# Ultra Realistic Cinematic Portrait

> This prompt directs the AI to generate an ultra-realistic, cinematic portrait based on the uploaded person, depicting them at night in an urban environment with windswept messy hair and a distressed black leather jacket. It specifies dynamic lighting from bright white train light streaks passing behind the subject, selectively illuminating the face and jacket while keeping the background in motion blur. The result is a dramatic, high-tension scene with strong contrast, realistic textures, and a film-like atmosphere.

## What it does

This prompt directs the AI to generate an ultra-realistic, cinematic portrait based on the uploaded person, depicting them at night in an urban environment with windswept messy hair and a distressed black leather jacket. It specifies dynamic lighting from bright white train light streaks passing behind the subject, selectively illuminating the face and jacket while keeping the background in motion blur. The result is a dramatic, high-tension scene with strong contrast, realistic textures, and a film-like atmosphere.

## Inputs



### imageInputs

This prompt requires **exactly 1 image**. You **must pass exactly 1 image flag** (no more, no fewer), in the order matching the descriptions below.

| Index | Required | Description | Allowed CLI flags |
| ---: | ---: | --- | --- |
| 1 | Yes | A photo | `--image-input-url <url>` or `--image-input-base64 <base64>` or `--image-input-path <absolute path to image>` |


### 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:

```bash
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:

```bash
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 images:
  - **Exactly 1** images: image 1 (A photo). Images must be provided in this order.
- Optional: model and options.
  - Present the human with the default model **`gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview`** and its available options. Look up `gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview` in the `betterprompt resources` output (filtered to modality `"image"`) and show its `availableOptions` as: `key: val1, val2 (default), val3  |  key2: ...`. Mark a value `(default)` if it matches these defaults: `{"reasoningEffort":"minimal","aspectRatio":"1:1","resolution":"1K"}`.
  - If the human does not specify, defaults are used: model `gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview`, options `{"reasoningEffort":"minimal","aspectRatio":"1:1","resolution":"1K"}`. Other models from the resources call are also available.

If 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 (A photo)"**.

### Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI

Use the frontmatter's `name` as the positional argument (for this skill, use `ultra-realistic-cinematic-portrait`).

Command form:

```bash
betterprompt generate ultra-realistic-cinematic-portrait \
  [--image-input-url <url>] \
  [--image-input-base64 <base64>] \
  [--image-input-path <absolute path to image>] \
  [--model <model>] \
  [--options <options JSON>] \
  [--json]
```

Notes:

- Pass each image using one of `--image-input-url`, `--image-input-base64`, or `--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** `--model` and BetterPrompt will use the default model: **`gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview`**.
- If the human does **not** mention options, **omit** `--options` and BetterPrompt will use the default options: **`{"reasoningEffort":"minimal","aspectRatio":"1:1","resolution":"1K"}`**.
- If the run times out, the response will include a `runId` you can use to fetch the result later.

Example (using defaults shown above):

```bash
betterprompt generate ultra-realistic-cinematic-portrait \
  --image-input-url https://example.com/image1.png \
  --model gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview \
  --options '{"reasoningEffort":"minimal","aspectRatio":"1:1","resolution":"1K"}'
```
