Virtual Photography Thread

I have been enjoying playing with my creative photography ideas and the styles I like to ‘shoot’.

Just for funsies, mixing up the style.

Ona more serious note, here are some portraitures in a medium I like to shoot.

Jackie Welles

Jackie was a dream to capture, pleasant humble all-round good guy (with a heart of gold).


Dexter Deshawn

He was a bit more tricky, quite obnoxious if I am honest but he has such cool features I just had to get him in his natural environment. He is actually heavier looking in person.

Those portraits are really good! Please share the prompt for the Jackie Welles one - those skin and clothing textures are :ok_hand: !

This is somewhat the format I follow, obviously change it up for each portrait. Took me a few days of back-and-forth prompting and chats to get it right.

[A] Medium close-up, ultra-detailed, hyper-realistic portrait photograph of Jackie Welles from Cyberpunk 2077. [B] Shot on an 85mm prime lens with a shallow depth of field (f/1.4 aperture). [C] Jackie Welles is looking directly into the camera, framing him from the chest up, showing his distinct facial tattoos, cybernetics, and jacket. [D] Background is the neon-soaked, rain-slicked streets of Night City's Heywood district at night, blurred due to focus. [E] Dramatic cinematic lighting creating strong shadows, neon noir atmosphere with mixed colored light reflecting on his face and cybernetics. [F] Professional photo, 8K, fine details, textured skin, muted colour palette, Vertical Aspect Ratio (2:3).

You can also add physics based rendering, and subsurface scattering if ur using gemini, since its a 3d scene its literally creating for the image

Using my prompting system I made this image, then asked it add those rendering methods and the image looked like it hadn’t changed. So I asked it make a 50/50 comparison of an example off the rendering method applied and not.

About would seem my prompt already considers it despite not explicitly stating it in the prompt.
