FLUX Prompts That Get Photoreal Results

Candid portrait of [subject], golden-hour backlight, 85mm lens at f/1.8, shallow depth of field, soft rim light on the hair, natural skin texture, shot on Kodak Portra 400, subtle film grain

FLUX reads camera language literally. Naming the lens, aperture and film stock steers it toward a real photograph instead of the glossy AI default.

Studio headshot of [subject], single softbox key light at 45 degrees, seamless charcoal backdrop, 105mm lens, crisp catchlights, natural pores and stray hairs, high-end retouch look

Real hairs and pores are the tell that separates a photo from AI. Asking for them plus a specific light setup gives FLUX a concrete scene to render.

Documentary street photo of [subject] walking, overcast diffused light, 35mm lens, motion in the background, candid expression, muted colors, shot on Fujifilm

35mm plus overcast light plus candid framing is how real reportage looks. Muted color and a film brand keep FLUX from over-saturating.

[Product] on a seamless white background, soft even studio lighting, gentle contact shadow, 100mm macro lens, tack-sharp focus, true-to-life color, ecommerce hero

White-background catalog shots need even light and a soft contact shadow to sit right. Macro plus sharp focus gives the crisp detail buyers expect.

Cinematic wide shot of [scene], single dramatic light source, volumetric haze, deep shadows, teal-and-amber grade, anamorphic 2.39:1, film grain

Minimal poster with the word [TEXT] in bold clean sans-serif, high contrast, centered, generous negative space, print-ready
