What this block is for

Light makes or breaks a fitness photo. These prompts are organised by the lighting they use, so you can pick the mood first and the subject second.

Getting a consistent look across a trainer's feed, a campaign or a portfolio.

How to use these prompts

  1. Upload a clear, well-lit photo of the person if your AI tool supports a reference image.
  2. Paste the prompt and keep its first sentence so the face and features stay the same.
  3. Change clothing, colours or setting to make it yours.
  4. Generate three or four variations and keep the most natural one.
  5. Name the light in the prompt (e.g. 'two rim lights from behind') — it is the biggest style lever.
