Studio three-point relight from a window-lit portrait

№ 22

№ The prompt

Re-light this portrait with a three-point studio setup without moving the subject: a soft key light from the front-left, a gentle fill to open the shadows, and a rim light behind to separate the head from the background. Replace the flat window light with controlled directional light and soft, believable shadows. Keep the face shape, hairline, expression, and skin texture exactly as in the original — only the lighting changes. Aim for an 85mm-lens look, not a render.

№ How to use it

  • Input

    A front-facing portrait under flat or uneven ambient/window light. Use a synthetic or stock-style person, not a real identifiable individual.

  • Preserve

    Face shape, hairline, expression, and skin texture — only the lighting changes.

  • Avoid

    Moving or reshaping the subject, adding hard unnatural shadows, or smoothing skin. Compare against the original to confirm it still looks like the same person.
