Relighting a studio half-body portrait from a reference image

Using a low-light indoor half-body photo as the reference image, an edit instruction rewrites the lighting into professional studio lighting: the key light is positioned 45 degrees to the front-left of the subject, a softbox sculpts facial dimension, a slight fill light on the right suppresses shadows, the background is darkened to neutral gray with a faint rim light added. The reference image is responsible for preserving the subject's identity, hairstyle, pose, and composition, while the instruction changes only the lighting, color temperature, and background, making it suitable for validating FLUX.2 image editing's ability to "adjust the mood while preserving the subject's position." It can be extended to professional headshots, unified styling for team pages, and quick revisions of résumé and social media profile photos.

Based on the reference photo, generate an editorial-style studio half-body portrait: keep the subject's identity, facial features, hairstyle, clothing, and exact pose unchanged while replacing the lighting setup. The key light comes from a large softbox at a 45-degree angle to the front-left, with soft fill light on the right brightening shadow detail to avoid a flat-looking face, and a subtle rim light separating the shoulders and hair from the background. Change the background to a smooth, neutral mid-gray seamless backdrop with a soft gradient falloff. Clean commercial retouching, visible skin texture preserved, natural catchlights in the eyes, neutral 5500K white balance, shallow depth of field with sharp focus on the eyes, 3:4 vertical composition, headroom above the hair, cropped at mid-chest.
