Tips

Get cleaner results

Small input improvements usually make the output look more premium.

Use even light

Natural window light reduces harsh shadows and improves face detail.

Keep faces large

Crop closer so the style focuses on eyes, nose, and mouth cleanly.

Simple background

Busy scenes can distract the model and reduce overall “storybook” feel.
