Expert Usage Tips
Tip 1: Adjust the lens specification (e.g., 24mm vs 85mm) to drastically change the field of view and perspective distortion.
Tip 2: Add specific film stock names like “Kodak Portra 400” or “Fujifilm Velvia” to the prompt to influence the color science and grain structure.
Tip 3: Use aspect ratio flags like –ar 16:9 or –ar 9:16 at the end of your prompt to ensure the framing matches your specific delivery platform.
Tip 4: If the subject looks too clean, add “subtle skin texture, pores, and natural imperfections” to the prompt for increased photorealism.
Tip 5: Control the intensity of the light by adding modifiers like “harsh high-contrast light” or “soft diffused morning light” depending on the desired mood.
