Example 2

A photorealistic product shot of a person holding a slim, light orange can of kane orange juice. The person is wearing a dark orange, fuzzy fleece zip-up hoodie patterned with light orange four-leaf clovers. Both hands are holding the can centrally in front of their torso, displaying perfectly manicured nails painted in a glossy orange polish. The can features an illustration of a sliced orange with green leaves. The background is a solid, moody dark orange, creating a striking monochromatic orange aesthetic. Soft, professional studio lighting, highly detailed. — Community example 1

Photorealistic candid street photography portrait of an elderly woman, expressive eyes looking directly at the camera, covering her mouth and nose with a tissue. She stands on a sun drenched coastal promenade with a wide angle lens distortion. Sharp foreground detail on her textured skin, windswept short blonde hair, and gold rings on her fingers, with a subtle zebra-patterned strap visible. A slightly blurred crowd of people walks behind her, creating a sense of spontaneous urban movement. Natural daylight illuminates her with cool sky tones contrasting with warm skin tones, at f/4, ISO 320. The composition captures raw emotional realism, an intimate human moment in a gritty documentary style, shot with a 28mm lens. Masterpiece candid composition with high clarity and natural color grading. — Community example 2

How it reads a prompt

The gallery prompts name the photographic subject, then the setting and light: a sunlit interior, a neon alley, food in natural light.

Settings that matter

Choose the aspect ratio before framing the shot. Attach reference images in Studio when you want to edit or combine images; the model accepts multiple image inputs.
