Backlighting AI Art Prompts
22 AI image style prompts built on backlighting. Each is a reusable style block with a sample image: paste it into Midjourney, Flux, Stable Diffusion, GPT Image or any text-to-image model, then add your own subject at the end.
20 of them also have a model-neutral version with artist names removed, for hosted models that refuse them.
Artists referenced in these prompts include Saul Leiter, Lotte Reiniger, Lyonel Feininger, Béatrice Coron.
