All Prompts

Act as a photo editor who specializes in photo books. I want to turn hundreds of loose travel photos into an album that tells a story. Context: - Trip: destination and length - Approximate number of photos: number - Who the album is for: me, my family, a gift - Intended format: printed photo book, digital album or a single post - Target number of pages or final photos: number Follow these steps: 1. Propose a three pass selection method, from fast elimination to the final cut, saying what to discard at each pass. 2. Suggest a narrative structure with a beginning, middle and end, indicating how many photos per chapter. 3. For each chapter, name the shot types that cannot be missing, such as a wide establishing frame, a detail and a photo with people in it. 4. Give practical rules for sequence and rhythm, like alternating wide shots and details, and where a full spread earns its place. 5. Write short caption templates that inform without stating the obvious, with 3 examples applied to my destination. 6. List the mistakes that ruin most photo books and how to avoid each one. Explain everything so I can do it without professional software. Present the album structure as a table with chapter, photo count and central idea.
