Prompt
A detective's evidence board investigating [[SUBJECT/MYSTERY]]. Cork surface covered with pinned items: polaroid photographs with handwritten dates, a street map with circled locations, newspaper clippings with highlighted passages, sticky notes with theories and question marks, and printed documents with redacted black bars. Red string connects related evidence across the board, creating a web of connections. Thumbtacks in primary colors. A single bare bulb casts dramatic shadows. Coffee ring stains on some papers. The atmosphere is obsessive, late-night, noir—someone has been piecing this together for months. A few pins have fallen, suggesting frantic recent activity.

Style Notes

Cinematic
Film-style rendering — widescreen framing, dramatic lighting contrast, graded colors (often teal-orange), and a sense of narrative in the scene.
Dark & Moody
Low ambient light, deep shadows, desaturated or cool palette — atmosphere and mystery over clarity.
Hero Portrait
A single dominant subject shot like a key visual — tight framing, strong eye contact or pose, background simplified so the character carries the image.
Photo
Asks the model for photorealistic output — natural lighting, believable skin and materials, camera-like depth of field — rather than illustration or 3D looks.
