A lot from the article will not work, because the terms are too overloaded ("three point"). SD photography and lighting keyword dump I've tested for 1.5:

f1.8, dof, bokeh, soft focus, chiaroscuro, backlit, golden hour, soft lighting, natural lighting, warm colors [but not "cool"], Polaroid, lens flare

"85mm", "50mm" etc all make the image realistic, but don't do anything specific.

Pro-tip: use "windows" to get many of the outdoor lighting keywords available indoors.



Thanks for these. Can vouch for golden hour. I can see why directors are obsessed with it.


Golden hour is great if you want things to be very warm. Sometimes I throw in a (sun behind subject) as a negative prompt to reduce the "sunset" effect
