Style Notes

Photo
Asks the model for photorealistic output — natural lighting, believable skin and materials, camera-like depth of field — rather than illustration or 3D looks.
Cinematic
Film-style rendering — widescreen framing, dramatic lighting contrast, graded colors (often teal-orange), and a sense of narrative in the scene.
Hero Portrait
A single dominant subject shot like a key visual — tight framing, strong eye contact or pose, background simplified so the character carries the image.
Dark & Moody
Low ambient light, deep shadows, desaturated or cool palette — atmosphere and mystery over clarity.
Low Key
Predominantly dark frame with selective highlights — moody, dramatic, and very sensitive to where the light source is placed in the prompt.
Close-up
Tight crop on the subject — texture and emotion over context; pairs naturally with high-detail and shallow depth of field.
Social Media Post
Composition and aspect ratio tuned for feeds (Instagram, X, Xiaohongshu): bold focal subject, room for overlay text, colors that survive small screens.
Marketing Campaign
Ad-ready imagery: clear product or message hierarchy, space reserved for copy and logos, and a polished commercial finish.
Wallpaper / Screensaver
Composed for a device screen: key elements kept clear of clock/icon zones, seamless edges, and colors that work at full-screen brightness.
