How to use this prompt
Upload your reference photo to keep the subject’s identity accurate. Don’t change the black and white aesthetic or the long trench coat, since these elements lock in the noir, mysterious vibe. You can experiment with different bird types, lighting contrasts, or sky tones if you want to shift the mood — but always keep the low-angle perspective and long exposure blur for maximum cinematic effect.

FAQ
Can I keep it in color instead of black and white?
Yes — but the dramatic, mysterious feel comes from black and white. If you want color, aim for muted tones or desaturated grading to maintain the vibe
Do I need to upload a reference photo for accuracy?
Not strictly — the AI can generate a random subject. But if you want it to look like you (or someone specific), uploading a reference image makes it way more realistic.
