What is Tenebrism SREF style
The Chiaroscuro style is defined by its profound use of light and shadow to create intense volume and drama, often resulting in near-monochrome compositions. When using Midjourney, incorporating specific lighting terms helps achieve this look. A successful prompt utilizing this technique focuses heavily on high contrast, deep shadows, and selective illumination to reveal intricate textures, giving output a powerful, often Old Master-like, visual impact.
