What kind of photo works best for AI garden design?

The best photos for AI garden design are taken in daylight with the camera held at eye level, showing the area you want to redesign. A wide-angle shot that captures the full space gives the AI the most context to work with — it can see the boundaries, existing features, and the overall scale. Avoid heavy shadows or direct sunlight that washes out details; overcast days or open shade produce the most even lighting. Include some ground and some sky or background for context. Both landscape and portrait orientations work, but landscape tends to show more of the space. You can use photos of any outdoor area: front yards, backyards, side yards, patios, balconies, courtyards, driveways, or pool surrounds. The AI handles existing plants, fences, buildings, and other structures in the frame — it works around what is already there. Phone camera photos work perfectly; you do not need a professional camera.
