Fill in your 7 pillars

Every field is required. Not sure what to write? Copy the style of the example above each box.

1
Medium
Required
Type of image — photo, editorial, cinematic, 3D render, illustration.
Example Editorial-style close-up lifestyle portrait, shot on a full-frame mirrorless camera with an 85mm lens
2
Subject
Required
Who — age, skin tone, hair, features, clothing, accessories.
Example Woman in her mid 30s to early 40s, fair skin, straight blonde shoulder-length hair, wearing a beige ribbed knit top and a slim silver wristwatch
3
Action / Pose
Required
What they are doing — position, expression, hands, eye direction.
Example Seated with body angled slightly away, head tilted resting on her right hand, subtle closed-lip smile, direct eye contact with the camera
4
Environment
Required
Where — foreground, midground, background and depth.
Example Cozy bedroom — crisp foreground detail, softly blurred unmade bed in the midground, bright window with sheer white curtains behind
5
Mood / Style
Required
Emotional tone and colour treatment — always pair this with your lighting.
Example Soft and natural, calm and unposed, clean neutral colour palette with smooth tonal transitions
6
Lighting
Required
Source, direction, quality, temperature and shadow behaviour.
Example Diffused window light coming from behind and slightly to the side, soft highlights on the cheekbones, gentle shadow falloff, neutral daylight temperature
7
Human Texture
Required
Skin pores, imperfections, hair — the most skipped pillar, and the one that matters most.
Example Visible pores, micro imperfections, natural skin variation, fine facial hair, no smoothing, no beauty filter
WHY THIS PILLAR MATTERS Without it, the AI defaults to smooth, plastic-looking skin that instantly reads as AI-generated. With it, the character looks like a real photograph of a real person. Never skip it.

Private: Your files never leave this page — nothing is uploaded to any server. Attach the same file inside your AI tool and paste the generated prompt next to it.

Optional finishing touches

Leave these blank and we'll use safe defaults. They only fine-tune the output.

Copy the one you need and paste it straight into your AI tool.

Heads up — Pillar 7 was strengthened for you. Your Human Texture answer was too short or missing the realism keywords, so we merged in the proven texture block. This is what stops the skin looking plastic and fake.
