Cinematic Close-Up Portrait with Lens Flares

A prompt for generating a soft, cinematic close-up portrait based on an uploaded image. It specifies tight framing, upward gaze, directional soft lighting, and the addition of subtle rainbow lens flares and light streaks for a dreamy, artistic effect, maintaining detailed skin texture.

Prompt

Create a soft, cinematic close-up portrait of a person using the face from the uploaded image. The framing is tight on the face (head and shoulders), with the person looking slightly upward and toward the light with a calm, natural expression. The lighting is soft and directional, casting gentle shadows across one side of the face. Add subtle rainbow-like lens flares and light streaks passing across the face, creating a dreamy and artistic effect. The background is minimal, smooth, and out of focus. The overall color tone is warm with slight teal highlights, giving a cinematic color grade. Skin texture should be natural and detailed. Soft focus, shallow depth of field, cinematic lighting, light leaks, atmospheric glow, ultra realistic yet artistic photography.
