Can I use these prompts as they are?

Yes. “Create with it” fills in the model and ratio too, and you can copy any prompt to use elsewhere.

Which model is best for realistic photos?

Every work names its model. To compare, send the same sentence to several models at once and look at them side by side.

Can I use the images commercially?

Images you make are yours, subject to the terms of the model you used. Treat other people's works as references only.

4 tips for Photography prompts

1
Lead with subject and action
Who, doing what, where: put it at the very start of the sentence.
2
Name the light
Side light, backlight, overcast or golden hour does far more than “nice light”.
3
Say the lens
“35mm street shot”, “85mm shallow depth of field” or “top-down” changes the framing.
4
Add one texture word
Film grain, Kodak tones or high-contrast black and white: pick one, don't stack them.
