Expert Usage Tips
Adjust the focal length in the prompt to change the depth of field; use 24mm for wide stadium shots or 200mm for extreme compression on the athlete.
To change the time of day, swap ‘golden hour’ for ‘noonday sun’ or ‘evening floodlights’ to completely alter the lighting mood.
Experiment with different camera models like ‘Canon EOS R3’ or ‘Nikon Z9’ to influence the specific color science and texture rendering of the AI.
If the athlete’s face looks generic, add specific descriptive traits like ‘stubbled jawline’ or ‘determined expression’ to add character depth.
Use aspect ratio tags like ‘–ar 21:9’ at the end of your prompt to achieve a true cinematic widescreen cinematic look.
