What it does
This prompt instructs an AI image generator to create a vertical 1080×1920 cinematic portrait that preserves the subject’s facial identity while styling them in a black blazer under stark, high-contrast lighting. It guides the composition by specifying a camera angle, a focal emphasis, an intended mood or theme, and a bold background color to heighten contrast with luminous skin and dark clothing. It also defines the subject’s facial expression, resulting in a dramatic, tightly art-directed portrait with consistent features and a clear visual tone.

| Index | Required | Description | Allowed CLI flags |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Yes | A portrail photo | --image-input-url <url> or --image-input-path <path> |
Models and options
This skill's modality is: image.
To discover which model values you can use (and which options keys/values are valid for each model), run:
betterprompt resources --models-only --json
Then filter the returned JSON array to entries where modality is "image".
How to run
Step 1: Collect inputs
First, run betterprompt resources --models-only --json and filter to modality: "image" to discover valid models and available options:
betterprompt resources --models-only --json
Use only the models and option values that appear in the filtered results.
Then collect all inputs from the human:
- Optional text inputs (use defaults if not provided by the human):
insert_angle(default:slightly low, upward angle)insert_emphasis(default:jawline and neck)insert_mood_or_theme(default:quiet dominance and sculptural elegance)Insert_background_color(default:Deep, saturated crimson red)insert_facial_expression(default:cackling)
- Required images:
- Exactly 1 images: image 1 (A portrail photo). Images must be provided in this order.
- Optional: model and options.
- Present the human with the default model
gemini-2.5-flash-image-previewand its available options. Look upgemini-2.5-flash-image-previewin thebetterprompt resourcesoutput (filtered to modality"image") and show itsavailableOptionsas:key: val1, val2 (default), val3 | key2: .... Mark a value(default)if it matches these defaults:{}. - If the human does not specify, defaults are used: model
gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview, options{}. Other models from the resources call are also available.
- Present the human with the default model
If the required images are missing, ask the human for what's missing. Do not assume or fabricate values. Tell the human: "Please provide images in this order: image 1 (A portrail photo)".
Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI
Use the frontmatter's name as the positional argument (for this skill, use sculptural-elegance-vertical).
Command form:
betterprompt generate sculptural-elegance-vertical \
[--input <key>=<value>] \
[--image-input-url <url>] \
[--image-input-path <path>] \
[--model <model>] \
[--options <options JSON>] \
[--json]
Notes:
- Pass each text input as a separate
--input <key>=<value>flag. - Pass each image using
--image-input-urlor--image-input-path, in the order matching the imageInputs descriptions (image 1 first, then image 2, etc.). - If the human does not mention a model, omit
--modeland BetterPrompt will use the default model:gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview. - If the human does not mention options, omit
--optionsand BetterPrompt will use the default options:{}. - If the run times out, the response will include a
runIdyou can use to fetch the result later.
Example (using defaults shown above):
betterprompt generate sculptural-elegance-vertical \
--input 'insert_angle=slightly low, upward angle' \
--input 'insert_emphasis=jawline and neck' \
--input 'insert_mood_or_theme=quiet dominance and sculptural elegance' \
--input 'Insert_background_color=Deep, saturated crimson red' \
--input insert_facial_expression=cackling \
--image-input-url https://example.com/image1.png \
--model gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview \
--options '{}'
