A LoRA trained with Z Image Turbo at 3000 steps on documentary-style candid photography images.
Trigger Word: RAD26
RAD26 captures the defining visual trend of 2026
Raw Authenticity Documentary (RAD). A direct reaction
against over-produced AI imagery, RAD26 embraces
imperfection, mess, genuine emotion and unscripted
human moments. Every output feels like it was captured
by a documentary photographer who just happened to be
in the room.
This is not fashion. This is not cinematic.
This is REAL.

- Behind-the-scenes and caught-in-the-moment energy
- Cinéma vérité documentary framing
- Wide angle intimate room perspectives
