💡 Tips for Better Results
Referencing a specific fashion photographer's style (e.g., 'in the style of Helmut Newton') provides a strong visual anchor that AI models can interpret effectively. Be extremely specific about the garment construction—words like 'deconstructed,' 'oversized,' 'tailored,' and 'draped' produce dramatically different results. Pair complementary mood and lighting choices; for example, 'melancholic' mood pairs well with 'desaturated cool tones' and 'soft diffused light.'
