Portrait · AI prompt collection
Portrait prompts live and die on cinematography: framing (close-up vs medium), lighting (side vs flat), era (cyber, retro, minimal). The more specific, the better.

Tips for writing great prompts
- Lead with the subject, then add style keywords ("watercolor", "cinematic", "hyperrealistic")
- Add camera, light, and material cues ("side light", "35mm film", "concrete texture") for sharper results
- Use the negative prompt for what you don't want — it works better than describing in text
