Chiaroscuro Man — AI Image Prompt
Prompt
Generate an image with an intense chiaroscuro effect. The man should retain his original features and expression. Introduce harsh, directional light, appearing to come from above and slightly to the left, casting deep, defined shadows across the face. Only slivers of light illuminating his eyes and cheekbones, the rest of the face is in deep shadow

Why This Prompt Works
The high word count gives the model rich context, reducing ambiguity and producing more consistent results. The photorealistic and cinematic aesthetic signals are specific enough that the model can lock onto a distinct visual language. The cinematic framing instruction tells the model to treat composition and depth-of-field as a film director would, not as a snapshot. 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.
