Expert Usage Tips
Adjust the focal length (e.g., 35mm for environmental, 85mm for tight portraits) to drastically change the subject’s perspective and background compression.
Modify the lighting keywords (e.g., “Rembrandt” to “Butterfly” or “Split lighting”) to alter the mood and intensity of the portrait immediately.
Use “Kodak Portra” or “Fujifilm” references to influence the color science and grain structure for a more authentic film-stock appearance.
Incorporate specific fabric textures like “raw silk” or “brushed wool” to add tactile depth and realism to the subject’s clothing.
If using Midjourney, append –ar 4:5 or –ar 2:3 to the end of the prompt to achieve standard portrait aspect ratios preferred in high-end magazines.
