[SUBJECT: who], [STYLE (what medium): photorealistic, 35mm film, anime, soft watercolor, oil painting], [LIGHT: soft morning light / golden hour / harsh flash / candlelight]. Add one mood word at the end.
Prompt quality collapses when users stack adjectives. Forcing three distinct axes (subject / style / light) plus one mood anchor is enough to produce consistent results without overwhelming the diffusion model.
Composition: [SPECIFIC POSE: leaning against a doorframe, one shoulder touching / sitting cross-legged on the bed, elbows on knees / standing in profile, looking back over shoulder]. Describe the pose in 6-10 words with body-part anchors, not abstract mood words.
Diffusion models generate poses from captioned photo datasets, which describe bodies in concrete part-and-position language. 'Leaning against a doorframe' generates reliably; 'feeling relaxed' doesn't. Body-part anchors (shoulder, elbow, knee) act like keypoints the model latches onto.
Environment: [ONE SPECIFIC PLACE: a kitchen with morning light through a single window / a hotel bathroom with greenish fluorescent lighting / a car interior at night, parking lot outside]. Include one light source, one surface, one background object.
Diffusion models render environments well when given the light-source / surface / background-object triad because that matches how scene captions are typically structured in training data. Vague settings ('a cozy room') produce averaged slop; the triad produces specific, coherent scenes.
"Photograph of [SUBJECT], [SHOT TYPE: headshot / three-quarter / full body], shot on [CAMERA + LENS: Canon 5D with 85mm / Sony A7 with 50mm / Hasselblad], [LIGHT: natural window light / softbox key + fill]. Shallow depth of field. Skin texture visible." No painting/illustration words.
Photo-realism degrades when you mix photography terms with art terms: the model averages between modes. Sticking strictly to camera/lens/light/depth-of-field vocabulary and explicitly including 'skin texture visible' counteracts the smoothing bias most SDXL-era models have.
Light: "golden hour, low sun from camera-left, warm rim light on hair and jawline, shadow fall-off on the right side of the face, slight haze". Don't just say 'golden hour'. Specify direction, warmth, what it touches, and what it leaves in shadow.
'Golden hour' alone triggers a generic warm-orange preset. Specifying light direction (camera-left), affected surfaces (hair, jawline), shadow behavior, and atmosphere (haze) forces the model to render the physics rather than the stereotype. This matches how cinematographers actually describe light.
"Close-up portrait, face fills 60% of frame, sharp focus on eyes, shallow depth of field, background blurred to soft bokeh." Avoid full-body framing when facial consistency matters.
Full-body shots distribute pixel budget across the whole figure, which is why faces look melted at distance. Explicit close framing with 'face fills 60% of frame' and 'sharp focus on eyes' concentrates the model's rendering attention where it matters for character identity.
