How to use
Krea 2 Turbo (official BF16) · LoRA strength 1.0 · Trigger: Clamshell lighting

Prompt example
Clamshell lighting. An adult woman with silver-gray chin-length hair and pearl earrings, wearing a dusty rose silk blouse. Frontal beauty portrait against a pale beige background, broad upper soft light and lower reflector fill, luminous eyes.
Creative tips
Use frontal beauty framing, a pale simple backdrop and subtle makeup. Try silk, pearls, flowers and soft colors. Fine skin contrast becomes softer. Exact double catchlights are not guaranteed; facial appearance and framing may also change.
Published model notes
Portrait Lighting Series
Six classic photographic lighting looks for expressive portraits. Each version is a separate LoRA, from sculpted Rembrandt shadows and old-Hollywood butterfly light to soft beauty illumination and bright cinematic edges.
What it does
01 | Rembrandt Lighting — Directional facial modeling with a small triangle of light on the shadow-side cheek.
02 | Butterfly Lighting — Elevated frontal light and a centered nose shadow for glamour portraits.
03 | Split Lighting — A strong half-lit face for dramatic character portraits.
04 | Loop Lighting — Gentle diagonal nose shadows and natural facial modeling.
05 | Clamshell Lighting — Soft, balanced beauty light with lifted shadows.
06 | Rim Lighting — Bright outlines on hair and shoulders with a readable face.
How to use
Select a lighting look from the version tabs. Start with one LoRA at strength 1.0. Place its trigger first, then describe your subject, clothing, pose and setting. The trigger is the lighting name, such as Rembrandt lighting or Rim lighting.
Recommended starting settings
Krea 2 Turbo (official BF16) · LoRA strength 1.0 · 8 steps · CFG 1.0 · Euler ancestral · beta scheduler
The gallery uses native 3:4 portraits at approximately 2 MP, without upscaling or a face detailer.
Creative tips
Keep the face visible and give the lighting a clear role. Simple backgrounds make the pattern easier to read. Loop Lighting is gentle; Clamshell Lighting softens skin contrast. Exact light direction and shadow geometry vary with the pose. These adapters can also change facial appearance and framing.
