Cinematic Street Photography with Face Reference Prompt

This Gemini photo editing prompt turns one clear photo of you into a cinematic street photography with face reference. It spells out the man in a hoodie, a city street, golden-hour light and warm sunset light and 85mm portrait lens and Kodak film tones, which is why the result looks like a real photograph rather than a generic AI image. Identity-preservation wording is built in, so the edit changes the scene — not your face.

Cinematic Street Photography with Face Reference prompt text

Copy & paste

Use my uploaded face as the primary facial identity reference. Preserve the exact facial structure, jawline, skin texture, hairstyle, beard/stubble details, eye shape, eyebrow shape, nose structure, lips, and overall recognizable appearance with very high identity fidelity. Maintain realistic {argument name="ethnicity" default="masculine South Asian"} features and natural skin tones. Create an ultra-realistic cinematic street photography scene during golden hour sunset on a quiet {argument name="location" default="European-style city street"}. The subject is crouching beside an old black weathered lamp post, slightly leaning from behind it in a playful detective-like pose while looking directly into the camera with a confident calm expression. He is wearing a {argument name="outfit" default="premium oversized black hoodie, slim black joggers, white sneakers, and sleek black rectangular sunglasses"} slightly lowered on the nose for an intense stylish look. Add a subtle black crossbody strap across the hoodie. Beside him are two stylish pets: • a fluffy small white dog wearing tiny black sunglasses and a black outfit, looking happily toward the camera with tongue slightly out • a gray striped cat sitting behind calmly, also wearing miniature black sunglasses with a cool composed attitude Lighting should be dramatic warm sunset backlighting with strong golden rim light around the hair and shoulders. Add cinematic orange glow, soft atmospheric haze, volumetric lighting, and warm reflections on the wet pavement. Include realistic bokeh street lamps and blurred urban architecture in the background. Scene should feel luxurious, trendy, playful, and cinematic. Composition: vertical portrait framing, subject positioned slightly left of center near the lamp post, pets in foreground depth layer, shallow depth of field, highly detailed textures, realistic shadows, natural reflections, soft highlights, DSLR quality, 85mm lens look, f/1.8 aperture, HDR, ultra-detailed realism, premium fashion editorial style, photorealistic, 8K quality.
