Sculptural Elegance Vertical

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.

Requires the betterprompt CLI to run. For installation and general CLI usage, refer to the betterprompt skill in your skill list or if not yet available in skill list, install via npx skills add https://github.com/BetterPromptme/betterprompt/skills --skill betterprompt

Inputs

textInputs

Pass each text input using --input <key>=<value> flags.

imageInputs

This prompt requires exactly 1 image. You must pass exactly 1 image flag (no more, no fewer), in the order matching the descriptions below.

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-preview and its available options. Look up gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview in the betterprompt resources output (filtered to modality "image") and show its availableOptions as: 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.

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 skillVersionId as the positional argument (for this skill version, use 01997ea1-e3a8-7b77-a8f7-7f4174a4b7ef).

Command form:

betterprompt generate 01997ea1-e3a8-7b77-a8f7-7f4174a4b7ef \
  [--input <key>=<value>] \
  [--image-input-url <url>] \
  [--image-input-base64 <base64>] \
  [--image-input-path <absolute path to image>] \
  [--model <model>] \
  [--options <options JSON>] \
  [--json]

Notes:

• Pass each text input as a separate --input <key>=<value> flag.
• Pass each image using one of --image-input-url, --image-input-base64, or --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 --model and BetterPrompt will use the default model: gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview.
• If the human does not mention options, omit --options and BetterPrompt will use the default options: {}.
• If the run times out, the response will include a runId you can use to fetch the result later.

Example (using defaults shown above):

betterprompt generate 01997ea1-e3a8-7b77-a8f7-7f4174a4b7ef \
  --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 '{}'
