterns. Instead of settling for generic "photorealistic" results, you'll generate images with the tactile quality and visual depth that make viewers do a double-take.
