Mastering Lighting: The "Rembrandt" Secret

In formal outfit photoshoots, lighting is what separates an amateur from a pro. By adding Rembrandt lighting to your prompt, you tell the AI to create a small triangle of light on the shadowed side of the face. This creates depth and a "leader" persona instantly.

Lens Settings for AI Headshots

• 85mm Lens: Use this for tight headshots to avoid facial distortion.
• f/1.8 or f/2.8: These keywords ensure a "blurry background" (bokeh) that keeps the focus on you.
• 105mm: Best for "Power Portraits" with extreme facial detail.
