Portrait prompts that read like a photographer's brief: lens, light direction, colour grade and mood. Use them on your own photo to keep your face and change everything around it — a moody rain-streaked window, a high-contrast black-and-white studio frame, warm backlight at sunset or a film-still look with anamorphic flare.

Keep face of person 100% accurate from the reference image), standing in a wide field of blooming pink and magenta cosmos flowers under a bright blue sky with a few scattered clouds. The person is facing the camera in a three-quarter pose, wearing a thick beige knit wool sweater with bold black horizontal stripes and loose beige cotton pants, hands tucked into pockets, calm and confident expression. Soft pink flower petals and golden dust-like particles are gently floating and swirling in the air around him, suggesting a light breeze. The background shows soft green hills and a vivid sky with natural daylight coming from the upper right, casting smooth highlights and soft shadows on his face and clothes. Captured with a Sony A7R IV full-frame camera using a 35mm lens, f/4 aperture for medium depth of field, 1/500 shutter speed to freeze floating petals and flower movement, ISO 100. Foreground flowers are slightly blurred, midground (the person) is in sharp focus, and the background hills are softly defined, creating a natural depth effect. Color tone is realistic with slightly enhanced magenta and green hues. Lighting is cinematic and airy, emphasizing the warm texture of the wool sweater, soft cotton pants, and delicate translucent petals. Petals in motion add a dreamy, romantic atmosphere. The final style is hyperrealistic, with high dynamic range, crisp details, clean contrast, gentle bokeh, and soft natural vignetting — evoking a calm, poetic, lifestyle mood with a touch of magic realism.

- Model: Nano Banana 2; inputs: 1 photo (One clear, front-facing photo of yourself); aspect 1:1

```text
A hyperrealistic cinematic wide street shot. The subject stands right beside a colorful anime mural wall on the sidewalk, not on the road, recreated with exact, sharp facial details from the uploaded photo — facing directly toward the camera. The subject is wearing a chic pastel blazer over a white silk blouse, high-waisted tailored trousers, and sleek white leather sneakers. She is positioned full-body and captured at a medium distance, so the mural wall is clearly visible behind her. A dramatic diagonal shaft of sunlight illuminates part of the mural and the subject, surrounded by deep contrasting shadows. The mural stays vibrant and detailed, but all text is removed. The atmosphere is cinematic, with a strong interplay of light and shadow, emphasizing realism and depth. Camera: Wide shot, 35mm lens, medium distance, full-body framing, vivid mural color balance, cinematic diagonal sunlight.
