Capturing Mohair Fiber Texture

Brushed mohair gets its distinct look from raised surface fuzz that catches light at sharp angles. To make the effect obvious in your prompts:

• Use rim lighting (a sharp light placed behind your subject) to make the delicate outer fibers glow.
• Specify dark backdrops so the soft fibrous silhouette cleanly separates from the background.
• Avoid flat studio lighting, which buries the fine teasing into flat fabric.
