Why this matters

Consistency is the discipline of changing one variable while keeping identity and visual rules stable.

Lock

Keep identity and palette stable.

Vary

Change pose, crop or scene deliberately.

Compare

Review outputs side by side.

Understand the working model

For a set of images, define a small visual bible: subject description, wardrobe, palette, lighting direction, rendering style and aspect ratio. Reuse those anchors in every prompt.

Generate batches with controlled variation. If you change style, camera, wardrobe and background simultaneously, you cannot tell which change caused the identity drift.

Example
Same product, same matte-black material, same studio lighting and 4:5 framing. Variation: camera moves from three-quarter view to straight-on front view.
Practice

Apply the pattern above to one real task you already do. Keep the first version small enough that you can inspect every input and output.

Common mistake

Do not chase a drifting result by adding more random adjectives. Return to the stable anchors.

Key takeaway

Build consistency from a small set of repeated visual anchors and controlled variations.
