Close shots of a sushi chef’s hands slicing your fish in one smooth motion, pressing rice into shape, placing the slice on top and brushing on soy, on a clean wooden counter in soft overhead light, with calm, precise movements.
Sushi preparation is admired for precision, so the prompt asks for one smooth cut, careful shaping of the rice and a fine brush of soy. Soft overhead light and a clean wooden counter keep the frame calm, and subtle knife sounds make it satisfying. Close shots on the hands put the craft, not the chef’s face, at the centre.
The knife saws back and forth.
Fix: Ask for one long, smooth pulling cut, which is how sushi knives are used.
- The hands look clumsy or have extra fingers. As the tip says, add “precise, calm movements” and keep the hands large and clear in frame.
- The fish looks dull. Name the fish and its colour, such as “salmon with white fat lines”, and ask for a fresh sheen.
Ask for a temaki hand roll being rolled in seaweed instead, with the fillings tucked in and the cone held up to the camera.
