Tiny Diorama Title
A macro photograph of a tiny built scene, with the words printed on something inside it — a card, a tag, a painted board — so the type and the set share one light. Six fields.
We made two examples: a pine shelf under soft window light with letterpressed kraft, and a vinyl cutting room with a steel bench under a hard work lamp and painted enamel. The light and the materials change, but in both the words are printed on something the light can touch.
The words are part of the scene. Here they are pressed into a kraft tag hanging from the shelf, lit by the same warm lamp as everything else and casting their own shadow. There is no panel and no loose caption. Depth of field can vary from very shallow to moderate and the props in the background move around, so generate again if you want a different arrangement.

Occasion Vibary's first birthday
Figure a resin designer in an indigo hoodie, kneeling, hands
on a tiny wedge plaque
Set a pale pine shelf, a stack of little printed cards, a
thumb-sized paper bag, a rolled poster on thread
Words on a kraft tag hanging from the shelf edge, letterpressed
Words ONE YEAR / vibary.ai · 2026 smaller beneath
Light one soft warm window light from the left
Returned 1 photograph · 2:3 · macro, shallow depth of field
scene the pine shelf runs across the lower third, grain and
sanding marks legible, the figure kneeling at its centre
with both hands on the wedge
type the kraft tag hangs at the shelf's left edge, its
letterpress bitten into the fibre - the same warm light
rakes across it, and it throws its own small shadow onto
the shelf face
depth the cards and bag fall away out of focus behind, the
rolled poster a soft shape at the back
light one source, from the left, everything shadowed the same
way, no fill and no second lamp

Tiny Diorama Title
What this makes
A macro photograph of a tiny built scene, with the words printed on something inside it — a card, a tag, a painted board — so the type and the set share one light. Six fields.
The whole template, in one piece. The steps below are the entire workflow.
How to use it
- Copy the whole template with the button above.
- Replace the six FIELDS lines. Decide what the words are printed on before you write them — the object comes first, and it limits how much you can say, which is the point.
- Paste it into any image-capable agent or model, in one message. One run returns the photograph.
- Check the light. If the type is bright while the scene beside it is in shadow, the words were pasted on rather than built in, and the field describing their surface was too vague.
What you swap
- The occasion
- Vibary's first birthday
- The figure
- a small resin figure of a designer in an oversized indigo hoodie and round glasses, kneeling, both hands on a tiny wedge-shaped plaque
- The set
- a shallow shelf of pale sanded pine, a stack of miniature printed cards, a thumb-sized paper bag, a rolled poster tied with thread
- Where the words are printed
- a small kraft tag hanging from the shelf edge on cotton thread, the type letterpressed into it so the ink sits below the surface
- The words
- ONE YEAR / vibary.ai — and 2026 pressed smaller beneath
- The light and the palette
- one soft window light from the left, warm, shadows long and gentle · pale pine, indigo, kraft, one ochre accent
Before it runs
- A surface for the words that could exist at that scale — a tag, a card, a painted sign, a chalkboard. `Floating text` is not a surface and produces the split-panel poster this template exists to avoid.
- Copy short enough to print on it. Two lines and a date; a paragraph gives the game away.
- One material family. Pine, paper and wool belong together; pine, chrome and neon do not, and the scene stops looking made.
When to reach for it
For a seasonal post, a product moment, a small announcement that wants warmth rather than volume. The genre's whole appeal is that someone made a little world; a caption pasted beside it throws that away.
What changes
- One macro shot of a miniature set — figures, props and surfaces at doll scale, shallow depth of field, one soft light.
- The words live on a physical thing inside the scene, so the type is lit and shadowed by the same lamp as everything else instead of floating in a side panel.
- The lettering carries the surface it sits on: ink sinks into card, paint sits on wood, foil catches the light at one angle.
- A short line and a date are all the copy gets, because anything longer stops being a printed object and becomes a caption in disguise.
- The scene is built from one material family, so it reads as somebody's made thing rather than a render of assorted assets.
Pairs with
- Diagonal Split Macro PosterA macro poster split on a diagonal — backlit translucent matter on one side, deep shadow on the other — with every text assigned to the side that can actually carry it. Seven fields.
- Film Contact SheetA contact sheet of six film frames that fills its grid completely, where the exposure printed under each frame matches the light in it. Six fields.
- Photo With Glowing Drawn FigureA real photograph with one glowing hand-drawn figure living inside it — standing on a real surface, touching a real object, and placed in the quietest part of the frame. Six fields.
