Prompt

Copy-ready prompt

A cinematic close-up portrait of a {argument name="subject" default="young East Asian woman"} with long slightly messy black hair falling across her face, porcelain skin, soft pink lips, and deep expressive eyes. She gazes directly into the camera with a {argument name="expression" default="calm, melancholic"} expression. Dramatic low-key lighting illuminates only parts of her face, creating strong contrast against a dark shadowy background. Subtle strands of hair move gently as if touched by a breeze, adding a natural and emotional feel. Moody atmosphere, minimalist composition, soft skin texture, delicate facial details, editorial beauty photography, subtle grain, muted colors, intimate and mysterious mood, ultra-realistic, high detail, captured like an artistic film still.
