Describe a portrait with consistent light, framing and expression. Check identity, skin detail and file dimensions before using the image.

Read the full prompt
Create a realistic portrait concept of [ADULT SUBJECT DESCRIPTION], using an authorized reference if supplied. Frame [CROP] at eye level with [EXPRESSION] and [OUTFIT]. Use a soft key light from [DIRECTION], restrained fill and a simple [BACKGROUND]. Preserve natural skin texture and believable facial proportions. Keep the face comfortably sharp while the background is softer. Avoid exaggerated retouching, extra features and distracting text. Select actual resolution and aspect ratio in the tool; camera-like descriptions are visual directions, not capture metadata.
Describe light and framing before equipment
A clear lighting direction and crop give more useful guidance than a long camera specification. Choose whether the portrait is head-and-shoulders, waist-up or full length, and leave space where the image will be cropped later.
Example: a calm studio portrait
Try “An adult with short curly hair wearing a charcoal shirt, head-and-shoulders framing, gentle expression, soft light from the left and a warm-gray background.” Keep the opposite cheek slightly darker so the face has shape without a harsh contrast.
If the skin looks waxy, reduce retouching language and ask for subtle natural texture. If one eye is unusually soft, reduce the requested shallow-focus effect.
Inspect the result closely
Check eyes, ears, hairline, teeth and any visible hands at full size. With a real reference, confirm permission and compare identifying features rather than assuming a match. The result is a generated portrait concept, not evidence that a person attended a studio session. Verify the downloaded dimensions instead of treating “8K” or a camera name as a technical guarantee.
