How to write prompts for Seedream 5 Pro

Seedream 5 Pro is what I reach for when the image has to pass as a photograph. It renders real skin — pores, sheen, freckles — and holds a tight palette without washing out halfway through.

The cost is watching the light. It tends to blow out the bright areas and flatten the face exactly where texture matters. Faces and hands are still where it slips: that is what makes me regenerate most often.

Two things work here that do not work the same elsewhere. Naming the palette instead of describing a mood: "black, chalk-white, bright blue" gets further than "cool tones". And talking about the camera in camera terms: angle, crop, depth of field. Of the 54 prompts here, 31 list the palette and 30 carry a technical framing term. That is not style — it is what makes it obey.
