Before & After:
Mafia Boss Portrait AI Prompt:
A detailed cinematic portrait of the reference face styled as a confident man in a sharp dark modern suit, wearing a gold watch and bracelet. He sits in a luxurious lounge, lighting a cigar with a old style lighter as smoke rises elegantly. On the table: a silver ice bucket with Jack Daniel’s, one whiskey glass, hookah, and scattered ice cubes. The atmosphere has rich wooden walls, velvet sofas, and smoky dark cinematic lighting, radiating the power and dominance of a mafia boss.
When I was generating the image, I got 3 glasses in the photo, and after that I prompted Gemini to remove the extra glasses, and the funny thing is, Gemini removed all the glasses. LOL! So I decided to add a glass description in the prompt.

Tips & Tricks:
- Always start with a clear, high-quality reference face for the best likeness.
- If you want more smoke detail, add keywords like “thick cigar smoke swirling in the air.”
- When I tested this prompt, moving the cigar flame closer to the face gave it a more dramatic, cinematic look.
- Try running the same prompt with minor word changes – small tweaks can shift the entire vibe.
