Expert Usage Tips
Use an aspect ratio of 4:5 or 9:16 for portrait-focused compositions to give the subject more presence in the frame.
Adjust the ‘stylize’ or ‘chaos’ parameters if using Midjourney to increase the surrealist elements of the background environment.
Incorporate specific lighting keywords like ‘Golden Hour’ or ‘Blue Hour’ to instantly alter the mood of the dreamscape.
Use the ‘–no’ parameter followed by unwanted elements like ‘text’ or ‘watermark’ to ensure a cleaner, professional output.
If the skin texture appears too smooth, add keywords like ‘pores’, ‘freckles’, or ‘fine skin texture’ to increase the hyper-realism.
