How to Use This Prompt
Upload your reference photo to keep the subject’s identity accurate. Don’t change the black and white aesthetic or the long trench coat, since these elements lock in the noir, mysterious vibe. You can experiment with different bird types, lighting contrasts, or sky tones if you want to shift the mood — but always keep the low-angle perspective and long exposure blur for maximum cinematic effect.
Why This Prompt Works
This scene has everything: a dramatic angle, motion blur from pigeons, and a serious expression that commands attention. It feels like a still frame pulled from an old noir movie or an art-house thriller. The blurred wings add energy while the trench coat + grayscale aesthetic ground the shot in a timeless, mysterious mood. It’s powerful for anyone looking to make intense, story-driven portraits.
Prompt Variations
- Replace “pigeons” → “crows” for a darker, gothic atmosphere.
- Switch “overcast sky” → “city skyscrapers in fog” for an urban noir vibe.
- Change “long trench coat” → “wool overcoat” for a more classic, vintage look.
- Add “raindrops falling through the frame” for extra mood and tension.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can I keep it in color instead of black and white?Yes — but the dramatic, mysterious feel comes from black and white. If you want color, aim for muted tones or desaturated grading to maintain the vibe
-
Do I need to upload a reference photo for accuracy?Not strictly — the AI can generate a random subject. But if you want it to look like you (or someone specific), uploading a reference image makes it way more realistic.
