A single 4:5 vertical GRITTY CINEMATIC photograph: the person from the uploaded photograph on a rain-soaked neon city street at night.

REALISM (top priority): fully photographic and real — the person is the real individual from the upload — lock facial structure, features, eye shape/colour, hairline, skin tone, marks; faithful and recognisable. The face/body is ONE continuous photograph (no neck seam, no two-tone, face not sharper than the body), RE-LIT by the scene (neon tints, true complexion preserved, never lightened), head naturally proportioned. The street is a real, believable place — real rain, wet reflective asphalt, real depth. Wardrobe REAL and grounded (a real jacket), NOT costume.

REPLACE from the upload: any jewelry — minimal real.

Scene: a moody night street in steady rain; the person standing/walking, hair and jacket wet, rain streaks visible; teal/cyan neon rim on one side, warm practical light on the other; the city behind as soft warm-cool bokeh; reflections on the wet ground; atmospheric haze. Invented signage only.

Grade & camera: cinematic teal-orange grade, deep rich blacks, slight film grain; 35mm look, shallow depth-of-field, ISO-1600 night feel; the "film still" mood. Real skin texture (wet sheen), faithful complexion.

Output: a gritty cinematic film-still, no text, no border, no watermark. 4:5 (or 16:9).

About this look

Teal and cyan neon lights contrast beautifully with warm practical illumination, creating a dynamic color palette that draws attention to the subject while maintaining the authenticity of the setting. The rain adds texture, with droplets glistening against the skin and soaking the jacket, while the blurred cityscape in the background provides a sense of depth and intrigue. The shallow depth-of-field directs focus onto the individual, ensuring that every detail—from the wet sheen of the skin to the accurate portrayal of facial features—remains sharp and lifelike.

This imagery is perfect for showcasing personal moments in a dramatic, urban context. Ideal for social media profiles, artistic portfolios, or as a striking visual for a personal project, it resonates with anyone looking to express urban authenticity or a sense of solitude amidst city life. Whether for an artistic endeavor or a celebration of individuality, this piece captures the essence of night-time cityscapes beautifully.

How to use this prompt

Upload a clear portrait of the individual you want to feature, ensuring that the facial characteristics are discernible. The prompt expects a realistic representation, so pay attention to the person's wardrobe – it should be everyday attire, like a jacket, rather than costumes. Achieve a good result by ensuring the lighting in your photo aligns with the neon city street aesthetic; if the image appears too bright or washed out, adjust the exposure settings in your photo adjustments to maintain the gritty mood.

Tips to customize it

Experiment with different jacket colors to enhance the scene's emotional impact.
Choose a photo where the subject's hair can naturally reflect rain for added realism.
Incorporate a variety of neon colors in the background to create an engaging contrast.
Consider using an aspect ratio of 16:9 for a cinematic feel, especially when sharing on social media.
