This prompt is designed to generate highly realistic, human-centric cinematic portraits with an 'intentional imperfection' aesthetic.
To use it effectively:
1. Replace placeholders: Substitute {SUBJECT} with a detailed description of the person (e.g., "a woman in her late 30s with sun-kissed skin and thoughtful eyes"). Replace {SCENE} with a specific environment (e.g., "a cozy cafe bathed in warm morning light").
2. Emphasize Realism: The prompt is crafted to avoid common AI pitfalls like plastic skin or hyper-perfection. Focus on detailed, natural descriptions for your subject.
3. Adjust as needed: You can subtly modify lighting, mood, or specific imperfections if you have a particular vision, but maintain the core principle of 'human authenticity.'
4. Expected Output: A high-resolution, photographic-quality image that resembles a still from a high-end film or documentary, featuring a person with natural, believable characteristics and a distinct human feel.

Generate an ultra-realistic, cinematic portrait of {SUBJECT} in {SCENE}. The core focus is on profound human authenticity and intentional imperfection, eschewing artificial polish for a grounded, believable aesthetic.
Key Human Realism Details:
- Skin: Subtle, authentic skin texture with minor pores, fine lines, or small, realistic imperfections (e.g., a faint mole, a slight freckle cluster).
- Hair: Individual, natural hair strands, slight flyaways, and a believable flow.
- Facial Expression: Asymmetrical, natural, and emotionally resonant expression, avoiding overly posed or artificial smiles/gazes.
- Eyes: Soft, realistic reflections; deep, authentic gaze.
- Posture: Unposed, natural body language; authentic, slightly imperfect posture.
Cinematic Aesthetic & Photography Elements:
- Lighting: Natural cinematic lighting, gentle contrast, realistic environmental shadows, and soft light spill.
- Composition: Slightly imperfect yet compelling composition, suggestive of a candid moment or a deliberate still from an indie film, potentially utilizing the Rule of Thirds subtly.
- Optics: Shallow depth of field (bokeh), 50mm prime lens realism, and subtle film grain.
- Color Palette: Earthy, natural, and muted tones, enhancing the organic feel.
Overall Mood & Feel: Intimate, editorial, raw, and believable. The image should evoke the feeling of a high-quality still from an independent film, a luxury documentary campaign, or a candid capture by a seasoned photographer. The final output must look premium but profoundly human, distinctly not AI-polished or overly commercial.
Negative Prompts: Avoid plastic skin, excessive smoothing, over-beautification, artificial perfection, unnatural symmetry, glossy eyes, fake bokeh, overly stylized effects, cartoonish features, digital polish, AI sterility, hyper-realism that looks artificial, flawless skin, exaggerated features, unnatural colors, strong vignetting.
