Prompt Used

Extremely intimate and dramatic close-up portrait of a woman captured indoors near a window with horizontal Venetian blinds during golden hour, embracing a chiaroscuro interplay of light and shadow. She is posed sideways, body slightly turned away but head glancing over her shoulder, locking eyes with the camera in an intense, seductive gaze, lips softly parted. The blinds cast dramatic horizontal stripes of sunlight and shadow across her face, hair, and shoulders, sculpting the contours with cinematic precision. Her skin glows with a golden tan, the warmth of the light accentuating natural texture and a healthy sheen. A yellow strap on her left shoulder hints at a sundress, top, or swimsuit, while the rest of the garment fades into shadow. Her long, voluminous, medium-to-dark brown hair falls in tousled waves, catching light in golden strands. Makeup is natural yet enhancing—defined brows, mascara-bright eyes in honey or light brown, and coral-pink or terracotta lips with a satin gleam. The background features white or beige blinds with bright sunlight filtering through, overexposing the outside world. Lighting is purely natural, warm, and direct, entering through the blinds to produce high-contrast bands of illumination and shadow across her figure. Shot on an 85mm f/1.4 or 100mm f/2 lens on a full-frame camera, aperture f/1.8–f/2.8 for shallow depth of field focusing on the eyes and lips, ISO 100 for daylight, shutter 1/250–1/500s to preserve highlights, white balance tuned to amplify the golden hue. Use the user’s reference image to replicate facial structure, features, tan skin tone, long wavy brown hair, and slender body with medium bust accurately. Recreate the pose, gaze, expression, yellow shoulder strap, and golden hour lighting with dramatic striped shadows through blinds, perfectly merging the user’s likeness with the described cinematic, intimate atmosphere.

Aurora of Solitude

Gemini Flash(Nano Banana)

A 2160x3840 pixel (4K) Ultra-Realistic Digital Photo Masterpiece Triptych. The image is a vertical canvas divided into three equal horizontal panels. The main subject, whose face must be 100% identical to the reference photo, is a young woman with long, flowing hair and a flat, nostalgic expression, possessing deep, intelligent eyes. Her outfit is a loose winter black puffer set with wide-cut trousers and a black scarf. The overall mood is melancholy and solitude, set in a snow-covered white landscape with a muted color palette. Panel 1 (Portrait Shot): A medium portrait of the character holding a transparent umbrella, silently looking back while gazing directly into the warm glow of a fire. The background is heavily blurred (bokeh), featuring pine trees, a strong aurora borealis, and deep white snow. Panel 2 (Full Body Shot): A full-body shot captured from a high, looking-down camera angle. The character stands alone in a vast, open snowfield with scattered pine trees and a few bare, leafless trees. She holds the umbrella, walking while gazing up at the aurora-filled sky, with one hand raised as if catching falling snowflakes in the distance. The scene conveys smallness and isolation against the vastness of nature. Panel 3 (Close Up Shot): A tight close-up of the character's face, featuring a flat, distant gaze that evokes feelings of loneliness and longing. The background includes pine trees, the soft aurora glow, and visible snowfall. Technical Specifications: Captured with a Hasselblad X2D 100C camera and a Fujifilm GF 45mm f/2.8 R WR lens (to maintain quality across all perspectives). Soft, dim night lighting is used, with warm contrast from the fire in Panel 1. Focus on the textured puffer material, the soft snow, and the luminous quality of the aurora. Cinematic coloring with a strong emphasis on cold tones and melancholy atmosphere. Facial Constraint: Crucial: Use the attached photo as the subject reference. Maintain 100% identical facial features: do not alter the appearance of the eyes, hair, nose, lips, front bangs, and face shape from the source photo. The identity must be perfectly preserved across all three panels.

I am sitting indoors, captured in a cinematic close-up portrait. My upper body is slightly turned at an angle to the camera, while my head is rotated to the right, as I gaze past the frame with a thoughtful, almost surprised expression. My posture is upright yet relaxed, with my shoulders angled away from the lens. My arms and hands are not visible in the frame, keeping the focus entirely on my face and upper torso.I am wearing a light beige knitted sweater with a round neckline. The fabric is textured and soft, with visible stitching that catches the light, giving the outfit a casual but refined look. The sweater has a loose, comfortable fit without any additional accessories. I also wear thin, round metal-framed eyeglasses that add a subtle intellectual and stylish touch, reflecting a hint of the warm light source. The camera captures me at eye level, framed in a tight portrait crop that includes my shoulders and chest. The focal length resembles a classic 85mm portrait lens, giving natural compression and cinematic proportions. The lighting is dramatic and directional, with warm golden-hour sunlight falling across the left side of my face and sweater, creating strong highlights. The right side of my face falls into deeper shadow, enhancing contrast and sculpting my features. The background is softly blurred and dark, with no distinct details, emphasizing the subject and adding depth to the scene. The overall mood is cinematic, atmospheric, and intimate, combining warm golden tones with high contrast between light and shadow, perfectly capturing a quiet, reflective moment.

I am standing close to a plain wall, with my body slightly turned at an angle. One of my arms hangs relaxed, with my hand tucked casually into my pocket, while the other arm rests naturally by my side.

The sunlight casts dramatic shadows, including the sharp outline of a window frame across the wall, along with the deep silhouette of my profile.I am wearing a loose, oversized dark T-shirt made of soft cotton, with a wide crew neckline.
