Tips for Best Results

• Contrast: The model excels at low-key setups. Don't be afraid to prompt for entirely black backgrounds or deep shadows.

• Perspective: Experiment with low-angle for drama and overhead high-angle for abstract compositions.

Creative Exploration

• Abstract Patterns: Use keywords like circular collage, geometric grid, and repetitive diamond-shaped modules to push the model's structural capabilities.

• Color Accents: Combine muted desaturated tones with a single vibrant accent (e.g., "vibrant magenta skirt", "intense saturated green smoke") for high-impact visuals
