Cinematic Night Street Portrait Prompt

A moody film-still portrait of you on a neon-lit city street at night with anamorphic bokeh.

Prompt

Create a cinematic portrait of the person in the uploaded photo standing on a wet city street at night. Keep the face, features and skin tone from the uploaded photo exactly as they are. Neon signs in teal and magenta reflect on the pavement, steam rises from a grate behind them. They wear [a dark wool coat] and look just past the camera. Shot on a 50mm anamorphic lens with oval bokeh, shallow depth of field, teal-orange colour grade, fine film grain, 2.39:1 movie-still feel.

Upload one photo. One clear, well-lit photo of yourself, face visible
