This style LoRA aims to create portraits with a warm, cozy, dreamy and intimate feel to them.
Technical Highlights: (how it tries to achieve it)
Tries to provide directional lighting that sculpts the subjects' beautifully
Uses natural light, wherever possible
Applies Shadow Painting, i.e. using architectural elements (window frames and blinds, for instance) to create geometric shadow patterns that add visual interest and depth
Uses a blend of hard and soft shadows throughout to create contrast, dimensionality and depth
Shifts the White Balance intentionally towards Warmer end of the spectrum (around 3200-3800K), giving all images a golden, honey-like quality
Applies Selective Color Enhancement including Rich, warm skin tones, Coral/orange lip color, Muted, desaturated backgrounds (to not compete with the subject), and enhanced highlights in the hair
Uses Split-toning, i.e. warmer color tones for lit areas and colder/neutral tones for shadows
Aims to achieve a Shallow Depth of Field, creating beautiful background separation. The subjects are tack-sharp while backgrounds fall into pleasing bokeh
