The hard part of AI imagery isn't getting one good frame — it's getting fifty that look like they belong together.
Build a recipe, not a wish
Lock the look: palette, lighting, lens, and mood. Leave one slot for the subject. Now every generation shares a family resemblance.
Keep a negative list
- Write down what you never want (extra fingers, harsh shadows, busy backgrounds)
- Reuse the same aspect ratio across a set
- Save the recipe so the next person hits the same look
Consistency is a system, not a lucky seed.
