She wears a wide, elastic nude-colored headband completely covering her hair, while the black fabric flows dramatically around her head like fog and wraps around her torso and legs, creating an ethereal, layered effect. Her curves are well visible. She has a tiny black heart tattoo on her shoulder and wears dramatic, smoky eye makeup. Her eyes are blue. Her left hand rests on her thigh as she looks directly at the camera with a serious, intense gaze against a soft, neutral grey studio background. The frame is cut right under the hips and the top of the head is cropped

A close-up portrait by mikkoph of a very young woman with fair skin and striking blue eyes, looking directly at the camera with a soft, serene expression. Her blonde hair is styled in an elegant updo, adorned with numerous small white flowers, possibly daisies, nestled throughout the curls. She wears a floral-patterned blouse with black, white, and gold flowers, a pearl earring in her right ear, and has a manicure with white nail polish. Her hands are gently cupped around her face, with her fingers lightly touching her cheeks. The background is a deep, dark blue, creating a dramatic contrast that highlights her features and the delicate details of her look.

A dramatic, high-contrast sideway portrait by mikkoph of a young woman with voluminous, wavy blonde hair, styled in an updo with loose curls framing her face. She gazes at the camera with a serene yet intense expression, her makeup featuring defined eyebrows and a subtle, shimmery lip. The scene is bathed in a striking dual-color lighting scheme: a cool, cyan blue light illuminates the right side of her face and body, while a warm, deep red light casts a glow on her left shoulder and hair. A lit white candle rests on her left shoulder, its wax melting and dripping down her arm and chest in thick, viscous streams. The candle is short and wide, very consumed. Her right hand is gently placed under her chin, adding to the contemplative pose. The background is a solid, deep black, which makes the subject and the vivid lighting effects pop. The overall mood is sensual, ethereal, and slightly surreal.

This is a striking and glamorous portrait of a albino woman with an ethereal, almost surreal appearance. Her complexion is extremely pale, giving her a porcelain-like, dollish elegance. Her makeup is bold and dramatic, with deep red lips that contrast starkly against her white skin. Her cheeks are subtly blushed. Her eyes are piercing and icy blue, framed by well-defined, light eyebrows. Her hair is platinum blonde, voluminous, and styled in a teased, slightly wild manner, adding an element of high-fashion drama. She wears opulent jewelry, including a large, dazzling necklace adorned with oversized crystal-like gemstones set in intricate silver designs. Matching chandelier earrings, also encrusted with sparkling stones, dangle elegantly from her ears, reinforcing a sense of luxury and sophistication. A fluffy white feather fan partially obscures the left side of her face, adding an air of mystery and refinement reminiscent of 18th-century aristocratic fashion or burlesque glamour. The background is a neutral beige, allowing the subject and her extravagant accessories to take full focus. The overall aesthetic of the image is reminiscent of haute couture fashion photography, blending elements of vintage elegance with a modern, avant-garde twist. The contrast between her icy features and the warmth of the beige background enhances the surreal and almost theatrical mood of the portrait., ultra detailed, intricate details, cinematic, photorealistic, masterpiece

Model description

This LoRA is designed to replicate the photography style of mikkoph (which happens to be me). It focuses on emulating the makeup, lighting techniques, and post-processing effects that I use in my work. The model was trained using images from my portfolio, which I own and hold all rights to.

This LoRA is intended mostly for myself, but also for users interested in generating images in a style similar to my photography, offering a creative tool for experimentation and inspiration.

You can view my photography work at my website: https://michelebalistreri.photo to get a better idea of what to expect.

This is the first LoRA I train and I am pretty sure I didn't do the optimal training, but since it seems to work very well, I decided to post it. It was trained locally on a Strix Halo using Musubi-Tuner. I used 55 images and trained for 38 epoch.

The trigger phrase is "by mikkoph" but it is not really needed. Using "studio shot" seems to be helpful. I suggest using a weight around 1~1.6.
