Prompt

Cinematic still of a cyberpunk city street at night: {{street}}. Main subject: {{subject}}, seen from behind at mid distance, walking toward the vanishing point. Rain-soaked asphalt reflecting neon signs in {{neon}}, steam rising from vents, dense layered signage with unreadable abstract glyphs, overhead cables and holographic ads with no real brands. Shot on a 35mm anamorphic lens at street level, shallow depth of field, oval bokeh, light haze, subtle film grain and teal-tinted shadows. Framing: {{framing}}. Mood: lonely, electric and slightly dangerous. Photorealistic, high dynamic range, no legible text, no logos.

How to use it

  1. Give the street character with one concrete detail: a food stall, a market under an overpass, a canal.
  2. Limit the neon to two dominant colors so the image does not become chaotic.
  3. If garbled letters appear on signs, reinforce "no legible text" or remove them afterwards with generative fill.
  4. For desktop wallpapers, generate in a widescreen ratio.

Usage example

Street: a night market under an elevated freeway · Subject: a courier in a clear raincoat with a glowing backpack · Neon: magenta and cyan · Framing: symmetrical wide shot.

Frequently asked questions

Why ask for unreadable glyphs instead of real signs?

Image AIs often misspell text, and garbled lettering gives the image away. It also avoids reproducing real brands or business names.

What does specifying an anamorphic lens add?

It nudges the model toward film traits: oval bokeh, horizontal flares and a widescreen feel. It does not guarantee the effect, but it usually gets closer.
