    Bring dramatic contrast and cinematic depth to your generations with Chiaroscuro Lighting Style.

    Inspired by the classic artistic technique made famous by Renaissance and Baroque masters, this LoRA emphasizes bold interplay between light and shadow, creating images with rich atmosphere, sculpted forms, and striking visual impact.

    Trigger: Chiaroscuro Lighting Style

    This style excels at:

    • Dramatic portraits

    • Moody cinematic scenes

    • Fine art-inspired compositions

    • High-contrast fashion photography

    • Character studies with strong directional lighting

    • Dark, atmospheric environments illuminated by a single light source

    For best results, combine the trigger with descriptions of your subject, environment, and desired mood. Terms such as volumetric lighting, deep shadows, rim lighting, candlelight, cinematic atmosphere, and masterpiece can further enhance the effect.

    Whether you're creating timeless paintings, evocative portraits, or cinematic imagery, Chiaroscuro Lighting Style adds depth, emotion, and a powerful sense of visual storytelling to every scene.

    Trying to stop Krea 2 from adding additional front-lighting to characters is like pulling teeth, and even with this LoRA I still can't stop it from doing this. I can add every possible dim lighting related term in the dictionary and it will still add extra front-lighting (like they are in a professional photography studio). I can literally prompt for everything to be pitch black and it will be all bright and lit up.

    This model desperately needs a lighting slider LoRA. As I had this same problem with moody's Z-Image and the light-dark slider LoRA for that worked wonders to fix the problem. But that was the only thing that worked for me, as no level of prompting got rid of the issue.

    the word you need to use is 'silhouette'. I am posting some examples to the gallery now.

    @kermitfrog1202 Thank you! Using the term silhouette managed to completely shut off all the frontal (extra) lighting that I did not specify in the prompt. It even works wonders with just the base model (turbo).

    This is one I have tried that works great, I add at the beginning of the prompt: Very dimly lit interior at night, silhouette, moody ambient glow, deep shadows, practical light sources only (moonlight through window), candid handheld shot, no artificial setup, moody low-key interior, practical lighting, Kodak Portra or filmic tones
