What AI models work best with this prompt?

This prompt is optimized for Midjourney v6 and DALL-E 3 for maximum photorealism. It also works well with ChatGPT image generation and Gemini with minor adjustments.

Can I use this for commercial projects?

Yes. All free prompts on PromptLabHub are cleared for personal and commercial use with no attribution required.

How do I modify this prompt for a female subject?

Replace "a man" with "a woman" and adjust pronoun references throughout. All lighting and style instructions remain the same.

Do I need a reference image?

No — but providing one will significantly improve facial accuracy and identity consistency across generations.

Why does the face look different each time?

AI models generate new interpretations each run. Use --seed in Midjourney or re-run until satisfied. A reference image reduces variation greatly.
