Expert Usage Tips
Adjust the focal length (e.g., 35mm for environmental, 85mm for classic portrait) to change the compression and field of view.
Modify the color grading terms (e.g., ‘cool shadows’ vs ‘warm shadows’) to shift the emotional tone of the golden hour lighting.
Add specific clothing materials like ‘raw silk’ or ‘distressed denim’ to enhance the hyper-realistic texture rendering of the subject.
Use the ‘bokeh’ intensity keywords to control how much the background distracts from or complements the subject.
Experiment with time-of-day modifiers like ‘late golden hour’ for longer shadows or ‘early golden hour’ for softer, higher-key light.
