Human-pet Split Face Portrait | HowToWritePrompt
A structured Image Generation prompt optimized for midjourney. Utilizes a 85mm optical perspective and Rembrandt 3-point studio lighting with 45° key light and soft fill bounce to produce crisp, high-detail results without artificial smoothing.
Master Prompt Template
Use the exact same face from the reference image and a photorealistic colour photo, vertical 9:20, extreme close up. Half of a human face and half of {argument name="pet type" default="my pet"}'s face pressed closely together, and sharing the same frame equally. Faces are very close to the camera, and intimate contact. Tight crop, one human eye + one {argument name="pet feature" default="cat eye"} centered, perfectly aligned and both in sharp focus with the same intimate framing. Frame tightly filled with face, background barely visible, Over-the-shoulder conversational cinematic framing, captured on Arri Alexa Mini LF with Cooke Anamorphic /i Prime 40mm lens, Moody chiaroscuro single-source side lighting with deep velvety shadows, authentic skin micro-textures, true-to-life surface physics, ultra-detailed editorial photography, Dutch tilt diagonal dynamic angle, captured on 70-200mm telephoto compressed lens, Rembrandt 3-point studio lighting with 45° key light and soft fill bounce, natural surface physics, 8K ultra-detailed editorial photography --ar 16:9 --v 6.1 --style raw

Prompt Architecture & Anatomy
### 📐 Structured Prompt Anatomy
- **Subject Definition**: Use the exact same face from the reference image and a photorealistic colour photo, vertical 9:20, extreme close up. Half of a human face and half of {argument name="pet type" default="my pet"}'s face pressed closely together, and sharing the same frame equally. Faces are very close to the camera, and intimate contact. Tight crop, one human eye + one {argument name="pet feature" default="cat eye"} centered, perfectly aligned and both in sharp focus with the same intimate framing. Frame tightly filled with face, background barely visible, Over-the-shoulder conversational cinematic framing, captured on Arri Alexa Mini LF with Cooke Anamorphic /i Prime 40mm lens, Moody chiaroscuro single-source side lighting with deep velvety shadows, authentic skin micro-textures, true-to-life surface physics, ultra-detailed editorial photography
- **Framing & Shot Type**: Wide environmental establishing shot (Dutch tilt diagonal dynamic angle)
- **Optics & Focal Intent**: 70-200mm telephoto compressed lens at f/1.4 ultra-shallow depth of field with creamy background separation
- **Lighting Atmosphere**: Rembrandt 3-point studio lighting with 45° key light and soft fill bounce
- **Color Grading**: Clean high-key commercial color grade with vibrant true-to-life 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.
