Can I use these prompts as they are?

Yes. “Create with it” fills in the model and ratio too, and you can copy any prompt to use elsewhere.

Can I use my own photo as a reference?

Add it as a reference image on the create page; models that take references keep the person's features as well as they can. Don't publish works made from other people's real photos.

Can I use the images commercially?

Images you make are yours, subject to the terms of the model you used. Treat other people's works as references only.

4 tips for Portrait prompts

1
Person first, mood second
Age, hair and clothes come first, then a state like “quietly looking out of the window”.
2
Light sets the character
Rembrandt light feels calm, a softbox feels clean, neon rim light feels cinematic.
3
Give the framing
Close-up, half body or full body tells the model how much background to keep.
4
Leave real people out
Describe features instead of naming real people; public works can't be photos of real people.
