Prompt

Style: Realistic urban street photography with a cinematic touch, captured on a mobile phone.

Scene: A portrait of a young woman against the backdrop of modern skyscrapers.

Pose & Camera Angle: The woman is standing in the center of the frame. The camera is positioned at an extreme low angle, making the skyscrapers behind her appear enormous and converge dramatically toward the sky. The woman looks down at the camera with a slightly superior yet calm expression. Her head is slightly tilted to the right.

Clothing: She is wearing a dark gray or black oversized puffer jacket (or sporty jacket) with a light gray, almost silver inner lining and a zipper. Underneath, she wears a black hoodie with the hood pulled over her head.

Hair: Loose, wavy hair naturally frames her face, with strands falling out from underneath the hood.

Makeup: Natural yet defined makeup. A light matte base, subtle eyelid contouring with dark eyeshadow. Her lips are covered with matte lipstick in a muted dark pink or nude shade.

Atmosphere & Mood: The atmosphere is gloomy, urban, and slightly mysterious. The mood is thoughtful, serious, and confident, conveying the coolness of a modern metropolis.

Lighting: Natural, diffused daylight on an overcast day. The cloudy sky creates soft shadows across her face, emphasizing its structure beneath the hood.

Background: Two modern high-rise skyscrapers tower directly behind the woman. The one on the left has a dark facade with numerous square windows, while the one on the right is lighter, possibly featuring concrete or glass elements. A gray, cloudy sky is visible between them.

Technical Details: Sharp focus on the woman's face. Subtle grain characteristic of phone photography in low-light or overcast conditions. Muted colors dominated by black, gray, and cool tones. Vertical composition.

Do not change the facial features. Preserve the exact facial features and identity from the reference photo.

Aspect ratio 3:4. Realistic, high-quality, sharp 8K photo. Shot on iPhone 16 Pro.

Context cost: ≈507 tokens when used.
