Before You Generate

Note 1

Start with a sharp reference image. This prompt is written to preserve source identity, silhouette, or product structure before stylization.

Note 2

Use 3:4 on the first run, then test alternate crops after the base composition is working.

Note 3

Lock the environment before fine styling changes: ultra-realistic cinematic portrait of the same young man (keep facial features identical), seated on porch...

Best For

  • Portrait studies, beauty concepts, and tightly framed editorial references.
  • Reference-image workflows where identity, product shape, or silhouette should survive the restyle.
  • Cinematic, mood-first outputs where light direction carries a lot of the final image quality.

Skip This Prompt If

  • You need a wide environment shot or multiple subjects competing for attention in the same frame.
  • You need to begin with a radically different crop than 3:4 instead of honoring the existing composition hints.
  • Your reference image is low-resolution, badly lit, or cluttered enough to break subject preservation.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Ignoring the recommended 3:4 crop on the first run. The prompt's composition cues were written for that frame.
  • Using a muddy reference image and expecting the prompt to repair identity, silhouette, or packaging structure on its own.
  • Dropping the lighting or backdrop cues too early. Those clauses usually carry most of the mood and depth.
