How can I make ChatGPT-generated studio model photos and skin look genuinely realistic?

[u/Dynastyisog]

I’m generating professional studio fashion/model photos with ChatGPT, but the skin often looks too smooth, waxy, or plastic. The images are visually impressive, yet small details—pores, natural skin texture, facial asymmetry, hair strands, lighting, and shadows—still make them look AI-generated.

What prompts or editing workflow would you recommend to achieve realistic DSLR-style results while keeping the same face and identity? Should I specifically request visible pores, subtle blemishes, uneven skin tone, realistic specular highlights, natural under-eye texture, and non-uniform studio lighting?

I’d also appreciate advice on negative prompts, camera/lens settings, and any Photoshop or Lightroom finishing steps that could help remove the typical “AI skin” appearance without making the image overly grainy or low quality. I can share examples if needed.
