Portraits Prompts: Copy-Paste AI Image Prompt Library

A good portraits prompt specifies subject details (age, ethnicity, expression), lighting (soft, dramatic, Rembrandt), composition (close-up, profile, environmental), and style (photorealistic, cinematic, oil painting). Include camera/lens specs for photorealism.

For consistent faces, use PuLID face identity in FluxNote. Negative prompts fix common issues like deformed eyes or asymmetrical features.

Quick-start formula: [Subject description] + [Lighting/color] + [Composition] + [Style reference] + [Camera specs]. Example: '35yo East Asian woman with freckles, golden hour backlighting, medium close-up, Kodak Portra 800 film style, Canon EF 85mm f/1.2'.

Model-Specific Notes:

• FLUX.2 Pro: Use 'ultra-realistic skin texture' for pores/sweat
• GPT Image 1.5: Add 'DSLR photo' for natural depth of field
• Ideogram 3.0: Works best with 'typography overlay' for magazine covers
• Midjourney V7: Requires '--style 7b' parameter for consistent faces

Common Fixes:

• Asymmetrical eyes: Add 'perfect facial symmetry' to prompt
• Plastic skin: Use 'natural skin texture with pores and subtle imperfections'
• Flat lighting: Specify '3-point lighting setup' or 'Rembrandt lighting'
