Photorealistic Portraits

Introduction
Generating photorealistic images with artificial intelligence
has long been a holy grail for AI
prompt engineers.
Stable Diffusion is an AI system
capable of creating stunning
photographic images directly
from text prompts.
In this book, I share my deep
research into crafting prompts
that reliably yield photorealistic
results with Stable Diffusion.
It took over 100 hours of meticulous experimentation, generating thousands of images
while iteratively refining
prompts.
I uncovered 133 distinct
keywords and modifiers that
each impart nuanced impacts
on image realism and quality.

Armed with these insights, I
crafted the perfect prompt
structure to coax Stable
Diffusion into producing
images indistinguishable from
photographs. This book reveals
those optimal prompts and
provides you the key ingredients
for photorealism.
Unlike guides focused on setting
up Stable Diffusion, this book
cuts straight to the most crucial
step - prompt engineering. I
illustrate the dramatic effects of
each photorealism tag with sideby-side image examples. You’ll
learn how to combine keywords
to infuse realism into landscapes,
portraits, still-life, and any image
category.
With these prompts, you’ll be
able to generate photorealistic
images showcasing your
own vision and creativity. The
prompts are like your photo
toolkit, giving you control over
every aspect of the image.
This book empowers you to
produce masterpieces with this
transformative new technology.
Let’s begin exploring how
carefully engineered prompts
can unlock Stable Diffusion’s full
potential for photorealistic art.
How To Use This Book
I introduce the importance
of prompt engineering and
how choosing a model can
effect your results.
I reveal the prompt structure
then each section of the
prompt has a chapter that
shows you the options you
can choose from.
Following this guide will
lead to more photorealistic
images.

LENS PROMPTS
In my experiments with Stable
Diffusion, I found that simply
specifying technical details like
focal length and f-stops did not
produce clearly distinguishable
differences in image generation. For example, results from
“50mm lens” vs “150mm lens”
prompts appeared identical.
This seems to indicate the AI
does not have a strong inherent
understanding of the nuanced
visual impacts from specific lens
optics.
However, prompting the use of
certain iconic, specialized lens
types did yield noticeable aesthetic effects. Referencing lenses
known for signature looks seems
more effective than focusing just
on specs.
While technical aspects like focal length and aperture do not
120
seem to influence Stable Diffusion, prompting the use of lenses with unique optical characteristics does impact the resulting
image style. And using general terms like “50mm portrait
lens” helps conjure a contextual
photographic look. Thorough
prompting research reveals
which specific details have the
most effect.
