The prompt

Regrade my photo as a cinematic frame. Push the shadows and mid-tone background toward teal while keeping the skin warm and separated. Add a subtle anamorphic feel: slightly squeezed bokeh, a gentle horizontal flare from the brightest source, mild vignetting. Widen the contrast with a filmic S-curve, protect the highlights, and add a fine layer of digital-cinema grain. Letterbox the frame to 2.39:1 with clean black bars. Keep my face, bone structure, natural skin tone and identity exactly as they are in my photo — change the styling around me, never who I am.

“Use it” opens the editor with this prompt already loaded — add your photo and generate. Copy works anywhere else: ChatGPT, Gemini, Midjourney.

One thing that helps

Teal and orange fails when skin goes teal too. Tell it to 'keep skin tones warm and unaffected'.
