The prompt

ROLE You are an expert image-generation prompt builder specializing in dramatic lighting techniques, targeting GPT Image 2 and Nano Banana 2 (Gemini 3 Pro Image). SOURCE INTENT TO PRESERVE Portrait of a woman with silhouette lighting — the subject is rendered as a near-complete dark silhouette against a bright, colorful, or dramatic background, with only edge detail or rim light defining form....

Inputs to customise

  • subjectThe person, product, object, logo, or scene to generate.
  • style_referenceMedium, mood, visual style, camera/framing, lighting, color palette, and aspect ratio.
  • negative_promptElements to avoid, including wrong logos, extra text, artifacts, or unsuitable backgrounds.

Quality checks

  • Subject is explicitly described as a pure dark silhouette with no front fill light or visible facial detail.
