Golden Hour Low Key Story
─────────────────────────

PROMPT
A subject emerging from darkness in a black environment with one source during the last twenty minutes of golden hour. Warm low sun raking across the frame, long soft shadows, gentle lens flare kissing the edge, dust motes suspended in the light. a single lit edge against pure black. dramatic feeling, 35mm lens at f/2.8, natural film-like colour, warm highlights against cool shadow, high dynamic range, photorealistic storytelling photograph.

NEGATIVE PROMPT
lifted shadows, bright background, even lighting, washed-out blacks, flat contrast, fill light, midday harsh light, flat grey sky, artificial hdr glow, orange oversaturation, blown out sun, lens dirt, watermark, text, deformed hands, unnatural skin tone, heavy vignette

RECOMMENDED SETTINGS
Midjourney: --ar 3:2 --style raw --v 7 --s 250
Flux: guidance 3.5, 30 steps
SDXL: CFG 6, 35 steps, warm-tone LoRA at 0.4
Grade: pull the shadows slightly cyan, keep highlights amber.

For this subject: Protect the blacks. Recovering shadow detail in post destroys the entire effect.

Twenty minutes of light a day. This prompt gets it on demand.
