A timeless black-and-white family portrait of four family members arranged in a gentle descending stack, each resting against the next. Their matching white T-shirts and relaxed expressions create a beautifully unified composition, while the close physical connection gives the image a sense of warmth, intimacy, and togetherness.
AI Character Consistency
Image one was perfect. Image two is that character's cousin. Here's why text prompts structurally can't hold a face, the three levers that actually work, and the reference-first workflow that replaced writing longer prompts.

AI Prompts for Photographers: Shoot Concepts, Client Comms & Editing
AI won't replace your camera, but it will kill the dead time around a shoot — moodboards, client emails, pricing, captions. Here's how photographers actually use AI, with copy-paste prompts for each part of the job.
Black and white studio portrait of a family of four lying on a studio floor, stacked in a descending diagonal from upper left to lower right. Bottom of the stack: a man aged 38, dark hair cropped short, full dark beard trimmed close, lying on his left side with his head resting directly on the floor, his left arm folded beneath his head as a pillow. He wears a plain white crew-neck cotton t-shirt, short sleeves, slightly creased at the shoulder seam. Above and behind him: a woman aged 35, dark hair pulled back smooth, lying on her left side with her cheek resting against the crown of the man's head. She wears a separate plain white crew-neck t-shirt, short sleeves, fabric slightly finer than his, gathered at her waist where she lies. Above her: a boy aged 8, short dark hair, lying with his cheek pressed to the top of the woman's head, his own white t-shirt with a wider neckline. At the top: a boy aged 4, dark hair, lying across the older boy's back with his forearms folded under his chin, white t-shirt with short loose sleeves. All four faces turn toward camera. Each is a genuinely distinct face — different bone structure, different eye spacing, different jaw width — related but not duplicated. All four wear a small closed-lip smile. Each head physically contacts the head below it: cheek to crown, with visible compression of hair at each contact point. No floating heads, no gaps. Light: broad and soft from camera-right and slightly above, wrapping across all four faces so each retains its own tonal value. The faces sit at four distinct brightness levels down the diagonal so no two merge in monochrome. White shirts hold detail in the fabric weave and do not blow out. Background is a smooth mid-grey studio wall, clearly darker than the shirts, with a subtle gradient falling off at the upper corners. Camera is at floor level, lens roughly at the height of the lowest head, looking slightly down the diagonal. Black and white photography, rich mid-tones, film grain, natural skin texture.
