Black And White Portrait Generation Prompt | HowToWritePrompt

A structured Image Generation prompt optimized for midjourney. Utilizes a 24mm optical perspective and Soft overcast diffused daylight through a large north-facing window to produce crisp, high-detail results without artificial smoothing.

Select AI Model
A top-angle and close-up black and white portrait of my face, focused on the head facing forward. Use a {argument name="lens look" default="35mm"} lens look, {argument name="quality" default="10.7K 4HD"} quality. {argument name="expression" default="Proud"} expression. Deep black shadow background - only the face, the upper chest, and the shoulder, Eye-level intimate portrait with shallow depth of field, captured on Leica M11 with Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 ASPH lens, Volumetric golden-hour rim lighting at 3800K with soft atmospheric haze, authentic skin micro-textures, true-to-life surface physics, ultra-detailed editorial photography, Slight low angle looking up to create visual presence, captured on 24mm wide-angle perspective lens, Soft overcast diffused daylight through a large north-facing window, natural surface physics, 8K ultra-detailed editorial photography --ar 9:16 --v 6.1 --style raw

  • Subject Definition: A top-angle and close-up black and white portrait of my face, focused on the head facing forward. Use a {argument name="lens look" default="35mm"} lens look, {argument name="quality" default="10.7K 4HD"} quality. {argument name="expression" default="Proud"} expression. Deep black shadow background - only the face, the upper chest, and the shoulder, Eye-level intimate portrait with shallow depth of field, captured on Leica M11 with Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 ASPH lens, Volumetric golden-hour rim lighting at 3800K with soft atmospheric haze, authentic skin micro-textures, true-to-life surface physics, ultra-detailed editorial photography

  • Framing & Shot Type: High-angle overhead view (Slight low angle looking up to create visual presence)

  • Optics & Focal Intent: 24mm wide-angle perspective lens at f/4.0 clean editorial sharpness across subject features

  • Lighting Atmosphere: Soft overcast diffused daylight through a large north-facing window

  • Color Grading: Warm and cool cinematic contrast with natural skin tones

  • Model Constraints: Preserves natural skin texture; avoids oversaturated smoothing.


💡 How To Customize: Replace {SUBJECT} with your exact character or scene, or switch the Aspect Ratio to 9:16 for mobile reels and wallpaper formats.
