Editorial Gel-Lit Studio Portrait (Midjourney v7)

editorial studio portrait of {{subject}}, high-fashion magazine style, dual colored gel lighting: {{gel_color_1}} key light from camera left, {{gel_color_2}} rim light from behind right, deep shadow falloff between them, beauty dish catchlights in the eyes, direct confident gaze into camera, wearing {{wardrobe}}, seamless {{backdrop_color}} paper backdrop, shot on 85mm f/1.4, tack-sharp focus on the eyes, natural skin texture with visible pores, unretouched editorial finish --ar 4:5 --style raw --s 100 --v 7 Recipe notes: - Gel pairs that reliably read as intentional rather than accidental: magenta + cyan (club/edgy), amber + teal (cinematic), red + deep blue (dramatic), lavender + warm white (soft beauty). Pick the pair first — it IS the mood. - --style raw with --s at or below 100 is what keeps v7 from airbrushing the pores away; push --s above 200 and the "unretouched" instruction loses the fight. - Keep the backdrop a third color that sits between the gels ("charcoal", "slate gray", "deep plum") — a white backdrop swallows both gels and flattens the look. - --ar 4:5 is the editorial/Instagram crop; switch to --ar 2:3 for a full cover mock and add "negative space above the head for masthead". - {{subject}} works best with age + character, not adjectives: "a 60-year-old ballet teacher with silver cropped hair" beats "a beautiful woman".
