How to use

The cinematic portrait with a dramatic spotlight turns your photo into a neo-noir image, with light coming from above and a blurred urban background, and it works in NanoBanana, Gemini or ChatGPT. 1. Send the person's photo together with the prompt in the same message. 2. The AI applies the dark, realistic mood while preserving identity, facial features and expression. 3. Adjust "lighting" to control the direction of the spotlight, the contrast and the shadows on the face. 4. Use "environment" and "composition" to change the setting and the framing. 5. Change "wardrobe", "pose" and "camera" to vary the clothing, the posture and the simulated lens. 6. Raise "quality" and generate the final portrait. Tip: front-facing photos with a sharp face reinforce the spotlight effect and make the gaze more expressive.
