Intimate close-up portrait of a young man looking out of a bus window at night, raindrops and streaks across the glass in sharp focus, his face softly out of focus behind them, city lights blurred into red and amber bokeh, reflection of the street faintly visible on the glass, melancholic expression, natural skin texture, 85mm lens, f/1.8, cinematic color grading, teal shadows and warm highlights

Tips for better results

  1. 01Putting focus on the raindrops, not the face, is what sells the mood. Keep 'face softly out of focus' in the prompt.
  2. 02Change 'young man' to any subject you need — the lighting recipe carries over unchanged.
  3. 03For a vertical story format use 9:16 and add 'subject in the lower third'.

Variations to try

  • Same shot from inside a car, windshield wipers mid-swipe, traffic lights turning the rain red

  • Black and white version, heavy grain, only the raindrops lit
