AI Portrait Photo

Generate studio-quality portrait photography using each::sense — the intelligent AI agent that automatically selects the best model for your request.

Quick Start

Requires an each::labs API key. Get one at eachlabs.ai.

Using curl

curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Studio portrait of an elderly man with deep wrinkles and kind eyes, wearing a wool fisherman sweater, Rembrandt lighting, shallow depth of field, 85mm f/1.4 lens, medium format film grain, intimate close-up"
      }
    ],
    "stream": false
  }'

Using Python (OpenAI SDK)

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_EACHLABS_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="eachsense/beta",
    messages=[{
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Studio portrait of an elderly man with deep wrinkles and kind eyes, wearing a wool fisherman sweater, Rembrandt lighting, shallow depth of field, 85mm f/1.4 lens, medium format film grain, intimate close-up"
    }]
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

With Reference Image

Use a reference photo for style matching or subject likeness:

curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
              {"type": "text", "text": "Create a studio portrait of this person in the style of Annie Leibovitz. Dramatic side lighting, rich tones, dark background, contemplative expression, editorial quality"},
              {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "https://example.com/reference-person.jpg"}}
            ]
          }
    ],
    "stream": false
  }'

Images are sent inside messages using the OpenAI multimodal content format. Maximum 4 images per request.

Streaming

Set "stream": true for real-time Server-Sent Events (SSE) responses, or "stream": false to receive the complete result in a single response. Streaming is useful for showing progress in UIs; non-streaming is simpler for scripts and automation.

Prompt Structure

[portrait type] of [subject description], [attire/styling], [lighting setup],
[background], [lens/camera], [mood/tone], [composition]

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Skipping lighting details — lighting defines the mood of a portrait more than anything else
• Too many accessories — keep styling simple; one statement piece works better
• Ignoring background — a busy background competes with the subject
• Not specifying framing — "close-up," "half-body," or "three-quarter" changes the feel dramatically
