Is InstantID + Canny still the best method in 2025 for generating consistent LoRA reference images?

Hey everyone,
I’m building a LoRA for a custom female character and I need around 10–20 consistent face images (different angles, light, expressions, etc). I’m planning to use the InstantID + Canny ControlNet workflow in ComfyUI.

Before I finalize my setup, I want to ask:

1. Is InstantID + Canny still the most reliable method in 2025 for producing identity-consistent images for LoRA training?

2. Are there any improved workflows (InstantID + Depth, FaceID, or new consistency nodes) that give better results?

3. Does anyone have a ComfyUI graph or recommended settings they can share?

4. Anything I should avoid when generating reference shots (lighting, resolution, negative prompts, etc.)?

I’m aiming for high identity consistency (90%+), so any updated advice from 2025 users would really help.

Thanks!

How do I stop female characters from dancing and bouncing their boobs in WAN 2.2 video?

Everytime I include a reference character of a woman she just starts dancing and her boobs start bouncing for literally no reason. The prompt I used for one of the videos is "the woman pulls out a gun and aims at the man" but while aiming the gun she just started doing tiktok dances and furiously shaking her hips.

I included in the negative prompts "dancing, tiktok dances, shaking hips" etc... but it doesn't seem to be having any effect.

Edit: I'm using the Wan smooth mix checkpoint. Does that affect the motion that much? The characters only bounce and dance when they are 3D models, real women just follow the prompt.

Any suggestions on getting images that look like they came from a Sears Portrait Studio?
