AI Image Prompt
PromptCreate a studio portrait of an adult man lit with bold neon gel lighting. Use a magenta key light from the left and a cyan rim light from behind on the right, creating hard-edged shadows and vivid colored separation against a dark background. Pose the subject with a confident direct gaze and relaxed shoulders, wearing a simple dark outfit that reflects the colored light subtly. Frame a tight head-and-shoulders composition with an 85mm lens and shallow depth of field. Preserve realistic skin texture and accurate color separation. The final image should look like a high-impact contemporary studio portrait with dramatic neon contrast, aspect ratio 3:4
