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.
- 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.
- Studio Lighting
- Controlled artificial light (softboxes, rim lights) — clean shadows and highlight control, the standard look of commercial portrait and product work.
- Low Key
- Predominantly dark frame with selective highlights — moody, dramatic, and very sensitive to where the light source is placed in the prompt.
- Portrait Orientation
- Vertical aspect ratio (e.g. 3:4, 9:16) — the native format for phone screens, Stories, and app store screenshots.
- 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.
