Neon noir
I use it for night, rain, and reflections. Works in editorial and poster work.
Start: neon city street, wet reflections, cinematic — --ar 16:9 --stylize 280
Editorial realness
Soft light, texture, zero plastic. This is closest to what I reach for in portraiture.
Start: editorial portrait, soft window light, kodak portra — --ar 4:5 --stylize 180
Soft brutalism
Raw form in misty light. I love the emotional contrast.
Start: brutalist tower, overcast, fog — --ar 16:9 --stylize 150
Analog digital
Film simulations, grain, subtle artefacts. I don't overdo it — a little goes a long way.
Start: street candid, 35mm film, subtle grain — --ar 3:2 --stylize 160
Minimal posters
Negative space, simple forms, typography. This is where it's easiest to over-engineer — I keep it disciplined.
Start: minimal poster, bold shapes, strong negative space — --ar 4:5 --stylize 220
How I tie it into workflow
- Preset — 2–3 words + parameters (--ar, --stylize) saved as a fixed base.
- Series — 6–12 frames instead of a single shot.
- Context — I show the use case (poster, cover, lookbook), then the aesthetic makes sense.
