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
Create a close detail insert at a worn wooden station bench. Use a 100mm macro lens at close focusing distance, looking downward at roughly 35 degrees toward the subject's hands. One hand rests flat on the bench while the other places two torn halves of a plain paper ticket side by side. Their torn edges nearly match but leave one small missing triangular gap. Both ticket halves are completely blank and unprinted. Include a narrow strip of a sleeve or any worn jewelry only if present in the chosen outfit or identity reference and naturally within the crop; otherwise show the corresponding bare wrist or forearm. The face and body remain entirely outside the frame. Position the paper pieces and fingertips near the same focus plane so their fibers and skin texture are sharp, while the wrist, near bench edge, and distant background soften progressively. Low afternoon sunlight grazes the torn paper and scratched wood, with gentle cool fill from open sky. Ordinary-sized hands and ticket, realistic nail and finger anatomy, restrained tactile detail. No extra fingers, floating paper, or miniature person added to show identity.

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.
