The prompt behind this image
Copy the exact prompt behind Cinematic Golden Hour Backlit Portrait, or open it in the studio and make it yours.
Create a cinematic golden-hour portrait of {argument name="subject" default="a young adult man"} seen from behind in a three-quarter back view, turning his head slightly upward toward the bright sun at the upper right. He has short dark wavy hair, a neatly trimmed beard, and wears thin round eyeglasses plus a {argument name="clothing" default="black ribbed turtleneck sweater"}. The composition is a tight vertical portrait from mid-back to head, with the face in right-facing side profile and the body mostly in shadow. Use extremely warm amber sunlight, intense backlighting, glowing rim light around the hair, ear, beard, shoulders, and sweater edge, with soft haze and lens flare washing across the right side of the frame. The background should be dark, blurred, and minimal, like shaded trees or an indistinct outdoor backdrop, creating strong contrast against the golden sun. Style it as an ultra-realistic cinematic photograph shot at golden hour with shallow depth of field, natural skin texture, soft atmospheric bloom, high dynamic range, warm color grading, dramatic mood, and no text or watermark.
