Pose: relaxed, leaning back in a chair with one arm resting on the chess table and the other near his chin; direct gaze at the camera. Props: classic wooden chessboard with ongoing mid-game pieces, evoking strategic tension. Lighting: moody warm light from a side source; shadows create depth and texture on the shirt and wall panels.

Why This Prompt Works
The high word count gives the model rich context, reducing ambiguity and producing more consistent results. The photorealistic and portrait aesthetic signals are specific enough that the model can lock onto a distinct visual language. Explicit lighting direction (a leading signal in prompt engineering) significantly improves photo-realism and composition. Well-crafted prompts like this one combine subject precision, style vocabulary, and rendering hints — the three pillars of reliable AI image generation.
Best Model
FLUX is strongly recommended for this prompt. FLUX 1.1 Pro excels at photorealism and handles complex lighting instructions more accurately than older models.
