Ambient Light
The overall base illumination of an environment determines how much detail remains visible in shadows and backgrounds.
Prompt
Use Ambient Light: increase broad indirect environmental illumination from the existing room surfaces and window, lifting the overall shadow floor throughout the room and on the original character. Make corners, underside details and the distant wall more readable without creating a dominant new key direction, hard highlight, rim or projected pattern. Preserve subtle contact shadows and unevenness from occlusion so it still feels like a real softly lit space, not a flat brightness filter.

Other techniques
Soft LightA light source that is large relative to the subject creates gradual shadow transitions, preserving delicate expressions and textures.Mood
Shallow FocusKeep only a limited range of distances sharp to separate an important subject from a complex background.Composition
Gobo LightingUse cutouts, window grids or patterns to shape projected light and make light and shadow part of the setting.Scene

Effect comparison
In the baseline image, the studio corners and Ruk's shadowed surfaces are relatively dark. The ambient-light version raises visibility across the corners, floor and shadowed figure without introducing a prominent new rim or patterned cast shadow. The viewer can read the space more fully, while contact shadows beneath the feet still anchor the figure to the floor.
