What it does
This prompt instructs an image model to generate a hyperrealistic, vertical, film-photography-style portrait of a young person seated at a cozy bread café table, with specific wardrobe, props, composition, lighting, and FujiFilm Pro 400H-inspired color/grain characteristics. The key requirement is to preserve the subject’s facial identity exactly as provided by a reference image while applying a nostalgic Y2K café mood, shallow depth of field, and vintage lens bloom. The expected outcome is a cinematic, dreamy café portrait that looks like an authentic analog film photo, with the subject in focus and the warm café environment softly blurred behind them.

| Index | Required | Description | Allowed CLI flags |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Yes | your photo | --image-input-url <url> or --image-input-path <path> |
Models and options
This skill's modality is: image.
To discover which model values you can use (and which options keys/values are valid for each model), run:
betterprompt resources --models-only --json
Then filter the returned JSON array to entries where modality is "image".
How to run
Step 1: Collect inputs
First, run betterprompt resources --models-only --json and filter to modality: "image" to discover valid models and available options:
betterprompt resources --models-only --json
Use only the models and option values that appear in the filtered results.
Then collect all inputs from the human:
- Required text inputs:
propsgenderoutfitlightinghairstylelens_typecamera_filmenvironmentimage_reference
- Required images:
- Exactly 1 images: image 1 (your photo). Images must be provided in this order.
- Optional: model and options.
- Present the human with the default model
gemini-2.5-flash-image-previewand its available options. Look upgemini-2.5-flash-image-previewin thebetterprompt resourcesoutput (filtered to modality"image") and show itsavailableOptionsas:key: val1, val2 (default), val3 | key2: .... Mark a value(default)if it matches these defaults:{}. - If the human does not specify, defaults are used: model
gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview, options{}. Other models from the resources call are also available.
- Present the human with the default model
If any required text input or the required images are missing, ask the human for what's missing. Do not assume or fabricate values. Tell the human: "Please provide images in this order: image 1 (your photo)".
Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI
Use the frontmatter's name as the positional argument (for this skill, use fuji-dream-retro-cafe-portrait).
Command form:
betterprompt generate fuji-dream-retro-cafe-portrait \
[--input <key>=<value>] \
[--image-input-url <url>] \
[--image-input-path <path>] \
[--model <model>] \
[--options <options JSON>] \
[--json]
Notes:
- Pass each text input as a separate
--input <key>=<value>flag. - Pass each image using
--image-input-urlor--image-input-path, in the order matching the imageInputs descriptions (image 1 first, then image 2, etc.). - If the human does not mention a model, omit
--modeland BetterPrompt will use the default model:gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview. - If the human does not mention options, omit
--optionsand BetterPrompt will use the default options:{}. - If the run times out, the response will include a
runIdyou can use to fetch the result later.
