Film Grain Vintage Portrait
Prompt
Transform this portrait into a vintage 35mm film photograph. Emulate Kodak Portra 400 film stock: warm skin tones, slightly desaturated greens and blues, creamy highlights with a warm shift, and a characteristic film grain structure. Add light leaks: a subtle warm orange/bloom light leak from the left edge and a faint cyan/blue leak from the bottom-right corner. Slight halation around bright areas (skin highlights, sky). Slightly faded blacks — lift the black point to a dark gray. The overall feel should be nostalgic, like a photo from a 1990s family album or a hipster travel blog. Keep the face exactly as in the original. Output: 3:2 landscape, authentic film look.

FAQ
Will the film grain look realistic?
AI-generated grain is generally convincing. If it looks too digital, add 'natural analog film grain, not digital noise' for emphasis.
Can I get black and white instead?
Yes — replace the film stock with 'Ilford HP5 Plus 400 B&W' and remove the light leak instructions.
