The prompt behind the perspective.

Adapt the subject, keep the camera. These reusable prompts are based on the examples; your results will vary.
REFERENCE INPUT
The attached character sheet is the identity and original clothing reference for the main subject. Depict that same person once, preserving their face, apparent age, hairstyle, proportions, clothing, footwear, and accessories wherever visible. The scene determines their pose and expression. Do not reproduce the sheet's three-person layout, white background, studio lighting, or color treatment. A hidden face stays hidden and a distant figure stays small.

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.

SCENE AND CAMERA
Inside an abandoned asylum hydrotherapy room at blue hour, place the camera just inside the doorway at 140 cm height, aimed obliquely at a tall tarnished wall mirror above a porcelain sink. Use a 50mm lens. The chipped sink rim cuts across the lower foreground; the mirror occupies the middle-right of the composition, while a dark tiled wall and the doorway edge fill the left.

The subject stands behind and to the left of the camera's axis, completely outside the direct frame, about 2 meters from the mirror. Show them only in the mirror's reflection: a three-quarter view from the waist up, face readable in a relatively clear central patch of glass. Their gaze is directed toward an empty enamel bath reflected deeper in the room, not at the lens. One hand rests on the back of a plain wooden chair. The mirror has small islands of missing silver at the edges, but none crosses the visible eye.

Keep the optical geometry coherent: the reflected person, chair, bath, and doorway belong to one physically consistent room. The camera is positioned outside the mirror's reflected field, with no camera reflection and no direct duplicate of the subject. One weak golden wall lamp above the sink supplies face light through its actual illumination of the room; cool fading window light shapes the bathtub and cracked tiles. Focus at the reflected subject's apparent distance, so surface tarnish and the near sink soften naturally. No independent reflection movement, extra figures, impossible mirror copies, blood, or readable labels. Still, watchful, and intimate, with the threat carried entirely by composition.

Photographic take 01: capture the primary interpretation exactly as described, preserving the specified camera geometry, action, and light sources.

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.
