Prompt · September 19, 2026
A dramatic rim lit portrait in a dark [setting, for example an empty warehouse], 85mm lens at f/1.8. Two narrow strip lights stand behind the subject at either side, drawing bright edges down the arms and along the jaw, with only a whisper of fill from the front so the face stays mostly in shadow. Dust and haze in the air catch the beams. A [age range] person in a plain [outfit colour] top, head turned toward one of the lights. Almost monochrome, deep blacks, high contrast. Photorealistic, aspect ratio 4:5. No text, no watermark, no extra people.
