Prompt 4: "Profile shot of me walking through a rushing metro station crowd. Everyone else is motion-blurred with trailing effects, while I remain in sharp focus with a serious expression, wearing a long trench coat. Cool blue tones dominate the scene, evoking a 35mm film aesthetic. Ambient lighting comes from train signs and station fixtures. Ratio: Portrait 4:3" Prompt 5: "Cinematic overhead shot of me standing hands in my pockets a brick city sidewalk, wearing a royal blue formal blazer. Motion blurred crowd rushes past around me. Moody lightning 35mm film look. Shallow depth of field, sharp focus on me. Ration portrait 4:3 no changing face" Prompt 6: "Create a high-end black and white portrait using my selfie. The face must remain exactly as in on my original selfie — no editing, no retouching, no smoothing. I’m wearing the business suits. Preserve every facial detail and texture for a raw, authentic look. The lighting should be dramatic and studio-quality, using strong contrast and shadows to sculpt the features. Use a clean, blurred studio-style background with soft gradients or subtle texture to enhance focus on the subject. Frame the portrait vertically (9:16 format), centered composition, with ultra-realistic skin texture and depth. No digital makeup or alterations. The final result should look timeless, editorial, and emotionally powerful — suitable for a gallery or fashion magazine." Prompt 7: "Create a moody black-and-white night portrait of a me (from my selfie) sitting inside a modern black car with the door open. She should have fair skin, medium-length wavy hair, and no glasses. Her expression is serious and intense. She wears a black puffer jacket and light gray sweatpants. The city skyline with glowing lights is visible in the blurred background. Soft lighting from inside the car highlights his face subtly. The overall vibe is cinematic, stylish, and introspective." No need for expensive photographers or fancy setups. It's absolutely wild. (Prompt 8 is in the top comment)
