How to Use This Prompt
Copy the prompt as-is and adjust any elements like clothing, pose, or time of day if needed.

Ensure high-resolution output (8K if possible) and keep the cinematic color grading, natural lighting, and bokeh specifications intact to maintain the photorealistic quality.
Why This Prompt Works
This prompt is designed to create striking cinematic compositions that feel like professional photography. By specifying blue hour, shallow depth of field, and strong bokeh, it guides the AI to emphasize mood, lighting, and background blur. The overhead skyscraper angle and dangling-leg pose add drama and perspective, while 8K ultra-detailed rendering ensures clarity and realism. The combination of natural lighting and cinematic color grading makes each image visually compelling and lifelike.
Prompt Variations
- Change “backwards cap” to “hoodie or jacket” → get a different urban casual look while maintaining perspective.
- Change “blue hour” to “golden hour” → get warmer cinematic tones and softer shadows.
- Change “dangling legs” to “legs crossed or resting” → get a more relaxed or contemplative pose.
