Photographic Scene Coherence

A photographic style LoRA focused on scene coherence, environmental integration, spatial composition and consistent light interaction across varied environments.

A photography-focused LoRA that encourages generated images to read as coherent photographic scenes rather than as isolated subjects placed in front of a background.

The LoRA influences how people, objects, lighting and environments are organized within the image. Its main tendencies include stronger environmental integration, clearer depth structure, more deliberate foreground and background relationships, coherent perspective and a more unified photographic composition.

Its effect is primarily concerned with how the scene is organized and photographed.

I first show a comparison between version 1.0 and 1.5, the images shown afterwards are a comparison between images generated without LoRa and images generated with LoRa Version 1.0

Main characteristics

stronger spatial integration between subjects and their surroundings,
more believable placement and contact with the environment,
clearer foreground, middle-ground and background structure,
stronger perspective and camera-based composition,
more coherent relationships between people, furniture and surrounding objects,
more unified interaction between light, materials and subjects,
stronger atmospheric depth and subject separation,
more deliberate color and tonal relationships,
editorial and environmental photographic rendering.

The LoRA is not tied to one specific lighting setup or time of day. It can work across a broad range of conditions, including bright daylight, low warm sunlight, overcast light, blue hour, interior daylight, window light, mixed indoor/outdoor illumination, firelight, moonlight and narrow directional light.

It does not simply apply one fixed cinematic lighting preset. Instead, it tends to reinforce the relationships between the light sources, shadows, materials and subjects already described or implied by the prompt.

Café comparison

prompt: "woman sitting in a café, wearing summer dress", lora strength 0.0

prompt: "woman sitting in a café, wearing summer dress", lora strength 0.4, same checkpoint, seed and generation settings.

prompt: "woman sitting in a café, wearing summer dress", lora strength 0.8, same checkpoint, seed and generation settings.

These examples show the effect with a very simple prompt and without specialized photography, architecture or lighting keywords.

The LoRA strengthens the relationship between the subject, table, chair, foreground elements, window, interior, exterior view, materials and available light. The person tends to feel more naturally embedded in the café rather than simply placed in front of a background.

The comparison also demonstrates mixed indoor/outdoor illumination, warm interior materials, window light, shadowed areas and a coherent photographic depth structure.

Different lighting conditions

The following examples show the LoRA across a broad range of lighting situations rather than one fixed visual style.

Campfire at night

This example demonstrates how the LoRA handles the relationship between warm firelight, cool moonlight, deep shadows, smoke, the subject and the surrounding darkness.

strength 0.0 strength 0.8

prompt: "A woman, 23yo, photographed in profile while sitting beside a campfire at night, hands loosely wrapped around a ceramic mug, expression calm and absorbed in the surroundings, wearing a thick forest-green sweater, dark trousers and wool socks, curly dark hair, medium-brown skin with natural dry texture, warm irregular firelight from one side and broad cool moonlight from above, deep warm-cool separation, analog photographic realism."

Interior daylight and object interaction

This example shows environmental integration in an interior scene. The table, vase, branch, clothing, window light and background become more strongly connected as parts of the same photographic situation.

strength 0.0 strength 0.8

"A woman, 23yo, standing inside a Japanese-inspired contemporary apartment at midday, arranging a small branch in a ceramic vase, body turned naturally toward the table, expression focused and serene, wearing a deep indigo wrap blouse and loose beige trousers, straight black hair cut to the jawline, light warm-brown skin with visible pores and dry surface texture, broad neutral daylight through translucent panels, soft architectural shadows, natural fine-art photography., waist-up composition, subject clearly framed from the waist upward, balanced facial and upper-body detail, natural perspective, visible clothing texture, clear subject separation, moderate depth of field, subtle environmental context"

Narrow directional light in a natural environment

This example demonstrates controlled directional illumination, sculptural shadow structure and the integration of the face with the tree and surrounding vegetation.

strength 0.0 strength 0.8

"A woman, 20yo hides in the underwood,, photographed in a close portrait, the left side of her face revealed by a narrow warm side beam, expression serene and faintly curious, short dark hair, warm brown skin with natural pores, ambient illumination, deep sculptural shadows, controlled highlight region, restrained photographic realism."

Late-afternoon exterior light

This example shows how the LoRA can strengthen the relationship between the subject, blanket, book, grass, low camera position, foreground and background under warm outdoor light.

strength 0.0

strength 0.8

"ground level shot, A woman, 19yo, lying comfortably on a picnic blanket in a meadow during late afternoon, propped on one elbow while reading a paperback, legs loosely crossed, wearing a cream cotton T-shirt, faded blue jeans and canvas sneakers, short curly hair, dark brown skin with natural dry texture and subtle tonal variation, warm low sunlight across the meadow, long soft shadows, relaxed unselfconscious mood, natural lifestyle photography."

Blue hour and city ambience

This example demonstrates blue-hour ambience, distant background figures, negative space, city lights and the relationship between the subject and the rooftop environment.

strength 0.0 strength 0.8

"A woman, 25yo, photographed in a wide environmental composition during blue hour on a rooftop, standing near the parapet while a few distant people move softly through the background, tastefully nude with a dark green coat draped around her lower silhouette, shoulder-length curls, warm brown skin with natural dry texture, deep blue sky ambience and scattered amber city lights, strong negative space, atmospheric editorial fine-art nude photography., full-body composition, entire figure visible from head to feet, subject clearly framed within the available space, natural body proportions, realistic perspective, grounded contact points, believable subject-to-environment integration, atmospheric depth"

Higher-strength behavior

At higher strengths, the LoRA can influence camera position, crop, pose and the arrangement of scene elements more noticeably.

It generally follows explicitly described subject and clothing details. However, unspecified visual information may be interpreted more freely. At strengths around 0.8 and above, some images may develop a stronger fine-art nude or partially nude tendency, particularly when clothing coverage is not clearly specified in the prompt.

This is not the primary purpose of the LoRA, but it is a behavior worth noting when using high strengths.

With multiple subjects, higher strengths may also occasionally encourage more connected gaze direction, gestures or body language. This effect is inconsistent and should not be considered a guaranteed interaction-control feature.

Recommended strength

0.4–0.6  Subtle photographic and spatial influence

0.6–0.8  Stronger scene coherence and environmental integration

0.8–1.0  More assertive compositional influence

1.0+     Potentially invasive interpretation of unspecified details

A good starting point is 0.6. Use 0.8 when a stronger environmental and photographic effect is desired. Higher values may produce more significant changes to pose, composition and unspecified clothing or body presentation.

Summary

The LoRA does not primarily change what is depicted. It changes how the depicted elements are organized into a coherent photographic scene.

It is intended to make generated images feel more like photographs taken in a real environment, with stronger relationships between people, objects, space, light, materials and depth.
