Nodaro DocsPhoto Genre
Make an AI image read as a specific kind of photo, such as a fashion editorial, a street photo, a mirror selfie or a movie poster. Pick one of 46 genres.
The Photo Genre picker sets the kind of photograph an image should look like. You choose a genre from its catalog, such as Fashion Editorial, Street Photography, Corporate Headshot, Mirror Selfie or Movie Poster. Nodaro adds tested wording for that genre to the prompt of every node you connect it to. Each genre carries the framing and lighting habits of that kind of photo. The picker never calls a model, so it costs no credits.
When to use it
- Give a portrait the conventions of its use: a Corporate Headshot, a Yearbook photo or an ID / Passport photo.
- Make content for a campaign or a shop: Lookbook, Campaign / Ad, E-commerce Flat Lay or Product Shot.
- Make an image feel candid: Street Photography, Paparazzi, Snapshot or Point-and-Shoot / Disposable.
- Match a social format: Mirror Selfie, Front Cam Selfie, BeReal Dual or Lo-Fi 2010s Selfie.

Tips
- Add the camera. Pair a genre with Lens or Camera / Film Stock for a period-true look, for example Snapshot with the Disposable Camera format.
- Frame it to match. A genre sets its usual framing. For exact control, add Framing.
- Keep a campaign consistent. Connect one Photo Genre picker, such as Lookbook, to every image node of a product line.
- Borrow a signature. Add Photographer / Artist Style to give the genre a known photographer's look.
Frequently asked questions
What does the Photo Genre picker do?
It adds a description of a kind of photograph, such as a street photo, a corporate headshot or a mirror selfie, to the prompt of every image or video node it is connected to. Each genre carries the framing and lighting habits of that kind of photo.
Does the Photo Genre picker cost credits?
No. Pickers only change the prompt. You pay only for the generation node that uses it.
