đź“– Step-by-Step Framework for AI Human Image Creation
1. Subject (The Foundation)
Start broad: Who or what is in the image?
Define the type of human: gender, age, ethnicity, physique, style.
Mention pose or activity (standing, sitting, walking, etc.).
Example: “A young woman in her late 20s with an athletic build, sitting on a wooden bench in an urban park.”
2. Detail (The Specifics)
Clothes: fabrics, colors, style, accessories.
Hair: length, texture, color, styling.
Face: eye color, makeup, expression.
Skin: tone, texture, freckles, tattoos, scars, piercings.
Extra objects: props they’re holding, environment textures.
Example: “She wears a cream silk blouse with soft folds, light wash denim jeans with a frayed hem, and minimal gold jewelry. Her hair is shoulder-length, wavy, deep chestnut brown with sun-kissed highlights. Soft natural freckles across her nose.”
3. Aesthetic (The Overall Style)
Define the visual vibe: futuristic, editorial, street style, studio, y2k, fantasy, etc.
Example: “A sleek, editorial fashion aesthetic, similar to a Vogue magazine cover.”
4. Lighting (The Atmosphere Builder)
Light type: soft, harsh, natural, spotlight, neon, candlelit.
Light placement: front, back, side, overhead.
Shadows: sharp, soft, moody, diffused.
Example: “Soft diffused natural light coming from the left side, casting gentle shadows across her cheekbones, with subtle golden hour tones.”
5. Camera Position & FX (The Cinematic Layer)
Camera angle: eye level, low angle, bird’s eye, over-the-shoulder, close-up, wide shot.
Subject reaction: looking into camera, candid, posed, unaware.
FX (optional): lens type (35mm, fisheye, telephoto), filters, film grain, bokeh, chromatic aberration.
Example: “Close-up portrait at eye level, subject looking directly into the lens with a confident expression. Captured with a 50mm prime lens, subtle film grain effect, slight golden tint filter.”
6. Mood (The Emotional Layer)
Define the feeling you want conveyed.
Examples: professional, cinematic, romantic, gritty, ethereal, edgy, editorial.
Example: “Mood: professional, elegant, and aspirational – like a luxury fashion campaign.”
