Pro tip: A structured prompt for generating a close-up, cinematic portrait of a young woman with platinum blonde hair and heavy dark eye makeup. The image should evoke a moody, melancholic atmosphere, shot on 35mm film in a dimly lit, cozy cafe, with a shallow depth of field and the subject looking intensely over a coffee cup.
