I used a professional portrait setup featuring strong ambient backlighting and a lower reflector to bounce a soft "fill light" onto the subject's face. This creates the signature radiant glow and soft shadows. To achieve the Semi-Real look, the raw photos were post-processed through an AI pipeline to smooth out harsh realism into a polished, painterly aesthetic.
Key Features:
Signature "Reflector Glow": Creates soft, flattering light under the chin and eyes, giving skin a velvety appearance.
Dreamy Backlighting: Excels at generating beautiful rim lighting (hair glow) and warm bokeh backgrounds.
Semi-Real Style: Bridges the gap between realistic textures and stylized illustration (anime/digital painting influence).
Versatile Portraiture: Works beautifully for close-ups and medium shots, adding a warm, intimate mood to any subject.
Technical Guide & Usage:
Recommended Weight: 0.7 - 0.9 (Lower weight for more realism, higher for more stylized glow).
Helpful Prompts: To maximize the effect, use descriptions like: soft ambient lighting, backlit, rim light, glowing skin, dreamy atmosphere, soft focus.
Negative Prompts: harsh shadows, flash photography, flat lighting, cartoon, 3d render.
