DIEGETIC — Cinematic Lighting Series

Lighting LoRAs that each do one specific thing. Instead of generic, abstract "cinematic lighting" tags, this series captures concrete, narrative light situations. The kind of light that tells you exactly where you are and what's happening without ever showing the source.

This page is the whole series. New effects get added as versions, so follow if you want the next ones.

v1.0 — Siren Light Through Blinds

Trigger: dgt_sirenblinds

Red and blue emergency light coming through venetian blinds. Hard horizontal shadow stripes on walls, faces, furniture. The vehicle stays offscreen — you get the light, not a police car parked in your frame.

Prompting:

dgt_sirenblinds, [your subject and scene], at night

A couple that work well:

dgt_sirenblinds, a cat sitting on a windowsill at night, red and blue light bands falling across its fur, shallow depth of field, photorealistic

dgt_sirenblinds, a vintage turntable on a wooden shelf at night, red and blue light bands crossing the vinyl, moody atmospheric photography, photorealistic

Limitations: interiors only — that's the whole concept, outdoor prompts won't do anything useful. Most consistent on portraits, still lifes and rooms; full-body and multi-person shots are hit or miss.
