Four model variants per sceneOne prompt.
One prompt.
Four engines.
Each scene is written and optimised for each model's specific prompt conventions. Not a generic prompt copy-pasted across four tools.
Model 01
ChatGPT · DALL·E 3
Narrative style with photography terminology, lens and lighting descriptions. Best for structured professional output.
Model 02
Gemini · Imagen
Structured descriptors, photorealism markers, quality anchors. Best for natural lighting and skin tone accuracy.
Model 03
Grok · Aurora
Bold, direct, mood-forward framing. Best for high-contrast and casual social output. Promotes natively on Grok.
Model 04
FLUX · Astria
LoRA-aware prompts using trigger word conventions. Best for done-for-you generation via Astria's portrait API.

I used to hire a photographer twice a year. Now I run a Manifesto session before every press cycle. The portraits actually look like me.
The prompts are the product. Every generation comes with the recipe — you can tweak, re-run, evolve. It's the only AI tool that respects the craft.
Used Editorial Noir for the back of my book jacket. My publisher couldn't tell it wasn't shot in a studio. That's the whole game.
