  3. Use comparative photography terms: "award-winning portrait photography," "studio lighting"
  4. Specify materials and textures: "crystalline," "opalescent," "weathered leather"
  5. Add emotional context through expression and pose
  6. Reference specific artists or photographers for style (e.g., "in the style of Stanley Lau")
