The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the prompt updates.
A close animal portrait lit almost entirely from behind and one side by a cold blue source, so the outline of the head glows and the face itself falls into deep shadow. Pure black background with nothing in it, one small bright highlight in the eye, the rim picked out hair by hair against the dark. Sharp, quiet, no colour other than the blue light and the black.
