Make the hero, then make her the reference for everything else. The hero prompt writes the identity once:
For shots 02 to 08 I attached two images: the hero I kept as the first reference (who she is) and a framing shot as the second reference (how the crop and light should look). Every prompt repeats a short version of the identity so she never drifts.
Every shot names the same room: deep navy seamless backdrop, one large softbox from camera left, natural falloff into shadow on the right. Every shot names the same camera: medium-format film, 100mm (macro for the close-ups), f/8.
Repeating the set in each prompt is what makes eight separate generations feel like one real shoot.
AI loves smooth, flawless faces.
Real skin only shows up when you ask for it by name:
Each frame sells one or two of these, and side light from the softbox is what makes the scars read. Vague words like flawless or glowing are exactly what pushes the model back to plastic.
Every prompt ends with the same refusal line: No beauty retouching, no smoothing, no HDR, no waxy or oily highlights, no plastic look, no CGI. Fine film grain. No text. Acne scars and open pores are exactly what models and beauty filters smooth away, so the negatives do most of the work here.
Ask for dry, powdery-matte skin, and keep any sheen to places real skin has one, like a natural moistness on the lips.
Two image references per shot as described in step 01. I cropped the finals to 4:5 (1080 x 1350) for the carousel and put text only on the hero and the last slide.
QC zoomed in. Regenerate that one frame when:
Keep the rest.

This guide is the full process. The ready-made version lives inside AI Creative OS on Skool, next to every other prompt pack I post.
