🎭 What Makes These Prompts Special?

These prompts focus on warm, golden-orange spotlighting that sculpts the face and creates a glowing circular halo on the wall — a classic editorial & cinematic look. Each prompt is tuned for realism, fashion styling, and strong directional shadow to the right for dramatic effect.

Prompt 1 — Golden Halo Moody Portrait

This is a photo of me. Craft a moody studio portrait of the uploaded person, bathed in golden-orange spotlight that creates a glowing circular halo behind them on the wall. The warm light should sculpt the face and upper body with soft, sunset-like tones, while casting a strong head shadow to the right. Style the person. Her eyes are closed and chin tilted slightly up.

Prompt 2 — Styled Ariana-Long Ponytail Version

With this reference image, craft a moody studio portrait of the uploaded person, bathed in golden-orange spotlight that creates a glowing circular halo behind them on the wall. The warm light should sculpt the face and upper body with sunset-like tones, while casting a strong head shadow to the right. Style the person with a long ponytail (Ariana Grande inspired), wearing a white off-shoulder fluffy sweater and a minimal chain necklace. Her eyes are closed and chin slightly up.

Prompt 3 — Cinematic Fashion Editorial (Midjourney style)

Cinematic, portrait photo of a sophisticated woman gazing into the distance, fashion icon, Gucci, Hermes, Prada, Arri Alexa, dutch angle shot, candid shot, realistic skin, natural features, matte colors.

🧠 Use These Prompts With

• 🎨 Midjourney (v6+ recommended for --ar 9:16 / cinematic ratios)
• 📷 DALL·E / DALL·E 3 (works well for studio lighting and halo effects)
• 🧠 Leonardo AI or Ideogram for photoreal soft-light rendering
• 🧰 When using image models to edit/generate from your photo, upload the reference image (if required) and use the model's photo-edit or img2img flow.

🔥 Tips to Enhance Results

• Use a high-resolution reference photo when editing/generating — clean, well-lit reference solves many artifacts.
• Add camera and lens keywords for realism: e.g. "Arri Alexa, 85mm, f/1.8, shallow depth of field".
• For stronger halo edges, add: "hard-edged circular spotlight / visible light falloff on the wall".
• To preserve identity and natural features, include: "realistic skin texture, minimal retouching, preserve facial features".
• If you are generating images of yourself: upload your photo to the model (if it supports user images) and follow platform rules for using personal images.

💬 Final Thoughts

These three prompts give you flexible starting points — from a simple golden-halo portrait to a fashion-editorial composition. Tweak hair, clothing, camera, and lens keywords to match your desired aesthetic. If you plan to publish the generated images, always follow the image model’s usage and copyright rules.
