How do I make the blind shadows sharper in Stable Diffusion?

Include prompt terms like 'hard key light', 'sharp direct sunlight', and 'crisp directional shadows', while keeping sampler steps high (30-40 steps).

Can I apply this geometric shadow style to female subjects?

Absolutely. Replace the subject description with female traits; the geometric light effect works equally well across all demographics.

Why use an 85mm lens spec for close-up portraits?
