The Viral Prompt (Google Gemini)
Create an ultra-realistic, high-end cinematic personal portrait using the uploaded reference photo.
Preserve the subject’s exact facial structure, age, gender, skin tone, hair texture, eye shape, and natural expression without any distortion.
The subject is a woman with loose, slightly uneven dark brown hair. Strong warm backlighting with a yellow-orange tone illuminates the hair from behind, creating a glowing golden halo against a completely black background. The face is turned toward the camera, partially covered in soft shadows, with a subtle natural expression and slightly open lips.
A cool pink-purple light softly illuminates the face and upper chest, creating a dramatic warm-cold color contrast. The background remains fully dark to isolate the subject and enhance hair reflections.
Photorealistic skin, hair, and fabric textures. Cinematic lighting, dramatic mood, ethereal atmosphere. Shot on a prime portrait lens (50mm–85mm full frame), wide aperture f/1.4–f/2.8 with soft depth of field.
High quality, 8K resolution, ultra-sharp focus, realistic color grading, professional studio photography style.
Negative prompt: No facial distortion, no age or gender change, no makeup enhancement, no clothing changes, no extra or missing fingers, no blur, no noise, no watermark, no text, no artifacts.
