The Fabricant Prompt Guide
A full-body shot of a female model with long, straight, copper-red hair styled with a full fringe, standing on a textured, earthy ground under a muted, gradient sky transitioning from dark blue at the top to a lighter, dusty blue-grey at the bottom. She is wearing a dark, form-fitting, structured leather or faux-leather corset top with fur or shearling trim along the neckline and shoulder straps. Below the corset, she wears a reddish-brown, semi-sheer mini skirt with a subtle floral or botanical pattern, featuring a ruffled or tiered hem. Her legs are encased in voluminous, light brown or beige furry boot-like coverings that extend high up her calves and bunch around her ankles, giving a shaggy, almost creature-like appearance. She holds a small, dark, possibly textured bag or accessory with a metallic ring handle in her left hand, which hangs loosely by her side. The lighting is soft and even, highlighting the textures of the clothing and hair, with a slight ethereal or otherworldly feel. The overall aesthetic is a blend of futuristic, earthy, and avant-garde fashion.
A dreamy, ethereal full-body shot of a young woman with windswept, dark, wavy hair, standing poised on soft, undulating dunes of sand. The landscape is subtly illuminated, with delicate, silhouetted wisps of dry grass and scattered hints of lavender or amethyst flora adding to the mystic atmosphere. Above, the sky is a painterly canvas of twilight, where deep indigo and plum clouds softly merge with washes of rose, amber, and fuchsia, creating a surreal, pre-dawn or post-sunset glow. She is enveloped in a voluminous, cloud-like padded jacket, a gentle hue of pale moonlight yellow or muted chartreuse, with broad, earthy-toned panels suggesting abstract wings or a protective cocoon. The jacket features an intricate, almost celestial pattern on its high, sculptural collar, hinting at ancient constellations or forgotten script. Cascading from beneath, a delicate, weightless skirt of frothy, seafoam-green tulle billows around her, like mist rising from the earth. Her feet are grounded in sleek, obsidian-like tall boots, their polished surface reflecting the faint glow of the twilight sky. The entire scene evokes a sense of quiet wonder, a solitary figure navigating a dreamscape where fashion becomes an extension of the surreal environment, bathed in soft, diffused light that hints at magic and untold stories.
A striking, medium close-up, profile shot of a person with hair neatly pulled back into a low bun, captured with a professional studio camera like a Phase One XF or Hasselblad H6D with a prime lens (e.g., 85mm), set against a vibrant, uniformly lit crimson red background. The camera angle is slightly below eye level, emphasizing the graceful curve of the neck. The subject is wearing a chic, high-collared, perhaps turtleneck, black top or cape with a dramatic, structured, and somewhat geometric silhouette that flares outwards, creating sharp angles. Their face is dramatically illuminated by cool, aqua-blue light from the left, creating strong contrast with the red background, while the right side of their face falls into deep shadow. A single, ornate, tear-drop shaped earring with a central stone and metallic accents dangles from the visible ear, catching the light. The overall effect is minimalist yet impactful, highlighting elegance and bold color contrasts in a high-fashion, artistic manner.
Tips for Enhancing Your Prompts:
A captivating, close-up portrait of a person with slicked-back dark hair, facing directly towards the viewer with a slightly lowered gaze, captured with a professional studio camera and a macro or portrait lens (e.g., 100mm macro or 85mm prime). The camera is positioned at eye level. The subject's skin has a glossy, almost wet appearance, with subtle highlights and possibly glitter or iridescent shimmer on the forehead, cheekbones, and lips. Their eyes feature dramatic, dark, elongated eyeliner or eye makeup, with long, defined lashes. They are wearing striking, intricate, dark, abstract earrings that resemble stylized insect legs or tribal patterns, extending outwards from behind the ears. The background is a solid, vibrant, deep blue. The lighting is dramatic and directional, creating strong shadows across the lower half of the face, particularly the nose and mouth, while highlighting the forehead, eyes, and cheekbones with a cool, possibly bluish light source from above and slightly to the left. The overall aesthetic is avant-garde, ethereal, and mysterious.
A striking, medium close-up portrait of a person with dark skin and a sharply sculpted, high-top fade haircut, looking powerfully towards the right of the frame. The image is captured with a high-end studio camera and a portrait lens (e.g., 85mm prime), at eye level. The subject is wearing a sharp, tailored black blazer with exaggerated, broad shoulders and a deep V-neckline that exposes the chest. The background is a solid, vibrant, deep blue. The lighting is dramatic and artistic, with intense cool blue light illuminating the contours of the face, neck, and shoulders, creating strong highlights and deep shadows that emphasize the bone structure and texture of the skin. There's a subtle metallic or iridescent highlight on the eyelids. The overall aesthetic is bold, futuristic, and high-fashion, reminiscent of artistic editorial photography.
