The prompt behind this image
Copy the exact prompt behind Cinematic Subway Portrait, or open it in the studio and make it yours.
Create a photorealistic cinematic portrait of {argument name="subject" default="a young East Asian woman"} sitting alone on a New York City subway train at night, framed from mid-thigh up in a vertical 4:5 composition. She has long tousled dark brown hair, natural makeup, a thoughtful slightly melancholic expression, and is looking to her right out the window rather than at the camera. She wears {argument name="outfit" default="a dark charcoal cropped ribbed tank top and loose black pants"}, with a black jacket pooled around her lap, a delicate necklace, a thin bracelet, and simple rings. She sits relaxed but introspective on glossy plastic subway bench seats: one tan/orange seat section on the left and one red seat section on the right. Behind her is a large subway window with the station platform blurred by motion, creating streaky reflections and soft ghosted shapes; metal window frames, stainless steel panels, and a posted transit notice are visible on the left wall. Use moody greenish fluorescent subway lighting, muted teal and amber color grading, shallow depth of field, realistic skin texture, subtle film grain, soft contrast, and the feeling of a candid 35mm street-photography still. Keep the image grounded and natural, with no text overlays, no watermark, no extra people in focus, and no exaggerated fashion poses.

| The result drifts from the preview | Too many fields changed at once. | Reuse Cinematic Subway Portrait as-is first, then change one group — subject, light, or setting. |
| The model over-stylizes the scene | The prose prompt leaves finish and camera underspecified. | Add one camera or lighting sentence and stay on GPT Image 2. |
