Prompt Engineering: 85mm Lens
Using 'shot on an 85 millimeter lens' in your prompt specifically instructs the AI to create a shallow depth of field (blurry background), isolating the subject similar to professional portrait photography.
Flux Interface Tip
Since Flux is open-source, it does not have a dedicated official app. Platforms like Artlist are recommended for accessing Flux with a user-friendly interface.
Natural Lighting Observation
In this comparison, the Gemini-based model (Nano Banana Pro) rendered 'window lighting' most accurately, keeping the window visible in the shot to establish light direction, whereas Flux produced a result resembling a video game character.
