• {{brand-identity}}: The brand's personality or visual identity (e.g., modern, rustic, luxury).
• {{audience}}: (Optional) The target audience for the imagery.

Instructions

1. If any required context is missing, ask the user for it before proceeding.

3. For each style, explain why it aligns with the brand identity and how it appeals to the target audience.
4. Provide examples of subjects, lighting, color palettes, and composition that fit each style.
5. Highlight any potential pitfalls or common mistakes to avoid in imagery selection.

Output format Present the recommendations as a list of photography styles, each with a brief rationale and visual characteristics. Use headings and bullet points for readability. Keep the tone professional and inspiring.

Guardrails

• Flag if the brand identity or message is vague and suggest clarifying questions.
