GPT-IMG
Describe the person, not "a beautiful face"
Age range, build, hair, expression, and clothing give the model something specific. Adjectives like "beautiful" or "stunning" push every face towards the same look.

Getting a portrait that looks photographed
Portraits expose weak prompts quickly. These points are what separate a stock-photo face from a believable one.
GPT-IMG
Name the light
"Soft window light from the left" or "low golden-hour sun behind, fill from a reflector" shapes the whole picture. Lighting does more for realism than any amount of detail words.
GPT-IMG
Use camera language
A focal length and aperture, such as "85mm, shallow depth of field", cues a portrait look: compressed features and a soft background.
GPT-IMG
Ask for skin to look like skin
"Visible skin texture, no retouching" counters the plastic smoothness these models drift towards. Say it when you want a documentary feel.
GPT-IMG
Add a reference for likeness
To get a particular person, upload their photo and say "keep the face exactly the same". Only do this with a photo of yourself or someone who has agreed.
GPT-IMG
Watch hands, ears, and teeth
These are where portraits still go wrong. Frame the shot head-and-shoulders if you can, and zoom in on the details before you use it.
