Camera and Lens Simulation
Be specific about camera settings for authentic results:Art Styles & Illustration
FLUX handles a wide range of artistic styles beyond photorealism. Name the style specifically and describe its visual characteristics. Style fusion — Combine two styles with a unifying palette:
Style Fusion Example
“Ancient Greek marble statue precision and anatomical detail, infused with cyberpunk neon lighting, holographic overlays, and electric blue/magenta glow effects, set against dark futuristic environments”
Lighting
Lighting has the greatest single impact on output quality. Describe it like a photographer would — “good lighting” is not enough. What to describe:- Source: natural, artificial, ambient
- Quality: soft, harsh, diffused, direct
- Direction: side, back, overhead, fill
- Temperature: warm, cool, golden, blue
- Interaction: catches, filters, reflects on surfaces
Portrait Lighting
Portrait Lighting
Rembrandt lighting (45° key light) — triangle of light on the face for dramatic portraits:“Portrait with Rembrandt lighting, key light at 45 degrees, dramatic chiaroscuro effect”Split lighting (90° side light) — half-face illuminated for high contrast:“Artistic portrait, split lighting, strong side illumination, dramatic contrast”
Environmental Light Quality
Environmental Light Quality
Window light = soft, even illuminationGolden hour = warm and softBlue hour = cool and moodyOverhead artificial = harsh and dramatic
Cinematic Lighting
Cinematic Lighting
Chiaroscuro — high contrast light/shadow for drama:“Film noir detective scene, single practical desk lamp, strong chiaroscuro lighting”Practical lighting — visible light sources in scene for realism:“Cyberpunk street scene, neon signs and LED strips providing atmospheric lighting”
Text in Images
FLUX handles text well when prompted correctly. Use this three-step approach:Describe Placement
Specify where text appears: “The text ‘OPEN’ appears in red neon letters above the door”
- Neon Sign
- Product Advertisement
- Retro Poster
- Magazine Cover
Text Rendering Tips
- Front-load text descriptions for better accuracy
- Use quotation marks around exact text you want rendered
- Describe color and effects: “red neon letters”, “gold serif lettering”, “chalk on blackboard”
- Use hex codes for brand-precise colors: “The logo text ‘ACME’ in color #FF5733”
- Keep text short — long strings are harder to render accurately
- Specify font character: serif = traditional/formal, sans-serif = modern, script = elegant, display = bold/impactful
