The Vision

About Cinematic Portrait

This Cinematic Portrait template specializes in high-contrast 'chiaroscuro' lighting, inspired by the dramatic painting styles of Rembrandt and the visual language of classic film noir. By utilizing a 35mm cinema camera simulation at f/1.4, it creates a razor-sharp focus on the subject's gaze while melting the background into professional bokeh. It's designed for users wanting to capture raw emotional intensity and theatrical depth, making any character look like they belong on a high-end movie poster or in a prestigious editorial magazine.

Knowledge Base

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about creating cinematic portrait content

Yes, you can fully edit the prompt. While the default uses Rembrandt lighting, you can add 'with red neon highlights' or 'warm golden hour glow' to the text. This flexibility allows you to maintain the cinematic quality while matching your specific brand or project color scheme.

No, you can adjust the aspect ratio settings. While 9:16 is the default for mobile, you can select 16:9 for cinematic widescreen shots or 1:1 for square profile pictures. The AI will automatically adapt the composition to fit your chosen dimensions perfectly.

Since this template uses the 'Ultra' quality model by default for the best resolution and detail, it costs 16 credits per image. If you are testing different ideas, you can switch to the 'Base' model for only 1 credit to save on your balance.
