Harsh lighting is a dramatic visual technique characterized by a strong, direct light source that creates high contrast, sharp-edged shadows, and a sense of intensity. It's often used in film noir and dramatic photography to evoke feelings of tension, mystery, or realism. In Midjourney, incorporating the harsh lighting style into your prompt can produce powerfully atmospheric and cinematic images. This style is excellent for highlighting textures, defining forms, and adding a raw, emotional depth to any subject, transforming a simple scene into a compelling visual narrative.
