Best Prompts for School Dance Homecoming Photos

Dance floor too dark with DJ lights
brighten all faces on the dance floor naturally, correct the colored DJ lighting to show true skin and outfit colors

DJ lighting creates atmosphere but makes faces invisible and colors wrong in photos

Pre-dance formal portrait needs enhancement
brighten the portrait with soft flattering light, enhance the dress and suit details

Pre-dance photos are the keepsakes - they need to look polished

Group photo at the dance
brighten every person in the group equally, fix the red-eye and color cast from flash or DJ lights

Dance group photos fight both darkness and colored lighting

Corsage or boutonniere close-up
enhance the flower detail and colors, make the corsage look fresh and vivid

Corsage photos are tradition and the flowers should look beautiful

Common Issues

Fluorescent classroom lighting looks greenish

Why: School fluorescent lights create an unflattering green/yellow color cast

Try: correct the fluorescent green tint, restore natural skin tones and colors

Adding 'natural skin tones' ensures faces look healthy, not sickly

Subject too far away in auditorium or gym

Why: School events force parents to shoot from bleachers or back rows

Try: sharpen and enhance the distant subject, make their face and details visible

Use a tap marker on the specific person for targeted enhancement

Harsh shadows from cap, hat, or overhead lights

Why: Graduation caps and overhead gym lights cast deep face shadows

Try: fill in the shadows on the face, brighten under the cap while keeping natural look

Mentioning 'under the cap' precisely targets the shadow area AI needs to fix

Crowded background distracts from the subject

Why: School events have busy backgrounds with other students, chairs, and equipment

Try: blur the busy background to focus attention on the main subject

Background blur is more natural than removal β€” keeps the context while reducing distraction
