Master Prompt Template
A cinematic urban street-style portrait using the uploaded image as the only identity reference, preserving the face 100% with no changes to facial features, proportions, skin texture, or expression. A young woman sits casually on a zebra crossing at night, relaxed posture, confident presence. Outfit: black fitted short-sleeve crop top with a small white {argument name="brand logo" default="Nike"} chest logo, high-waisted wide-leg blue-grey denim jeans with light rips, chunky white Nike Air Force sneakers, and a small glossy white {argument name="bag brand" default="GUCCI"} shoulder bag.

### 📐 Structured Prompt Anatomy
- **Subject Definition**: A cinematic urban street-style portrait using the uploaded image as the only identity reference, preserving the face 100% with no changes to facial features, proportions, skin texture, or expression. A young woman sits casually on a zebra crossing at night, relaxed posture, confident presence. Outfit: black fitted short-sleeve crop top with a small white {argument name="brand logo" default="Nike"} chest logo, high-waisted wide-leg blue-grey denim jeans with light rips, chunky white Nike Air Force sneakers, and a small glossy white {argument name="bag brand" default="GUCCI"} shoulder bag.

Camera: slightly elevated angle, street-level perspective, shallow depth of field, photorealistic cinematic lighting, clean composition, no beautification, no face alteration, Medium three-quarter profile shot with natural posture, captured on Arri Alexa Mini LF with Cooke Anamorphic /i Prime 40mm lens, Soft overcast diffused daylight through a north-facing studio window, authentic skin micro-textures, true-to-life surface physics, ultra-detailed editorial photography
- **Framing & Shot Type**: Tight headshot portrait (Straight-on symmetrical frontal angle)
- **Optics & Focal Intent**: 50mm natural focal length lens at f/1.8 shallow depth of field with soft optical falloff
- **Lighting Atmosphere**: Subtle high-key studio softbox with delicate catchlights in eyes
- **Color Grading**: Golden-hour amber and cyan complementary color harmony
- **Model Constraints**: Preserves natural skin texture; avoids oversaturated smoothing.
💡 **How To Customize**: Replace `{SUBJECT}` with your exact character or scene, or switch the Aspect Ratio to `9:16` for mobile reels and wallpaper formats.
