The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the prompt updates.

Prompt

An editorial portrait for a magazine profile. A woman in her sixties sits at a cluttered workbench in a ceramics studio, lit only by a large north facing window to her left. Framed wide enough to show the shelves and the work in progress behind her, settled and unperformed expression, hands resting on the bench. Shot on a 35mm lens at f2, natural colour, gentle contrast, retouching that leaves skin texture intact.

Tips

1Available light only. Naming the window direction does more than any lighting term.
2Ask for skin texture to be kept or the face goes waxy.
3Clutter is good. An empty room looks like a set.
