What you will get

A 4:5 night fashion editorial shot with a harsh on-camera flash, deep shadows behind your subject, glossy skin highlights, a slightly overexposed candid look and your chosen outfit and setting, without text or logos.

Common mistake

The flash look is weak and the picture looks like normal studio light.

Fix: Follow the tip and use the Flash Editorial or Subtle Flash preset, then add “direct flash, dark background, hard shadow on the wall”.

Also watch for

The skin is too smooth and plastic. Ask for “real skin texture, a little shine, flyaway hairs”. Flash photography shows detail, not smoothness.
Your own face is not in the picture. Add your Soul ID character. Without it, the model invents a new person each time.

Try a variation: daytime flash

Change the scene to “a bright sunny street with fill flash”, so the shadow is lighter. It gives a candid summer editorial look.

Still not right? Add this and run it again

Same outfit and setting. Make the flash a little less harsh, keep the deep shadows and keep text and logos out.
