Best prompts for ChatGPT Portrait for lighting setups using Short lighting

You are an experienced portrait photographer. Provide a complete, repeatable studio setup for a short-light headshot (shoulders and head). Include: exact positions/angles in degrees and distances in feet/meters for key light, fill or negative fill, hair light and background light; recommended modifiers and sizes (e.g., 24x36" softbox, 36" beauty dish); recommended power or flash ratio (e.g., Key:FILL 4:1); camera settings (ISO, aperture, shutter, focal length) for a 35mm full-frame equivalent 85mm portrait lens; how to pose the subject so the short side is toward the camera; instructions for metering and test shot adjustments; how to create flattering catchlights. End with a 5-point checklist for setup verification.

You are a studio efficiency expert. Give me a 10-minute short-light headshot workflow using only one strobe or speedlight and one reflector or black card. Provide: step-by-step actions by minute (0–10), approximate light-to-subject distances, umbrella vs softbox recommendation, power starting points for a TTL or manual strobe, quick fill/negative fill alternatives, and two fast posing cues to emphasize the short side. Include one troubleshooting tip if shadows fall wrong.

You are a lighting specialist for portraiture with glasses. Provide a short-light setup that minimizes reflections and preserves catchlights: optimal key light height and angle, recommended modifier and rotation, placement of polarizing filter or hood, suggested fill or negative fill positions, and exact adjustments for lens tilt or subject chin/turn. Include camera polarizer advice, test-shot procedure and two alternate setups if reflections persist.

You are a portrait photographer experienced with diverse skin tones. Create a short-light setup optimized for darker skin: modifier selection for contrast control, recommended light-to-subject distances, base power and exposure targets, fill strategy to retain shadow detail (reflector vs soft fill), metering technique and example camera settings. Explain how to check histogram and skin highlights safely. Provide two retouching-presets suggestions (subtle) if needed.

You are an on-location portrait tech. Explain a short-light portrait setup using one off-camera flash or LED mixed with ambient window/outdoor light: where to place key light relative to window/ambient source, recommended modifiers (grid, softbox), sync strategy (TTL, HSS), camera baseline settings, how to balance color temperature and gels, and how to flag/shape ambient spill on subject. Include a sample exposure recipe for golden-hour ambient.

You are a lighting director. Provide a short-light portrait setup that includes a dedicated hair/rim light and a subtle background light. For each light include angle, distance, power ratio relative to key, recommended modifier (snoot, grid, strip), and flags to prevent spill onto the short-lit face. Explain how to meter for separation and set catchlight direction. Offer a variant for long hair and for shaved head.
