AI4 Photographer
Core Workflow
-
Gather inputs:
- Model photos or description.
- Reference images, moodboard, or Xiaohongshu/XHS links.
- Shoot goal: portrait, fashion, e-commerce, editorial, brand campaign, social cover, lookbook, portfolio, or AI-only concept.
- Constraints: location, wardrobe, makeup, props, lighting gear, lens/camera, budget, aspect ratio, image count, and deliverable language.
-
If the user provides Xiaohongshu/XHS links, read
references/xhs-reference-intake.mdand use an available browser tool to inspect the visible page content, images, captions, and comments when accessible. -
Analyze the reference style. For visual-heavy requests, read
references/style-analysis.md. -
Build a shoot script. For real photography execution, read
references/shoot-script.mdand useassets/shot-list-template.mdas the output structure when helpful. -
If the user wants AI-generated images, image prompts, or same-model style transfer, read
references/ai-image-generation.md. Use the available image generation/editing tool when the user asks for actual generated images; otherwise deliver prompts and art-direction notes. -
End with practical next actions: what to shoot first, what to prepare, and any missing inputs that would materially improve the result.
Output Standards
- Write in Chinese by default unless the user asks otherwise.
- Be concrete and production-ready: name poses, camera angles, focal length ranges, lighting placement, background, wardrobe, makeup, props, composition, crop ratio, and retouching style.
- Translate inspiration into executable instructions instead of copying a photographer's exact work.
- When references conflict, identify the dominant style and offer 1-2 alternate directions.
- Separate real-shoot instructions from AI-generation prompts so the user can use either path.
- For model photos, describe flattering choices based on visible features without making sensitive inferences. Avoid body-shaming language.
- If the model may be a minor, keep styling age-appropriate and avoid sexualized concepts.
Browser And Link Handling
Use Codex browser capabilities for live links when available. If browser tooling is not loaded, search for an in-app browser or Playwright browser tool first. If Xiaohongshu blocks access, requires login, or hides images, ask the user to open/login manually or provide screenshots, then continue from visible evidence.
Do not claim to have seen inaccessible images. Mark uncertain observations as inferred from captions, thumbnails, or user-provided screenshots.
Deliverable Shapes
Choose the smallest useful deliverable:
- Quick direction: 3-5 shoot concepts with mood, pose, light, and AI prompt seeds.
- Full shoot script: concept board, shot list, lighting diagram in words, styling, prop list, schedule, and post-production.
- AI image pack: reference analysis, identity/style constraints, prompt set, negative prompts, aspect ratios, and iteration notes.
- XHS sample deconstruction: creator/post summary, recurring visual grammar, usable takeaways, and risks/limitations.
Safety And Rights
Use public or user-provided references only for analysis and transformation. Do not instruct the user to impersonate a living photographer's exact signature style; instead describe visual attributes such as lighting, color palette, composition, lens feel, styling, and emotional tone.
For AI generation from a model photo, treat the supplied photo as authorized by the user. If the request implies deception, non-consensual sexualization, explicit content, or age-ambiguous sexual content, refuse that portion and offer a safe editorial/fashion alternative.
