FAQ
- What is split lighting with colored gels?One side of the face is lit with blue light, the opposite side with magenta light. The colors mix subtly across the nose and cheekbones. Common in high-fashion and music portraiture.
- Will the blue background match the blue lighting?The prompt specifies 'deep blue background with a smooth gradient' and 'contrasting magenta and blue lighting'. Background blue should be complementary but not identical to the key light blue.
- What is 'shallow depth of field' here?Face and shoulders in sharp focus, background slightly soft. Separates subject from gradient background. Typical of cinematic portraiture.
