Photographer / Artist Style

Ground an AI image or video in the signature of a photographer, cinematographer or illustrator. Pick up to 2 of 63 creators, such as Roger Deakins.

The Photographer / Artist Style picker grounds the look of an image or a video in the signature of a known creator. You choose up to two creators from its catalog: fashion and street photographers, cinematographers, digital artists and illustrators. Nodaro adds tested wording for their style to the prompt of every node you connect it to. The picker never calls a model, so it costs no credits.

When to use it

  • Light a scene like a film: choose a cinematographer, such as Roger Deakins or Emmanuel Lubezki.
  • Give a portrait an editorial signature from the Editorial / Fashion group.
  • Make a candid image feel like classic street photography, such as Henri Cartier-Bresson or Vivian Maier.
  • Draw in an animation or illustration tradition, such as Studio Ghibli, Makoto Shinkai or Alphonse Mucha.
  • Keep one creator's look across a whole batch of shots.

How to use it

Add the picker

Open the node picker and choose Creative Controls › Light & Look › Photographer / Artist Style.

Choose up to two creators

Click the node and choose a creator from the list. Choose a second one to blend two signatures.

Connect it

Drag from the picker's output to the Look input of a Generate Image or Generate Video node. You can also connect it to a Text or Prompt node to use the wording in a longer text.

Run the image or video node

The style clause is added to the end of the prompt when the connected node runs.

Tips

  • Mix a creator with a style. Combine this picker with Style or Aesthetic / Microtrend for a hybrid signature.
  • Match the genre. A fashion photographer reads best with a matching Photo Genre, such as Fashion Editorial or Lookbook.
  • Place it in time. Add Era / Period to anchor the creator's look in a decade.
  • Keep a project's look. Connect one picker to every image node of a project, so every shot shares the same signature.
