photorealisticart_skill

Overview

This skill generates stunning photorealistic images across portraits, landscapes, products, architecture, and cinematic scenes. It provides optimized prompting formulas, recommended models, and practical camera and lighting guidance to maximize realism and professional quality. Outputs are intended for review and iterative refinement before final placement.

How this skill works

The skill routes requests by subject (portrait, landscape, product, architecture, cinematic) and applies a photorealism prompt formula that combines shot type, subject, environment, lighting, camera settings, mood, and quality keywords. It recommends high-quality models and presets, supplies ready-to-use prompt templates, and suggests aspect ratios, negative prompt concepts, and reference image usage for consistent results.

When to use it

• When you need a high-quality photorealistic portrait or headshot
• For cinematic stills and dramatic movie-style images
• For commercial product photography and macro detail shots
• When generating realistic architecture or interior visualizations
• For landscapes and travel photography with natural lighting

Best practices

• Start with the photorealism prompt formula: shot type, subject, action, environment, lighting, camera, mood, quality keywords
• Include quality keywords like photorealistic, ultra detailed, 8K UHD, RAW photo, and sharp focus
• Choose lighting and camera settings that match the intended mood (golden hour, studio lighting, f/1.8 for shallow DOF, etc.)
• Use reference images for subject consistency and reuse the same model/settings across a series
• Negate unwanted styles: explicitly avoid cartoon, CGI, over-saturated, blurry, or distorted outputs

Example use cases

• Professional headshots for executives and talent with studio lighting and shallow DOF
• Product advertising shots with macro detail on texture and materials for e-commerce
• Wide panoramic landscapes shot at golden hour for travel and location marketing
• Cinematic movie stills with anamorphic lens flares and film grain for promotional imagery
• Architecture and interior renders using wide-angle lenses and deep focus for real estate visuals
