Portrait Prompts Use one of these descriptions in an image workflow available to you. Select supported format controls separately: Prompt 1 (Suggested composition): "A black and white aesthetic mirror selfie of a girl, smartphone covering her face so only her hair and hand are visible, she is wearing a ring on her finger, moody lighting, vintage film grain, film scratches, high contrast, lofi aesthetic, sad and nostalgic vibe, 8k resolution, photorealistic." Prompt 2 (Slightly Different Angle): "Cinematic black and white photography, a young woman taking a selfie in a dark room, face hidden by the phone camera, long flowing hair, soft focus background, subtle film dust and light leaks, emotional and mysterious atmosphere, 9:16 aspect ratio."
Decide what the portrait should reveal
Both prompts use a phone to hide part of the face. Choose a close mirror selfie or a wider room view. Keep the phone and hand in a believable position. A dark background works well if enough contrast separates the hair from the wall.
Make space for your words
Use poetry you wrote or have permission to publish. Add it as a text layer after the portrait is ready instead of asking an image tool to draw long lines. Place two short lines in a quiet part of the frame and add a shaded backing if needed.
Keep texture subtle
Film grain should support the image, not obscure text. Check reflected fingers, phone edges and jewellery before exporting. A gentle zoom and a readable text hold usually communicate more clearly than rapid effects.
