Seedream 5.0 Lite Prompt Guide with 30 Ready-to-Use Prompts

Most creators underestimate how much the prompt matters in image generation. With Seedream 5.0, the gap between a good prompt and a great one shows up immediately in the output. This guide is for anyone who wants to close that gap faster.

In this article, you will find:

• The prompt structure here works across every category
• Style, composition, and lighting matter as much as the subject itself

Seedream 5.0 Prompt Structure

Subject + Composition + Style + Lighting + Technical Parameters

• Subject: what the image is about, one primary focus
• Composition: framing, angle, and layout
• Style: one visual anchor, a genre, medium, or era
• Lighting: source, quality, and color temperature
• Technical Parameters: resolution, finish, and exclusions

Seedream 5.0 searches automatically when your prompt includes recent dates, product names, events, or trending terms like “latest,” “2026,” “TikTok,” or “Super Bowl.”

Composite and High-Concept Photography Prompts

You can use this approach for technically complex images where a single frame needs to combine multiple locations, scenes, or visual systems. Use it when your brief goes beyond a simple subject, and you want to apply careful art direction across the entire image.

Search for the weather, temperature, and time on February 19, 2026, for the following locations: 1. Beijing, 2. New York, 3. Tokyo, 4. Sydney, 5. Madrid. High-concept composite photography. Note: only return ONE image. The image is composed of five seamlessly stitched vertical panoramic strips. Each strip presents the real-time weather and lighting of a specific location: Far left (Beijing): the Bird's Nest Stadium. Left-center (New York): vertical skyscrapers of Manhattan. Center (Tokyo): Tokyo Tower. Right-center (Sydney): the Opera House. Far right (Madrid): San Francisco el Grande Cathedral. Despite different weather conditions, use cinematic color grading to unify the image. High contrast, 8K resolution, photorealistic masterpiece.

Center-right panel: full summer, dense green canopy, bright direct midday sun, wildflowers in the foreground. Far right panel: late autumn, rich orange and red foliage, golden hour light, fallen leaves on the path. Seamless color transitions between each panel.
