The prompt
A cinematic, warm-toned close-up photograph of a craftsman working at a wooden desk in the evening. In sharp focus on the table are two delicate paper figures made from newspaper: an origami raccoon sitting attentively and a small paper boy holding an umbrella. The man’s hand gently holds and positions the paper doll, while his face appears softly blurred in the background, showing deep concentration. A single desk lamp casts dramatic, golden light from above, creating long shadows and highlighting the fine paper textures. Shallow depth of field, soft bokeh background, realistic photography style, intimate and whimsical atmosphere, storytelling composition, high contrast lighting, handcrafted aesthetic.

Which AI model works best

These prompts are written for image-generation models (Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, DALL-E 3, Flux) — not chat LLMs. Copy them into your image tool. Midjourney v7 excels at photorealistic portraits; Stable Diffusion 3.5 is the best for fine-tuning and custom checkpoints; DALL-E 3 integrates seamlessly with ChatGPT.

How to customize this prompt

Keep the style descriptors and lighting keywords — these are what make the output consistent. Change the subject, background, and pose freely. Add or remove quality modifiers like "hyper-detailed", "cinematic lighting", "35mm film". For Stable Diffusion, use weight syntax: (keyword:1.3) to emphasize.
