Studio Lighting Portrait Photo Editing AI Prompt

This prompt relights a flat or poorly lit portrait by adding professional studio lighting: a soft key light, gentle fill and controlled shadows, so the subject looks sculpted and dimensional. Useful for headshots, portraits and profile photos.

AI Photo Editing Prompt

PromptEdit the uploaded portrait by relighting it with professional studio lighting. Add a soft directional key light from the upper left that sculpts the face, a gentle fill light that lifts the shadows, and a subtle rim light that separates the subject from the background. Keep the person's facial identity, features, pose, clothing and background completely unchanged. Deepen the shadows naturally, keep realistic skin texture, and add soft catchlights in the eyes. The final image should look like the same person photographed in a professional studio, dramatic yet natural, aspect ratio 3:4

Negative Prompt

Negative Promptchanged face, unnatural skin, harsh shadows, overexposed highlights, cartoonish, altered background, watermark
