Your prompt

A cinematic portrait photograph of {{subject}} captured with dramatic rim lighting that creates a luminous outline around their silhouette. The lighting setup uses a powerful key light positioned behind and slightly to the side of the subject, casting a brilliant edge light that separates them from the background while a subtle fill light prevents the face from falling into complete shadow. The subject is positioned in a three-quarter pose with confident expression, their features sculpted by the interplay of light and shadow. Shot with an 85mm lens at f/2.8 to achieve shallow depth of field, the background dissolves into a soft {{background-mood}} gradient that enhances the dramatic lighting effect. The atmosphere is {{mood}} with subtle environmental haze that catches and diffuses the rim light, creating volumetric lighting effects. Professional cinematography quality with meticulous attention to skin texture, eye catchlight, and the precise balance between highlight and shadow detail. --ar {{aspect-ratio}} --v 7 --s 300

How to use it
