Photography & Realism

Film Stocks & Camera Types

If you specify a concrete film name rather than a simple “Analog,” the AI reproduces the unique color tone of that film.

Kodak Portra, renders skin tones warm and soft

Fujifilm Velvia, very vivid and deep colors suitable for landscape photography

Kodachrome, rich colors like vintage magazine photos from the 70s–80s

Ilford, a black-and-white film with rough grain and strong contrast

CineStill, cinematic mood where streetlights bleed red in night shots

Lomography, highly saturated with vignetting, like a toy camera feel

Disposable camera, raw feel with flash-like burst and slightly blurry look

Pinhole camera, primitive photography with overall soft focus and dreamy feel

Instax, instant photo look that feels a bit more modern than Polaroid

Historical & Process

Gives a very old or unusual chemical development feel that modern digital cameras cannot produce.

Daguerreotype, 19th-century silver plate photography, looks like it’s printed on a metal plate, very old feeling

Tintype, rough black-and-white iron plate photos from the Civil War era with worn edges

Wet plate photography, irregular edges and an eerie mood as if capturing a soul

Cyanotype, blueprint, everything is rendered in blue tones

Infrared photography, surreal colors where leaves appear white and the sky appears black

Thermal imaging camera, special shooting that expresses color by temperature

X-ray, internal cross-sectional shot

Genres & Usage

If you specify “what the photo is for,” the composition and lighting setup are automatically determined.

Editorial, stylish fashion magazine spread style with storytelling

Commercial photography, a highly clean and attractive commercialized style of product or person

Street photo, capturing accidental and natural moments on the street

Candid shot, natural paparazzi-like feel where the subject is unaware of the camera

Wildlife photography, telephoto lens feel that vividly captures even each strand of animal fur

Architectural photography, grand building photos with perfectly aligned verticals and horizontals

Food photo, lighting setup that makes food look glossy and delicious

ID card/profile photo, clean portraits that convey trustworthiness

Mugshot, front/side photos for criminal identification

Paparazzi shot, rough and urgent feel as if secretly taken from afar

Tonal Styles #

The amount of light and contrast determines the weight of the photo.

High key, almost no shadows and an overall very bright and cheerful tone

Low key, mostly darkness with only part of the scene lit, giving a heavy tone

Silhouette, subject rendered dark due to backlighting

Desaturated, calm feeling as if the colors have faded

Vivid, very bright and intense colors

Cross processing, colors uniquely shifted by changing the developing chemicals

Monochrome, encompasses not only black and white but all single-tone photos
