Right now, Instagram is full of cinematic golden hour portraits shot inside cars. This style feels premium because it mixes soft sunlight, wind-blown hair, and a calm “quiet luxury” expression—like a real fashion editorial moment.
You can create this Viral AI Image for free using Google Gemini. Just upload your reference photo to keep the same face, and generate the final image in 9:16 aspect ratio (Instagram Reel size) for the perfect Reel format.
The Viral Prompt (Copy-Paste for Google Gemini)
Use the uploaded reference photo as the identity guide. Keep the SAME woman 100% identical to the reference (do not change identity, face, facial features, hair color, eye color, skin tone, or body proportions). Make it ultra-realistic.
Composition & framing: Create a professional photographic portrait shot inside a modern car. The woman is seated in the passenger seat with the door or window open. Use a medium/close-medium framing that captures her face, neck, collarbone, and part of the upper body. The composition should feel elegant, intimate, and fashion-editorial.
Subject & hair: Shoulder-length hair, slightly wavy, with natural wind movement. A few loose strands cross the face naturally. Hair texture looks soft with healthy shine (do not change hair style/color from reference).
Sunglasses & expression: Modern slightly oval sunglasses with a soft reflection of outside light. Expression is confident, serene, and contemplative. Her face is turned forward and slightly tilted upward.
Makeup details: Even skin with a soft glow, light contour, peach/rosy blush, natural well-defined eyebrows. Eyes with warm neutral brown shadow, subtle eyeliner, lengthened lashes. Lips in warm nude or rosy nude with a satin finish. Keep makeup realistic and not overdone.
Wardrobe: A top/blouse in black, nude, brown, or white with thin straps or a soft neckline. Add an open jacket in velvet, leather, or lightweight wool in brown, nude, or deep wine color. The outfit should look elegant, comfortable, and contemporary fashion.
Environment: Modern sophisticated car interior with dark or beige leather seats, clean dashboard and door details. Outside background shows a road or seaside area, softly blurred with bokeh due to shallow depth of field.
Lighting & style: Cinematic natural golden hour light coming from the side of her face, creating soft shadows and warm highlights. Shallow depth of field, artistic bokeh, editorial fashion photography look.
Quality rules: high quality, 8K resolution feel, ultra-realistic skin texture, realistic fabric/leather textures, sharp focus on the face, no blur on the face, no distortion, no extra fingers, no extra limbs, no text, no watermark, no logo, not cartoon, not anime.=
