Half of the face disappears into shadow. Outfit: bare shoulders and upper chest; for women, a simple dark off-shoulder top. Setting: a plain pure black background. Lighting: one soft low-key light from the right that falls on the cheek, neck and shoulder, with warm skin tones and the rest of the frame fading to black. Camera: eye level, close head-and-shoulders shot with the subject slightly off-centre and empty black space above. Mood: quiet, intense, moody. Output must be STRICTLY 3:4 vertical (Instagram post). no text, no watermark, no logos, no extra people, no distorted hands or faces.

About this image

Darkness does most of the work in this portrait. A person with dark curls bows their head and turns away, and half of the face fades into a pure black background. One soft light picks out the cheek, neck and shoulder, while slim sunglasses and a small hoop earring add a little edge. The mood is quiet and intense.

Attach your reference photo in ChatGPT, paste the prompt and generate the image. The prompt keeps your face, skin tone and age, and it asks for a simple dark off-shoulder top for women. To change it up, try a thin rim of blue light on the shoulder, or add a black shirt with an open collar.

Creator's tip: If the image comes out too bright, ask ChatGPT to darken the background and keep the light on one side of the face only.
