The Viral Prompt (Google Gemini Prompt)
Use the uploaded reference photo only to keep the same identity and characteristics (same face, facial features, skin tone, age impression, body type, and hair). Do NOT copy the exact reference photo composition or scene. Create a new original image with the same person.
Create an ultra-realistic, high-quality 8k cinematic airport portrait of a woman around 36 years old. She has brunette hair with soft highlights, styled with waves and volume. Body: athletic, slim, defined. Makeup: natural glam (clean skin, soft contour, subtle glow, natural brows, light mascara, nude lips).
Scene: she is seated inside a modern airport terminal. Camera framing: mid-shot, realistic perspective. Angle: 45-degree side angle (three-quarter profile), candid travel-lifestyle look. She is holding a smartphone in one hand and an iced coffee in the other (clear cup with ice, realistic condensation, straw). Outfit: light-colored oversized sweatshirt hoodie, comfortable jogger pants, and clean white sneakers with realistic texture
Lighting: golden sunlight coming through large airport windows, softly illuminating her face and hair, creating warm highlights and gentle shadows. Background: airport runway visible through the glass, with planes and ground vehicles softly blurred, cinematic depth of field and bokeh. The environment should feel realistic and premium, but not an exact copy of the reference scene
Camera and style: ultra-photorealistic, realistic skin texture, natural pores, sharp focus on the face, cinematic lighting, professional color grading, subtle film grain. Shot as if on a full-frame DSLR/mirrorless camera, 50mm lens, f/1.8, high dynamic range. Create the image in 9:16 aspect ratio (vertical), Instagram Reel size, ultra-realistic, 8k.
