Promptograph 

Promptograph is a term for an AI assisted image that is generated using text prompts.

It is a word coined by a Peruvian photographer and popularized by a German artist Boris Eldagsen who rejected a photography award for an image he created using AI.

A promptograph can look like a photograph, a drawing, a painting or anything else depending on the text prompt. It is different from photography which is the art or process of producing images by the action of light on a sensitive surface.

Show me the promptograph created using the text prompt: “a blue sky with white clouds and a rainbow”.

Promptography 

When an artist uses prompts to tell an AI image generator how to create a image or piece of art.

Images may look like a photograph but are not created using a camera so cannot be considered photography

His prompts were "ferret with a flamethrower" so the AI image generator created some crazy looking promptography.

Protography 

The setting up a shot that requires lighting, framing and positioning of subjects.

A studio shoot/behind the scenes of pictures that are professionally done compared to a picture from a click of a button flash digital camera on location

You can see the protography in these images, lighting has a mood, the background is colourful and the model is the delight to the centerpiece.

The protography from the digital SLR camera is beyond amazing.
