Introduction
DreamBooth fine-tunes a pretrained text-to-image model using a small set of subject images, associating a unique identifier with that subject. It brings preservation of identity into the generative process and supplies technical context for later customization of people, characters and products, as well as disputes concerning likeness.

Method and contribution
DreamBooth fine-tunes a pretrained model on a few subject images, binding an identifier to that subject while a prior-preservation loss maintains broader class generation. Demonstrations place the subject in new poses, settings and lighting. The aim is continuity of identifying features, not guaranteed fidelity to every real-world detail.

Art-historical interpretation
Personalisation moves from prompt technique into training. Selection and authorisation of reference material become production decisions for people, works or products. Reproducing features technically does not settle who may decide how those features are used.
