Description

This prompt is useful for creating edgy character portraits, album art concepts, and high-contrast editorial spreads. The combination of 'dramatic chiaroscuro lighting from one side' sculpts the face by emphasizing texture on the 'freckles' while the 'shallow depth of field blurring background completely to black' ensures zero distraction from the subject's gaze.

Suggestions

Change 'dark leather jacket' to 'distressed brown leather jacket' for more character.
Add 'sweatshop grit' to the environment description for mood.
Swap 'white crew-neck t-shirt' for 'black turtleneck' to deepen contrast.
