The prompt behind this image
Copy the exact prompt behind Cinematic Subway Editorial Portrait, or open it in the studio and make it yours.
Using the attached photo as the identity reference, create a photorealistic, cinematic editorial portrait of this exact same person standing on a modern underground subway platform at night, in the style of a high-end street fashion photograph. Keep the exact same face, facial structure, skin tone, eye color, eyebrows, nose, lips, hairstyle, hair color, facial hair, glasses if present, age and body build as in the attached photo, so the person is instantly recognizable. Only the clothing, setting and photographic style change. Wardrobe adapts to the person: if male, a long black wool overcoat over a black turtleneck or crew-neck sweater, dark tailored trousers, clean minimal look. If female, a long black wool overcoat over a black fitted turtleneck, dark straight trousers, minimal jewelry, hair styled naturally. All clothing is opaque, closed and fully covering, with real wool texture, soft creases and a slightly turned-up collar. Pose and expression: standing near the platform edge, body turned about 30 degrees away from the camera, head turned back toward the lens, one hand relaxed in the coat pocket, the other hanging naturally. Calm, confident, slightly serious expression, direct eye contact with the camera, lips relaxed, chin slightly lowered. Three-quarter body framing from mid-thigh up, the person positioned on the right third of the frame. Setting: a clean modern subway station with a long concrete platform, dark grey tiled floor with a yellow tactile safety strip along the edge, dark walls, cool white ceiling strip lights receding into the distance on the left. Behind the person a subway train is passing at speed, rendered as a long-exposure motion blur: horizontal streaks of silver-grey metal and warm-lit windows, with a bright electric-blue LED light strip along the train body smearing into a glowing horizontal line. Wet reflections on the platform floor pick up the blue and warm light. Camera and light: shot on a full-frame camera with a 35mm lens at f/2.8, slow shutter around 1/8 second so the train is blurred while the person remains perfectly sharp and still, eye-level camera, slight low angle. Lighting is low-key: cool white overhead station light as key from above, blue rim light from the train streak on one side of the face and coat, warm amber fill from platform lamps on the other side. Deep soft shadows, natural skin texture with pores, crisp catchlights in the eyes. Style: cinematic night editorial, high contrast with rich blacks, subtle film grain, palette of 60% deep charcoal and black, 30% cool steel-blue and electric-blue light, 10% warm amber accents. Looks like a real photograph from a fashion campaign shot on location in a metro station.
