QT: Portraits via @EternaSky - Part 2 of 2 Portraits - Part 1 of 2: https://budgetpixel.com/p/53046 I think that the concept of trying to make the images look more "natural" comes across fine without losing the idea to make the woman look her best. One of my favorite topics is "Photographic Realism"; so for me the power of AI is, that you have an unlimited number of models to achieve that goal.

About this image

This cinematic warm portrait uses soft golden side lighting to highlight a confident woman with rich warm skin, long loose wavy black hair, and a gentle, calm direct gaze. She is styled with large silver dangle earrings, a delicate silver pendant necklace, and a caramel brown suede fringe top, set against a softly blurred earthen warm toned background. The aesthetic leans into bohemian, western-inspired styling, with rich earthy hues creating an intimate, elegant mood.

This intimate natural light portrait showcases a beautiful woman with voluminous dark curly hair, warm sun-kissed freckled skin, and a soft, calm direct gaze toward the camera. She wears a luxe ivory silk camisole with thin spaghetti straps, with soft grid window shadow lines falling across her skin against a neutral warm off-white interior wall. Warm golden hour lighting creates a serene, cozy luxury boudoir aesthetic, highlighting glowing natural skin texture and effortless, understated elegance.

This intimate, high-end editorial portrait features a poised, elegant Black woman with dark braided hair, wearing a lustrous gold satin collared shirt and textured gold drop earrings. Soft warm studio lighting highlights her rich deep skin tone, creating a luxurious, sophisticated mood against a blurred dark warm background. The polished shot exudes quiet confidence, timeless glamour, and refined luxury ideal for fashion and beauty editorial use.

Thanks so much. Too kind. I think that the main work is done by the AI model itself; my part is to define the ethnicity and age as detailed and accurate as possible. Once that is done, most models knows what I am looking for.

I recently use GPT almost entirely. Also I just created a blog post "Creating a More Natural Look in AI Portraits of Women: Photographic Realism Without Losing Beauty" that should be out in about 8 hours; when I am allowed to post again.

Good to know. If you don't mind me asking, which model did you use for #1? She's as close to perfect as I have seen.

Excellent. I love how you've captured their skin tones so perfectly. Simply beautiful. 👍
