How to Use This Prompt

The prompt will create a vertical (9:16) portrait. Adjust keywords like 'calm' or 'intense' to change the subject's expression.

Why This Prompt Works

This prompt works because it uses specific, cinematic photography terms like 'shallow depth of field', 'cinematic color grading', and 'soft film grain' that AI models recognize to create a realistic photo style. Listing concrete details—'black leather jacket', 'neon lights in red, blue, and yellow', 'metal-framed eyeglasses'—gives the AI clear visual anchors to build from, resulting in a coherent and atmospheric image.

Prompt Variations

• Change the setting to a rainy bus window for a different urban feel.
• Swap 'neon city lights' for 'soft morning light' to create a completely different mood.
• Replace 'calm, thoughtful' expression with 'smiling warmly' or 'serious and focused'.
• Change 'black leather jacket' to a 'hoodie' or 'trench coat' for a different style.
• Use 'wide angle shot' instead of 'close-up' to show more of the subway carriage.
