Style prompt

The photograph has shallow focus and abundant circular bokeh, with a small crisp focal region surrounded by broad, overlapping pools of light. Electric cyan and deep indigo contrast with amber, peach, and coral; near-white highlights punctuate the transition. Warm backlight outlines selected edges, while cooler reflected light supplies delicate detail in the center. Dark passages remain between the bright circles, preventing the saturated palette from flattening into a solid glow. Foreground blur partly overlaps the focal form, adding depth and a soft sense of visual interruption. The overall treatment is intimate and dreamy, with optical light effects carrying as much presence as the central shape.

Full example prompt

A square color portrait photograph shows a young woman with round glasses turned partly away from the camera amid blurred city lights at night. The background is deliberately out of focus, filled with vertical turquoise and cream light bars and scattered amber, coral, and blue circles. Some luminous disks drift across the foreground as well, partially veiling her shoulder and the edges of her hair. The woman stands slightly left of center, with her body angled to the right and her head turned back toward the viewer. Loose blond strands fall around a calm, slightly distant face; her lips are parted and her gaze passes through thin metal-rimmed glasses. Tiny cyan reflections multiply in both lenses, making the eyes the sharpest and most arresting detail. A dark blue jacket fills the lower left and falls into shadow, its seams and fabric texture only faintly visible. Warm orange light catches the hair along the right side of her head and runs down the long strands, while cooler blue light brushes the left shoulder. The face sits between these opposed colors, modeled softly instead of sharply separated into bright and dark halves. At the top and far sides, deep indigo gaps keep the abundant blurred lights from becoming an even field. The shallow depth of field turns distant lamps into broad overlapping bokeh, with some bright circles almost white at the center and saturated at their fringes. The lighting is mixed and urban, with warm backlight and cool frontal reflections rather than a single hard beam. The overall composition anchors a quiet, readable portrait inside restless blue and amber light, giving an ordinary nighttime moment a dreamy atmosphere.
