Frozen Lake Winter Selfie | HowToWritePrompt
A structured Image Generation prompt optimized for midjourney. Utilizes a 24mm optical perspective and Warm candlelight ambient illumination at 2400K with gentle highlight rolloff to produce crisp, high-detail results without artificial smoothing.
Master Prompt Template
A young woman wearing a {argument name="clothing" default="black winter puffer jacket and a gray hoodie"} is taking a selfie on a frozen lake. Her hair must be exactly the same style as the original male reference — curly, dark brown, medium length, with the same texture and volume (not long). The face from the initially provided female reference photo must be preserved exactly without any distortion. Her face is partially hidden by the raised collar of her jacket, which she is holding with her left hand, and by dark sunglasses. On the left side of the frame, in the background, there is a {argument name="car model" default="black Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG (W219)"} parked on the snow. The car is naturally covered with snow and frost. No license plate. The car is positioned facing away from the camera, and tire tracks are visible on the ice. The background shows a wide snowy lake landscape stretching to the horizon. The sky is fully covered with {argument name="weather" default="dense gray clouds"}; it's starting to get dark (post-sunset twilight). Photorealistic, cold tones, and natural lighting, 85mm telephoto lens compression with creamy background bokeh, captured on Canon EOS R5 with RF 50mm f/1.2L USM lens, Soft overcast diffused daylight through a north-facing studio window, authentic skin micro-textures, true-to-life surface physics, ultra-detailed editorial photography, Over-the-shoulder conversational framing, captured on 24mm wide-angle perspective lens, Warm candlelight ambient illumination at 2400K with gentle highlight rolloff, natural surface physics, 8K ultra-detailed editorial photography --ar 16:9 --v 6.1 --style raw

Prompt Architecture & Anatomy
### 📐 Structured Prompt Anatomy
- **Subject Definition**: A young woman wearing a {argument name="clothing" default="black winter puffer jacket and a gray hoodie"} is taking a selfie on a frozen lake. Her hair must be exactly the same style as the original male reference — curly, dark brown, medium length, with the same texture and volume (not long). The face from the initially provided female reference photo must be preserved exactly without any distortion. Her face is partially hidden by the raised collar of her jacket, which she is holding with her left hand, and by dark sunglasses. On the left side of the frame, in the background, there is a {argument name="car model" default="black Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG (W219)"} parked on the snow.

The background shows a wide snowy lake landscape stretching to the horizon. The sky is fully covered with {argument name="weather" default="dense gray clouds"}; it's starting to get dark (post-sunset twilight). Photorealistic, cold tones, and natural lighting, 85mm telephoto lens compression with creamy background bokeh, captured on Canon EOS R5 with RF 50mm f/1.2L USM 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**: Three-quarter medium shot (Over-the-shoulder conversational framing)
- **Optics & Focal Intent**: 24mm wide-angle perspective lens at f/2.8 balanced subject sharpness with soft background bokeh
- **Lighting Atmosphere**: Warm candlelight ambient illumination at 2400K with gentle highlight rolloff
- **Color Grading**: Warm and cool cinematic contrast with natural skin tones
- **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.
