Start prompts with elle. This word is inferred from the repository and filename; the embedded metadata does not contain the original captions, so the exact trigger token could not be independently verified.

Example prompt:

Photorealistic portrait of elle, direct gaze, natural window light, realistic skin texture, 85mm photography.

Limitations and responsible use

The dataset, learning rate, and caption token are not included. Identity consistency can decrease in extreme profiles, distant framing, occlusion, or strong styles. Use only with appropriate rights and consent; never use for impersonation, deception, harassment, exploitation, or privacy violations. Clearly disclose synthetic imagery when appropriate.
