Inputs to customise

  • subjectThe person, product, object, logo, or scene to generate.
  • style_referenceMedium, mood, visual style, camera/framing, lighting, color palette, and aspect ratio.
  • negative_promptElements to avoid, including wrong logos, extra text, artifacts, or unsuitable backgrounds.

Quality checks

  • The light source is explicitly positioned behind the subject (contre-jour) creating rim glow or petal translucency.
  • Translucency or halo effects are described explicitly rather than relying on the word 'backlighting' alone.
  • The background is described as bright or blown-out to contrast with the partially silhouetted subject.
