Stylish man holding lighter in dark studio portrait

Prompt

A full-body studio portrait of a stylish man with dark hair and beard in a moody atmosphere

Subject: handsome young man with short dark hair and well-groomed beard, standing upright looking down at his lighter

Clothing: black button-down shirt untucked over slim-fit black jeans, silver belt buckle, leather dress shoes, wristwatch on left arm

Action: holding a lit Zippo-style lighter in right hand near mouth exhaling smoke, head tilted downward focused on flame and cigarette ember glowing softly

Environment: dark neutral backdrop with subtle gradient from deep brown to black suggesting controlled studio setting

Camera: full-length vertical composition capturing entire figure including feet, slight low angle emphasizing stature against darkness

Lighting: dramatic warm spotlight illuminating subject's face torso while surrounding areas fade into shadow creating high contrast chiaroscuro effect; smoke swirling around base of legs adds ethereal glow catching light rays;

Description

This prompt is useful for creating cinematic character portraits, moody editorial spreads, and album cover art with a strong narrative focus. The combination of 'dramatic warm spotlight' against the 'dark neutral backdrop' establishes high contrast chiaroscuro, which isolates the subject's face and torso while allowing the smoke to catch light rays, preventing the entire scene from becoming uniformly black.

Suggestions

Change 'Zippo-style lighter' to 'vintage cigarette lighter' for a more specific prop feel.
Adjust 'deep brown to black' to 'charcoal grey to black' for a cooler overall tone.
Modify 'full-length vertical composition' to 'three-quarter length' to focus more on the upper body interaction.
