## Prompting tips * **Describe the lighting explicitly** — *"soft natural window light"*, *"dramatic rim lighting"*, *"overcast studio"* significantly influence the photorealistic output quality. * **Use subject reference for campaigns** — For consistent character appearances across multiple images (product shots, brand campaigns), always upload a subject reference. * **Specify materials for product work** — *"brushed stainless steel"*, *"glossy ceramic"*, *"matte leather"* push the model toward more accurate material rendering. ### Example prompts > A woman in a red silk dress standing in a rain-soaked alley at night, neon reflections on the wet pavement, cinematic composition, shallow depth of field. > A luxury perfume bottle on a marble surface, soft diffused studio lighting, white background, product photography, ultra-detailed. 467fdfc1 7e84 4b08 8af6 9af02e022dd3
