Do not copy any other person’s face or identity. Recreate the uploaded person in a realistic cinematic cafe portrait with the same atmosphere, pose, outfit, lighting, and composition described below. A {subject} is sitting alone by a wooden table inside a {setting}, facing the camera with a calm, slightly serious natural expression. Full-body vertical composition, seated on a wooden chair, one arm resting naturally on the table, the other hand relaxed near the lap. Legs are casually crossed or angled forward in a relaxed sitting posture. Outfit: {outfit}. The clothing should look realistic, with natural fabric texture, soft knit details, believable folds, and no exaggerated fashion styling. Scene: cozy vintage cafe interior with wooden tables and chairs, warm dark background, soft coffee bar area in the distance, window on the left side with bamboo or woven blinds. Strong afternoon sunlight passes through the blinds, creating beautiful tree-shadow patterns and striped light on the wall, table, clothes, floor, and face. Warm golden natural light, deep soft shadows, quiet nostalgic mood. Camera style: realistic 35mm film photography, vertical 9:16 composition, natural indoor sunlight, slightly soft focus, gentle film grain, warm color grading, realistic skin texture, real hair detail, natural body proportions, authentic candid portrait feeling. Keep the uploaded person highly recognizable, but do not make the face look pasted, plastic, doll-like, or over-smoothed. No watermark, no logo, no text, no Chinese characters. Negative Prompt: watermark, logo, text, Chinese characters, anime, cartoon, CGI, plastic skin, doll-like face, over-smoothed skin, fake face, face swap look, distorted facial features, bad anatomy, extra fingers, broken hands, unnatural arms, stiff pose, unrealistic body proportions, glossy AI skin, harsh makeup, low quality, blurry face, overexposed face, messy background, duplicate person, brand logo, readable text. ``` ## Variables Replace each `{variable}` before you paste the prompt. | Variable | Label | Example | |---|---|---| | `{subject}` | subject | young person | | `{setting}` | setting | quiet warm cafe | | `{outfit}` | outfit | soft oversized white knitted sweater, white collared shirt underneath, dark striped school-style tie, loose straight blu | ## About A prompt for a realistic cinematic cafe portrait that maintains the identity of an uploaded person, featuring warm sunlight and film textures.
