Today I'm sharing with you 9 common lens keywords for characters, hoping to help you have more perspective options when creating thesePrompt wordSuitable for Midjourney, Flux, SDXL and many more models.
Below I'll use Flux as an example to show the effect of each viewpoint
1、Full body shot
Showing the full body modeling of a character. For example, the clothing, the pose or the relationship of the character to the environment. Like when you're standing on a city street and a friend takes a head-to-toe photo of you.
For example, a full-body shot of a young college girl standing in the street, waving.
Cue word: Full body shot, A young female college student stood on the street waving
2、Half body shot
Shows the upper body of a character, usually from the waist to the top of the head. Often used to highlight a character's expression and upper body movements, such as hand movements or shoulder postures. It's like when you're video chatting with a friend and the camera only captures the upper half of your body.
For example, a bust shot of a young college girl standing in the street, waving.
Cue word: Half body shot, A young female college student stood on the street waving
3. Close-Up view
Close-ups are much closer, usually highlighting a character's face or a specific part of it. It's used to show details like the emotion in the eyes or the expression on the face. It's like when you take a selfie and hold your cell phone very close to just the part of your eyes and nose.
For example, a close-up of a beautiful woman smiling back.
Cue word: Close-Up view, A beauty's smile as she looks back
4、Focus on a part Focus on xx
Focus on a specific part of the figure, such as a hand, a foot, or a piece of jewelry. Emphasize the importance or beauty of that part. For example, if you take a photo of a hand holding a flower, focus on the hand and the flower to make them look especially clear and prominent.
For example, focusing on shoes, a foot model wearing high heels.
Cue word: Focus on shoes, A foot model wears high heels
5、Front shot
Show the character's positive expressions and poses directly, just as they see you when you talk to a friend face-to-face.
For example, a frontal shot of a sweet-looking Chinese college girl standing on a basketball court.
Cue word: Front shot, A sweet-looking Chinese college girl stands on a basketball court
6、Back shot
It is usually used to show the back of a person. Like when you're watching the sunset at the beach and the photographer takes a shot of your back from behind.
For example, a back shot of a mysterious man in a cloak.
Cue in: Back shot, A mysterious man in a cape
7、Side shot
Usually shows the side of a person's body or the side of their face. It's like you're standing sideways and the camera captures your side profile.
For example, a side view of a 20 year old girl standing on a city street.
Cue word: Side shot, 20-year-old girl, standing on city street
8、Low-angle shot
Shoot from the bottom up. This perspective makes the subject appear taller and more powerful, like you're looking up at a skyscraper.
For example, a low angle shot of a 20 year old girl standing on a city street.
Cue word: Low-angle shot, 20-year-old girl, standing on city street
9、High angle lens Top view
Shooting from above. This viewpoint shows the layout of the entire scene and is good for photographing wide open spaces or crowds of people. It's like you're looking down from the window of a tall building and seeing the streets and pedestrians below.
For example: a high angle shot of a medieval assassin standing on a skyscraper roof
Cue word: Top view, A medieval assassin on the roof of a skyscraper
