This model is trained to reproduce the visual aesthetic of casual mirror self-portraits from the late-2000s to early-2010s era, especially images taken on early cellphones and compact point-and-shoot cameras. It focuses on low-fidelity digital characteristics such as soft focus, visible compression artifacts, limited dynamic range, flat warm indoor lighting, and slightly awkward or imperfect framing.The model excels at generating images that feel personal, informal, and unposed, with a natural “accidental” snapshot quality rather than a polished or cinematic look. Typical environments include bedrooms and bathrooms with everyday clutter, simple furnishings, and lived-in backgrounds.This model is not intended for high-resolution, professional photography, studio lighting, or highly stylized fashion, glamour, or cinematic scenes. It performs best when used to create realistic, low-tech, early-digital personal photo aesthetics.<hr /><h2 id="how-to-get-the-best-results">How to get the best results</h2>Use the trigger word: <code>selfiez</code> Always include this at the start of your prompt.<h3 id="1.-describe-the-camera-and-era-first">1.
