How to use this prompt

Use AI with uploaded faces, keeping "portrait of me," "standing in the middle of a city street," "fitted ribbed gray sweater," and "shallow depth of field" for cinematic vibe. Do not alter the golden hour, posture, or bokeh. Optionally vary accessories; for example, changing necklace to "gold chain" could produce luxurious visuals, leading to moody outcomes, whereas "scarf" might add seasonal elements with calm, alert results.
