Compact-camera mirror selfie with direct flash, dark room and soft goth styling. What holds across two runs, what varies, and the one word it ignores.
Ground-level 24mm full-body fashion portrait against open sky, Korean outdoor fashion look. Needs a reference image for the composition.
Soft-light bedroom portrait in white lace, over-the-shoulder composition, Japanese lifestyle style. What holds across runs and what varies.
Every other prompt here begs for 4K and crisp detail. This one asks for compression artifacts, motion blur and flash hotspots — and that is exactly the point.
The shortest prompt in the collection, and the first that comes in two parts — the second of which is not a prompt at all, but a follow-up that edits the first.
The third prompt builds a character sheet, not a photograph — 21 panels of one invented woman. Its real subject is consistency, and it only half wins.
The second prompt in the collection runs 430 words across nine paragraphs and barely argues with anything. What that precision buys, and what it quietly costs.
I have started keeping the AI image prompts that actually work. This one was run twice and produced two different photographs — here is what survived the second roll.
