About cinematic AI portrait prompts

Cinematic prompts borrow the language of filmmaking: low-key lighting, color grading, film grain, lens choice, and wide aspect ratios such as 16:9. Together these make a portrait look like a still from a movie rather than a posed photo.

The color grade has the biggest effect on mood. Teal and orange feels modern and dramatic, while warm amber feels softer and more nostalgic.
