Prompt

Studio portrait of {{pet}}, sitting and looking at the camera with {{attitude}}. Seamless solid {{backdrop_color}} backdrop, no texture, with a very subtle gradient behind the animal. Half-body framing at the pet's eye level, camera lowered to its height. Lighting: large softbox on one side and a white reflector on the other, a rim light from behind outlining every hair along the edge, lively catchlights in the eyes. 85mm lens at f/4, precise focus on the eyes and nose, fine natural fur detail: whiskers, tufts and the texture of the nose are all visible. {{accessory}}. Rich but realistic colors, professional pet photography finish, sharp and clean image with room around the subject for a square or vertical crop.

How to use it

  1. Be specific about breed, coat color and one distinctive trait (a floppy ear, a white patch).
  2. Pick a backdrop color that contrasts with the coat: mustard for a black dog, teal for a ginger cat.
  3. If you want it to look like your actual pet, use your tool's image reference feature.

Usage example

Pet: a black-and-white border collie with one floppy ear · Attitude: a curious head tilt · Backdrop: mustard yellow · Accessory: a red plaid bandana around the neck.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make it look like my own dog or cat?

Text alone gives you an animal of the same breed and colors, not your exact pet. For a true likeness, use a tool that accepts an image reference and upload a well-lit photo.

Which backdrop color should I choose?

One that complements or contrasts with the coat. Muted tones (sage, terracotta, dusty blue) look elegant as framed prints; saturated colors work better on social media.
