The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the highlighted part of the prompt changes.

Prompt

A cinematic still in near darkness: several faces turned in the same direction and lit softly from one side, with a cluster of glossy red balloons crowding the foreground and falling out of focus. The red is the only saturated colour in the frame, everything else in warm brown shadow. Shallow focus separating one face from the rest, fine grain, no light source visible.
