Before & After
It’s less of a photo and more like a movie still, full of narrative tension and visual impact.
Cinematic Portrait on Stormy Rooftop AI Prompt
A hyper-realistic cinematic full-body portrait of the reference face, standing on the edge of a crumbling skyscraper rooftop during a violent storm. He wears a black round-neck t-shirt, slightly damp from the rain, paired with rugged dark pants and sturdy boots. His coat or jacket flutters dramatically in the wind. Lightning streaks across the dark, stormy sky behind him, illuminating broken antennas and jagged edges of the skyscraper. Rain glistens on his clothing and hair, highlighting textures and movement.
His stance is strong and alert, shoulders squared, head slightly turned toward the camera, eyes focused and determined. The ruined city below stretches out like a battlefield, with shattered buildings, twisted metal, and flickering fires in the distance. Volumetric light from the lightning and soft ambient reflections create dramatic shadows that sculpt his face and upper body, emphasizing heroism, tension, and cinematic scale. The scene captures motion, atmosphere, and a sense of epic narrative, like a movie still.

Tips & Tricks

- When I tested this prompt, slightly increasing the rain intensity and emphasizing reflections on the clothing made the portrait feel more dynamic and cinematic, almost like a superhero movie still.
