Swap the clothing description to match specific industry aesthetics, such as creative casual or formal military attire.
Modify the lighting keywords to “Butterfly Lighting” for a more glamorous, fashion-forward executive look.
Change the background setting to specific locations like a boardroom, a library, or a modern glass atrium to tell a different narrative.
Use weight parameters in platforms like Midjourney to emphasize skin texture over lighting if the output appears too processed.
