The Viral Prompt (Google Gemini Prompt)

Sunset Beach Hotel Balcony Portrait
Google Gemini

Use the uploaded reference photo as the identity source. Keep the face 100% unchanged and unaltered (same facial features, skin tone, expression, proportions, and natural details). Do not beautify, do not modify facial structure, and do not change identity.
Create an ultra-photorealistic, high-quality 8k cinematic portrait of me standing on a seaside hotel balcony at sunset. Composition: elegant mid-shot to three-quarter shot. Pose: I am standing sideways, looking toward the camera; one hand is holding a glass of white wine, while the other hand rests gently on the balcony railing. My expression is serene and confident, eyes looking into the camera, lips slightly curved in a subtle contained smile.
Environment: the ocean stretches in front with soft waves touching golden sand. In the background, dramatic cliffs shape the horizon under warm sunset light. Atmosphere: cinematic and immersive, with golden and orange tones reflecting on my skin, creating soft shadows and rich textures. Background should be softly blurred with realistic depth of field and beautiful bokeh.
Outfit: I am wearing a sleeveless handmade crochet party crop top made from Egyptian cotton, with delicate weave and rich texture, structured yet slightly breathable with subtle transparency. Pants: high-waisted premium linen with a silky touch in pure white, medium-weight fabric, refined tailoring, front pleats for movement, wide straight-leg fit, clean finishing and invisible closure. The outfit should feel light, sophisticated, fresh, and luxury.
Accessories: medium polished metal earrings with an organic design, a thin white-gold bracelet on the right wrist, and a delicate necklace with a minimal pendant resting on the collarbone. The white wine glass reflects the sunset light with subtle sparkles.
Hair and makeup: hair tied in a low bun with natural texture, slightly messy from the sea breeze; a few loose strands framing the face naturally. Makeup is sophisticated and minimal: satin luminous skin, terracotta blush softly applied, subtle highlighter on temples and cupid’s bow, warm eyeshadow softly blended, thin eyeliner, defined lashes without exaggeration, brows brushed upward with a natural finish.
Lighting and camera: natural sunset lighting, cinematic look, high dynamic range, realistic skin texture, sharp focus on the face. Shot as if with a Canon EOS R5 full-frame DSLR using an 85mm f/1.8 lens, ultra-sharp details, realistic depth of field, film-like color grading, subtle grain like a 35mm movie still. Create the image in 9:16 aspect ratio (vertical), ultra-realistic, cinematic, 8k.
