While I was still at my tutor's house, I decided to complete my Module 3, Slot 9 practical exercise. I uploaded my photo and used the following prompt to generate a cinematic AI portrait:
"Create a hyper-realistic 3:4 cinematic portrait while preserving my exact original face and facial features from the uploaded photo. Dress me in a tailored black suit, crisp white shirt, and black tie, complemented by red-tinted sunglasses and a stylish hairstyle. Position me against a dark gradient background with subtle haze and dramatic rim-light flare. Capture a calm, confident, and serious expression using moody studio lighting. The final image should have a premium editorial, noir-inspired fashion aesthetic with ultra-realistic 4K-quality detail."
For Module 3, Slot 9, I continued experimenting with AI image generation while at my tutor's house. I uploaded my photograph and crafted a detailed prompt to transform it into a hyper-realistic cinematic portrait. The prompt emphasized preserving my original facial features while enhancing the image with professional fashion styling, dramatic studio lighting, and a noir-inspired editorial look. This exercise demonstrated how carefully written prompts can produce visually striking, high-quality AI-generated portraits.
