5 prompts to achieve stunning images for your SME with AI
To help businesses make the most of this tool, iStock developed five specific prompts for SMEs.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed the way small and medium-sized businesses generate visual content, providing an unprecedented opportunity to create appealing images efficiently and at a low cost. This technology allows SMEs to strengthen their marketing and communication strategies without requiring large budgets.
To help businesses make the most of this tool, iStock, the leading platform in high-quality images and videos, developed five specific prompts for SMEs. Designed by experts, these prompts allow generating impactful visual content through their AI image generator.
A prompt is a detailed text description that guides AI in creating images, from hyperrealistic representations of products to innovative visual concepts for social media campaigns. According to Daniel Montoya, Senior Content Research Editor at iStock, the secret to obtaining high-impact images with AI lies in the precision of the words used.
"The key lies in choosing the right words. With the appropriate prompts, SMEs can do more with less: produce professional-quality visual content in minutes and without significant investments. Although AI doesn't replace human creativity, it certainly facilitates the production of images that were previously expensive or difficult to make," stated Montoya.

Prompt: An abstract artwork of a blurred and obscured woman with oversized pastel poppies of large size, with stems rising over and around her, painted in a 19th century Impressionist style. The colors merge and blend to create an obscured vision where the woman's eyes, mouth and skin merge and emerge into the ether through the abundance of light and shadow effects that invade the scene with a gleaming, sparkling and glowing atmosphere behind thin veiled washes of color: ethereal aesthetic, desaturated color palette, soft light. Filters: illustration.
With AI, it's not all about hyper-realistic photos, consider illustrations as a great medium for producing fresh and creative visual content.
