MAKE IT YOUR OWN

The prompt behind the perspective.

Adapt the subject, keep the camera. These reusable prompts are based on the examples; your results will vary.

Create one photorealistic 16:9 cinematic film still, edge to edge.

SUBJECT
Choose the main subject's appearance and clothing, or optionally attach an identity reference. When a reference is supplied, preserve that person's identity and original outfit without copying its background or layout. The scene and camera placement below take priority over showing facial detail. Preserve the reference's apparent age, facial features, hairstyle, natural skin tone, proportions, garment cut, colors, materials, footwear, and worn accessories wherever visible. Do not copy its pose, handheld props, lighting, or color treatment. Without a reference or a supplied subject description, choose a scene-appropriate adult and outfit.

SCENE AND CAMERA
In an empty waiting room, use an 85mm lens at seated eye level for a tight left-facing profile of the subject. Place their face close to the left edge, leaving only a slim strip of space in front of the nose and roughly two-thirds of the frame as empty wall behind their head. The subject looks toward something outside the frame on the left; do not turn their gaze into the large empty area. Show the head and upper shoulder, preserving a true profile with one eye naturally visible. A closed door sits far back on the right, softly resolved, with a thin warm line of light beneath it. Cool late-afternoon window light falls across the near cheek and the wall, maintaining natural skin color. Focus on the visible eye, with a gentle falloff toward the far background. Keep the horizon level and the crop intentionally uncomfortable. Unease comes from the restricted looking room and unexplained light behind the subject, not from a tilted camera or distorted anatomy.

Capture the primary interpretation of the scene exactly as described, preserving its specified camera geometry and narrative.

COLOR GRADE
Apply a rich, naturalistic cinematic grade: deep steel-to-slate blues, luminous golden accents, grounded olive greens and warm stone neutrals where those colors occur. Preserve the scene's light sources and time of day, natural skin tones and recognizable garment colors. Keep firm contrast, deep readable blacks, detailed midtones, controlled bright highlights and crisp photographic texture. Use only subtle grain. Avoid washed blacks, artificial teal-orange separation, excessive HDR, plastic skin, heavy grain, broad bloom and diffusion haze.

IMAGE CONSTRAINTS
No writing, letters, numbers, signage, branding, logos, labels, watermarks or captions anywhere in the image. Keep relevant surfaces plain and unlettered. One separate photograph only; no border, montage, split screen or contact sheet.
