FAQ
- How do I make sure the main subject stays perfectly sharp?To keep the subject sharp while the background blurs, this prompt uses specific photography terminology. Keywords like 'perfectly sharp', '85mm lens', 'f1.4', and 'shallow depth of field' signal the AI to mimic a high-end camera lens focusing exclusively on the foreground subject.
- What AI generator is best for achieving this realistic motion blur effect?Midjourney v6 is currently one of the best models for achieving highly realistic photographic effects, including accurate motion blur and depth of field. It understands lens parameters like '85mm' and 'f1.4' very well to create cinematic photography.
- Can I use my own face for this prompt?Yes. If you are using an AI tool like Midjourney, you can use the character reference parameter (--cref) followed by a link to a clear image of your face. Combined with the text 'portrait of me with exact same facial identity', the AI will map your features onto the sharp subject in the center.
