Why Seedream 4.0 for Golden-Hour Portraits
I’ve tested a few modern image models, and Seedream 4.0 stands out for mixing generation and precision editing in one engine — which is exactly what you need for consistent travel portraits across multiple scenes. It’s fast, supports multi-reference inputs, and preserves subject consistency better than most models I’ve used. Seedream 4.0 is positioned as ByteDance’s advanced imaging model and is available through official channels and partner APIs.
If you want editorial-grade images with believable skin tones, warm golden light, and correct background perspective—Seedream is a solid choice. Tech press has been impressed with its realism and speed, so it’s not just hype.
Quick Seedream Workflow for 8K Travel Portraits
Here’s the simple workflow I use every time. You’ll need a high-resolution source photo (the better the input, the better the output), a clear idea of the location and mood, and patience to iterate.
Upload a high-res portrait (or start from scratch).
Choose aspect ratio and set output quality (aim for 4K/8K where available).
Paste a detailed prompt describing: subject pose, clothing, landmark, light direction, camera lens, mood, and desired retouching behavior.
Provide 1–4 reference images for style consistency (Seedream supports multi-reference).
Generate multiple variations, then refine with natural-language edits (e.g., “increase rim light,” “soften skin highlights”).
Export the best version; do final minor edits in your usual editor.
ByteDance’s docs and partner API pages explain these capabilities in more technical detail. If you plan batch runs, Seedream’s batch and story-driven features are very handy.
12 Ready-to-Use Seedream 4.0 Prompts
Below are twelve compact, copy-ready prompt paragraphs you can paste into Seedream 4.0’s prompt field. Each paragraph is written to produce an 8K cinematic golden-hour half-body travel portrait in European settings. (I kept each prompt concise so you can adapt specifics like clothing or landmark.)
Prompt 1: “8K hyper-realistic cinematic half-body portrait of a slim young man by an old stone arch in Andorra at golden hour; warm side rim light, soft lens flare, natural skin texture, eyes to camera, oversized patterned shirt slightly moving in breeze, shallow depth of field, editorial magazine quality.”
Prompt 2: “8K cinematic half-body portrait of a slim man on a misty mountain road in Andorra, soft morning light, confident in-motion pose adjusting matte black sunglasses, natural skin detail, warm cheek rim highlight, shallow DOF, ultra-real textures.”
Prompt 3: “8K ultra-realistic half-body portrait on a sunlit hillside terrace with stone pillars and mountain backdrop; gentle golden-hour sunlight, thoughtful downward gaze, fabric movement in breeze, editorial styling, natural skin tones, high-detail fabric texture.”
Prompt 4: “8K cinematic portrait on a stone bridge surrounded by misty green mountains, relaxed lean on railing, calm determined gaze, warm golden-hour side light, realistic skin and hair detail, high-fashion oversized shirt, soft background bokeh.”
Prompt 5: “8K hyper-real half-body portrait by a stone balcony overlooking a mountain valley, confident modeling stance, subtle smirk, matte black sunglasses, warm cinematic light, natural facial detail and fabric folds, editorial feel.”
Prompt 6: “8K golden-hour portrait on a cobblestone street in a historic European town, one hand on wrought-iron gate, warm sunlight filtering through trees, relaxed stylish pose, crisp facial detail, shallow DOF, photoreal skin rendering.”
Prompt 7: “8K ultra-real picturesque village portrait leaning against rustic stone wall at sunset, casual hands-in-pockets pose, warm evening glow, clear skin texture, classic white shirt rolled sleeves, timeless travel vibe.”
Prompt 8: “8K cinematic half-body portrait in the courtyard of an old European castle during golden hour, soft sunlight on stone walls, casual one-hand on railing pose, subtle smirk, realistic wardrobe textures, editorial warmth.”
Prompt 9: “8K cinematic portrait sitting on edge of a stone fountain in a town square at golden hour, relaxed pose, warm sun glow on face, detailed skin tones, navy shirt, softbokeh background, magazine cover quality.”
Prompt 10: “8K ultra-real portrait in narrow winding streets of a European town at golden hour, oversized sweater styling, thoughtful expression, long shadows, creamy background blur, realistic lighting and skin detail.”
Prompt 11: “8K hyper-real leaning on wrought-iron railing overlooking a mountain valley, warm golden light, leather jacket styling, confident relaxed pose, crisp face detail, cinematic aura and atmospheric depth.”
Prompt 12: “8K cinematic half-body portrait on an ancient stone bridge over a calm river at golden hour, reflective water highlights, casual reflective gaze, natural skin texture, soft warm rim light, editorial photographic composition.”
Use these as templates. Swap landmarks, swap clothing, adjust camera lens descriptors (e.g., “85mm f/1.4 look”) to refine the look.
Tips to Get Cinematic Results Every Time
Reference control: upload 1–4 reference images for pose and color mood—Seedream handles multi-reference well.
Lighting language: be explicit—“warm rim light from left at f/1.8, soft lens flare” works better than vague “nice lighting.”
Keep faces consistent: if you’re editing a real person, say “preserve facial features, no identity-alteration” to keep likeness and reduce weird artifacts.
Iterate fast: generate 3–5 variants per prompt, then ask for small natural-language edits. I almost always refine twice.
Export and fine-tune: even 8K outputs can benefit from subtle noise and grain adjustments in your photo editor for extra realism.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1 — Do I need a reference photo to use these prompts?
Not strictly. You can generate from pure text, but a high-quality reference improves subject consistency, pose fidelity, and expression control.
Q2 — Can Seedream output true 8K images?
Seedream 4.0 supports up to very high resolutions (official docs emphasize 4K and professional pipelines); for 8K-like results you may need upscaling or to stitch high-res outputs. Check the API or platform limits.
Q3 — How do I keep the subject’s face identical across multiple images?
Use multi-reference images and explicit prompts like “preserve facial features” or “same face as reference 1.” Seedream’s story-driven consistency features help maintain identity across outputs.
Q4 — Any legal/ethical things to watch for?
Yes—avoid generating or editing images that violate privacy or impersonate others without consent. Always have permission when using someone else’s photo as a reference.
Q5 — What camera/ lens settings should I mention in the prompt?
Common successful cues: “85mm look,” “f/1.4 shallow depth of field,” “medium telephoto compression,” “soft golden-hour rim light.” These help the model mimic real photographic optics.
