  • Subject Definition: Surreal cinematic photorealistic portrait of a young woman using the attached reference face with 100% facial accuracy, keeping all facial features unchanged, gently lowering her head with a calm mysterious expression while {argument name="action" default="drinking molten lava from a massive volcanic crater"} through a {argument name="straw" default="thin glowing straw"}, set in a {argument name="landscape" default="dramatic volcanic landscape"} with glowing lava rivers, black volcanic rocks, thick smoke, and giant atmospheric clouds, centered volcano crater with eye-level cinematic composition, strong focus on face, hands, and lava details, muted dark cinematic tones with glowing orange-red highlights, high contrast surreal mood, soft cinematic lighting with dramatic shadows, realistic lava glow reflecting on skin, volumetric smoke and haze, ultra photorealistic skin and fabric textures, fine-art surreal editorial photography style, quality, vertical composition, 9:16 aspect ratio, Cinematic 35mm wide-angle environmental establishing shot, captured on Sony A7R V paired with FE 85mm f/1.4 GM lens, Vibrant cinematic dual-tone lighting (neon cyan key + magenta rim edge), authentic skin micro-textures, true-to-life surface physics, ultra-detailed editorial photography

  • Framing & Shot Type: Low-angle hero perspective (Straight-on symmetrical frontal angle)

  • Optics & Focal Intent: 105mm macro detail lens at f/2.8 balanced subject sharpness with soft background bokeh

  • Lighting Atmosphere: Moody chiaroscuro single-source key light with deep velvety shadows

  • Color Grading: Subtle film stock aesthetic with lifted blacks and soft highlight rolloff

  • 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.
