Expert Usage Tips
Use lower aperture values (f/1.4 – f/2.8) in the lens setting to create a professional bokeh effect.
Incorporate specific time-of-day keywords like “Golden Hour” or “Blue Hour” to force the model to render more natural light behavior.
Add “shot on 35mm film stock” to the prompt to introduce authentic film grain and organic color shifting.
If the subject looks too smooth, add “detailed skin texture with fine pores and subtle imperfections” to increase realism.
Always adjust the –ar parameter to match the intended final platform, such as 9:16 for TikTok/Reels or 16:9 for YouTube/Cinema.
