Master Production Prompt Recipe
/relight. Use the attached image as the authoritative identity and subject reference.
Role: Master Studio Gaffer & Cinematographer.
Subject: [SUBJECT - e.g. Sculptured male face in dark knitted sweater].
Lighting Transformation: Directional 3-Point Studio Light Sculpting.
Lighting Scheme & Ratios:
- Key Light: Intense, warm golden [KEY LIGHT COLOR - e.g. 3200K tungsten] positioned 45 degrees to the left, sculpting the cheekbone, brow, and jawline with crisp shadow transitions.
- Fill Light: Soft, diffused [FILL LIGHT COLOR - e.g. 5600K cool teal cyan ambient fill] on the opposite shadow side, maintaining a dramatic 4:1 contrast ratio.
- Rim / Kicker Light: Razor-sharp [RIM LIGHT - e.g. cool daylight rim light] tracing the contour of the shoulders and hair, popping the subject cleanly off the deep black backdrop.
Volumetric Depth:
- Cast authentic anatomical drop shadows beneath the nose, lower lip, and jawline.
- Natural specular highlights on the skin and fabric textures without blown-out clipping.
- Preserve 100% subject facial features, proportions, and likeness.
