1. Stop Chasing Random “Cool Shots.”
- Cool is easy. Consistency is hard.
- Brands pay for visuals that look real and repeatable, not random experiments.
2. Learn Prompt Architecture.
- Think like a creative director: Who’s in the shot? What are they wearing? What’s the light? The emotion?
- Use detailed prompts that include:
- Subject details (face, hair, skin tone)
- Clothing textures and colors
- Background style and lighting
- Camera lens, angles, and depth of field
3. Master Lighting.
- Lighting makes or breaks realism.
- Study how real photographers use softboxes, natural light, rim lights, etc.
- Always specify lighting in your prompts.
4. Maintain Character Consistency.
- To keep the same face:
- Describe facial features precisely
- Use reference images if your tool supports it
5. Perfect Product Details.
- For products (jewelry, skincare, sneakers):
- Describe textures in detail: metallic, glossy, matte
- Define material reflections and surface imperfections
- Specify macro lenses for crisp product shots
6. Test Relentlessly.
