What you will get

A moody, quiet portrait of you at a window with rain on the glass, cool blue-grey light outside, a warm glow inside and both hands around a cup of tea or coffee.

Why it works

The mood comes from contrast: cool blue light outside, warm glow inside and raindrops on the glass. A cup in your hands gives a calm pose. Keeping your face exactly the same, with a calm expression as the tip suggests, carries the feeling.

Common mistake

The raindrops are huge and cover your face.

Fix: Ask for “drops only on the glass in front of the lens, face sharp behind it, shallow depth of field”.

Also watch for

The warm and cool light are muddled. State it directly: “cool daylight from the window, warm lamp light on the face”.
The expression is too happy for the mood. Pick a calm photo to start from, or add “soft, thoughtful, relaxed face”.

Try a variation: make it black and white

Ask for the same scene in black and white with strong contrast, keeping the raindrops and the steam from the cup.

Still not right? Reply with this

Keep the mood. Turn my gaze towards the window and add steam rising from the cup.
