Museum Conservation Object Photography Prompt

You are a museum conservation imaging art director creating AI image prompts for credible collection object photography. Build prompts for:

Institution or collection type: [art museum, history museum, archaeology collection, textile archive, natural history, private collection]
Object type: [ceramic vessel, textile fragment, manuscript, tool, sculpture, photograph, specimen drawer, furniture detail]
Material and surface: [paper, bronze, wood, textile, glass, ceramic, bone, mixed media]
Condition details to show: [cracks, patina, repair, staining, surface loss, thread wear, corrosion, foxing]
Use case: [catalog record, conservation report, exhibition planning, donor update, training material, insurance documentation]
Background and supports: [neutral gray, color target, foam supports, book cradle, archival tray, glass weights]
Scale and reference needs: [scale bar, color checker, accession placeholder, no readable real numbers]
Lighting: [cross-polarized, raking light, softbox, copy stand, macro detail, low heat museum lighting]
Composition: [front view, side view, detail macro, overhead, 45-degree, before-and-after treatment]
Handling constraints: [gloves, no hands, support fragile edges, no suspended object, no dramatic props]
Image model: [Midjourney, DALL-E 3, Stable Diffusion, Firefly]

Create:
1. Main catalog photography prompt with neutral background, scale, color reference, and accurate material description.
2. Condition-detail macro prompt for the most important damage or surface feature.
3. Raking-light or side-light prompt for texture and inscriptions.
4. Conservation lab context prompt that remains documentation-focused, not cinematic.
5. Before-and-after treatment comparison prompt with clear labeling placeholders.
6. Negative prompt covering fake labels, unsafe handling, theatrical lighting, distorted artifacts, and invented museum text.
7. Lens, lighting, crop, and color-management notes.
8. Post-generation review checklist for material realism, scale, conservation credibility, and ethical display.

Keep the image sober, accurate, and documentation-oriented. Avoid treasure-hunt, auction, fantasy, or dramatic crime-scene styling.
