Cinematic Selfie Upgrade Prompt

Keeps your selfie's arm-length angle but adds golden light, depth and a city backdrop.

Prompt

Upgrade the uploaded selfie into a cinematic lifestyle shot. Keep the face, features and skin tone from the uploaded photo exactly as they are. Keep the natural arm's-length selfie angle and the person's expression, but relight them with soft golden-hour sun from one side, replace the background with a blurred [city street with warm lights], add gentle lens depth and polished cinematic colour while keeping real skin texture.

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