Tips specifically for this model

Write a scenario rather than a phrase: who, where, doing what, how the shot changes. This is the only model where longer text helps rather than hurts.
Works best with text, without photos.

✓ OK

The person from the photo slowly turns to the camera and smiles. Wind in hair, sunset glow, smooth camera zoom-in.
