The prompt behind this image
Copy the exact prompt behind Golden Hour Close-Up Portrait, or open it in the studio and make it yours.
Create an ultra-realistic cinematic close-up portrait of a young woman with {argument name="hair color" default="dark chestnut brown"} windblown hair, {argument name="eye color" default="warm hazel amber"} eyes, and natural textured skin with visible pores, fine peach fuzz, faint freckles, rosy cheeks, and soft chapped glossy lips. Frame her face extremely close in vertical portrait orientation, cropped so the left side is partly in deep shadow and the right side shows her nose, lips, cheek, and one sharply focused eye; she is looking off-frame to the right with a quiet, pensive, slightly vulnerable expression. Thin loose hair strands cross over her face and one prominent strand curves down across the eye and cheek toward the mouth. She wears a thick {argument name="clothing" default="black wool scarf or high collar"} filling the lower portion of the frame. Use warm golden-hour sunlight from the right/front side, creating dramatic chiaroscuro, glowing highlights on the skin, catchlights in the eye, and soft dark falloff in the background. Make it look like high-end editorial photography shot on an 85mm lens, shallow depth of field, rich natural color grading, extremely detailed skin texture, realistic hair fibers, no makeup-heavy styling, no jewelry, no text, no watermark, no artificial smooth skin, no extra people.