A powerful, full-body portrait of a person with long, straight dark hair, parted in the middle, standing stoically on a small, rugged rock amidst a vast, choppy dark blue ocean. The camera is positioned at eye-level with a medium telephoto lens (e.g., 70-100mm), capturing the subject against the dramatic expanse of water and sky. The subject is wearing a sleek, tailored all-black leather ensemble consisting of a structured, long-sleeved jacket with prominent shoulders and a mid-length, fitted skirt. Their hands are clasped in front. They are wearing dark, pointed-toe heels. The sky above is moody and overcast, with dramatic grey and white clouds, suggesting an impending storm. The lighting is diffused but dramatic, casting subtle highlights on the leather and emphasizing the stark contrast of the figure against the deep blues of the sea and sky, creating an impactful and stoic fashion image.
A captivating, high-fashion portrait capturing the raw, windswept energy of nature blended with a surreal, avant-garde aesthetic. A figure with long, flowing hair, styled with deliberate wildness and possibly subtle, unexpected color streaks (like muted copper or deep crimson), is dramatically swept across their face by an unseen force, revealing only an intense, enigmatic gaze. The image is captured with a professional camera and a wide-angle lens (e.g., 24-35mm) from a low, ground-level perspective, emphasizing the vastness of the environment and the subject's powerful presence. The subject wears an experimental high-fashion dress, perhaps a deconstructed gown with exaggerated, structural elements, possibly incorporating textures like distressed leather, raw silks, or even subtle fur accents on the shoulders or cuffs. The garment is in a deep, rich jewel tone like sapphire, emerald, or ruby, with unexpected cut-outs or asymmetrical draping that hints at both vulnerability and strength. The immediate foreground features dark, tall, untamed grasses, subtly illuminated, while the background reveals soft, undulating mountain ranges shrouded in a mystical, cool-toned mist, creating an otherworldly, layered effect of deep blues and greens. The overall color grading is a harmonious blend of cool, desaturated blues and greens from the landscape, contrasted with rich, jewel-toned accents and warm, ethereal highlights on the figure. The lighting is dramatic and directional, suggesting a mystical twilight or pre-dawn, with pockets of light emphasizing the dynamic movement of the hair and the intricate details of the dress, creating a dreamlike, powerful fashion narrative that transcends reality.
A haunting, full-body portrait, drawing inspiration from the dramatic scale and dark mood of the Eiffel Tower backdrop combined with the gritty realism and solitary figure of the overcast landscape. A lone, enigmatic figure stands amidst a desolate, overgrown field of dark, tall grass, stretching towards a murky, moonlit sky. The camera is positioned low, emphasizing the subject's imposing presence, captured with a wide-angle lens (e.g., 24-35mm) on a professional camera. The figure wears an oversized, deconstructed trench coat in a dark, textured fabric like distressed leather or heavy wool, with exaggerated, almost architectural shoulders, suggesting both protection and a foreboding silhouette. Beneath the coat, a hint of a hooded garment is visible, adding to the layers of mystery. The head is visible, with subtle features obscured by deep shadows and the harsh, dramatic lighting. The lighting is stark and dramatic, with a single, harsh light source from above illuminating only parts of the figure, while the rest of the scene remains shrouded in deep, shadowy blues and greys, evoking a sense of gothic unease and avant-garde fashion. The overall aesthetic is a blend of post-apocalyptic high fashion and dark fantasy, with a pervasive sense of isolation and chilling grandeur.
A striking, full-body high-fashion portrait captured with a professional studio camera and a wide-angle lens (e.g., 35mm-50mm), from a slightly low angle. The subject, with dark, neatly styled hair that has subtle, unusual long strands or a unique cut, stands amidst a dense, wild growth of tall, dry grasses with some ethereal, glowing elements suggesting an otherworldly flora. The background features a large, dramatic, circular spotlight effect on a dark, mysterious backdrop, creating a theatrical atmosphere. The model wears an oversized, unconventional coat or jacket with a voluminous silhouette and a mix of textures—perhaps a checkered or plaid pattern with contrasting solid dark panels and unexpected details like rope ties or frayed edges. Beneath, hints of a crisp blue shirt are visible, alongside dark trousers with a bold, contrasting 'I' or similar graphic element on the thigh. Their feet are encased in sturdy, dark combat boots with prominent, light-colored straps or details, grounding the fantastical outfit in rugged practicality. The lighting is a blend of dramatic, direct spotlights that cast deep shadows and highlight the textures of the garments, combined with a diffused, cool, ambient light that gives the scene an ethereal glow. The overall color grading leans towards muted, desaturated tones with unexpected pops of color, creating a blend of avant-garde fashion and a slightly eerie, natural yet surreal environment.
