Dramatic Golden Hour Chiaroscuro Portrait

Description

A structured JSON prompt for generating a moody, high-contrast portrait of a young woman. It specifies a cinematic, chiaroscuro aesthetic using strong directional golden hour light from the left to create a dramatic shadow that splits the face, emphasizing the hair and illuminated side against a deeply shadowed background.
