Frequently Asked Questions

What does 'rim light' mean?

Rim light is a lighting technique where light hits the subject from behind and slightly to the side, creating a bright outline or 'rim' along the edges of the hair and shoulders. Here it's specified as red for dramatic effect.
Why specify '85mm lens' and 'shallow depth'?

85mm is a classic portrait focal length that flatters facial features. Shallow depth of field blurs the background, keeping focus 100% on the face. AI models trained on photography understand these terms and replicate the look.
The prompt says 'gentle smile' and 'serious side look' — which one wins?

The stronger instruction is 'serious side look profile looking left'. The smile instruction may be ignored or produce a neutral expression. For best results, remove one or the other.
