Right now, blue hour cinematic portraits are trending on Instagram because they look emotional, premium, and very “movie-like.” The soft bokeh city lights, calm mood, and sharp eyes create a powerful scroll-stopping vibe.
You can create this Viral AI Image for free using Google Gemini. Just upload your reference face photo, use the prompt below, and always request 9:16 aspect ratio (Instagram Reel size) for perfect Reels framing.
The Viral Prompt (Copy-Paste for Google Gemini)
Use my uploaded reference image as the identity guide. Keep the SAME young woman’s face 100% identical (do not change facial features, face shape, skin tone, proportions, or identity). Photorealistic result.
Create a hyper-realistic, cinematic blue-hour portrait photo in 8K quality, realistic photography style. Scene: a pedestrian overpass in a big city during blue hour (evening), with distant city lights and traffic below.
Composition & focus: Vertical portrait in 9:16. The camera is close to her face (tight portrait). Her eyes are in perfect sharp focus, with extremely realistic skin texture (smooth but natural pores and detail). Her face is slightly brighter than the background with soft, natural lighting. Use shallow depth of field: background city lights and traffic are fully blurred into soft bokeh. The bridge railing in the foreground is slightly out of focus.
Pose & emotion: She is leaning on the bridge railing with her arms folded and resting on it. Her head is slightly tilted. She looks directly at the camera with a calm, thoughtful, slightly sad expression (subtle, not dramatic)
Wardrobe: Dark coat (black or navy) with a light-colored knit sweater underneath. Hair is short-to-medium length with bangs, natural and slightly messy. Minimal makeup, natural look.
Lighting: Natural blue-hour evening light, calm and realistic, soft shadows, no harsh flash. Gentle cinematic color grading with cool tones and warm bokeh lights.
Camera style: Professional portrait photography, realistic lens behavior, clean bokeh, high detail, cinematic mood. No distortion.
Negative rules: no cartoon, no anime, no text, no watermark, no logo, no extra fingers, no extra limbs, no face changes.
