1970s Café Portrait prompt text

Copy & paste

A cinematic 1970s-inspired fashion portrait of a graceful young woman with [SKIN_TONE] skin and [HAIR_STYLE] hair, seated on worn stone steps outside a cozy street café. She holds an ornate [CUP_COLOR] ceramic coffee cup with delicate gold rim accents, gently resting it in her hands as she gazes softly toward the camera with calm confidence. Her expression feels serene, thoughtful, and timeless. Makeup reflects 1970s elegance: matte [LIP_COLOR] lips, subtle winged eyeliner, warm-toned blush, and softly defined brows. She wears a luxurious [SWEATER_COLOR] knitted sweater with a relaxed fit, paired with a flowing [SKIRT_COLOR] tulle skirt that moves lightly with the air. A warm plaid scarf in [SCARF_COLORS] is draped casually around her neck. Beside her rests a premium [BAG_COLOR] leather crossbody bag with gold filigree hardware and a delicate chain strap. The background features an autumn café street with scattered fallen leaves, glowing amber lights behind glass windows, and a soft urban stillness. Shot with an 85mm lens at f/1.8, shallow depth of field, warm analog film grain, muted earthy palette, dreamy cinematic mood, ultra-realistic fashion editorial photography inspired by classic 1970s film aesthetics.
