Rooftop Sunset City Portrait
Written for ChatGPT. Results and reference-photo support may differ across models.
The complete prompt
Use the uploaded image as the PRIMARY VISUAL REFERENCE. Recreate the visual concept as closely as possible, especially the pose, body positioning, camera angle, framing, composition, clothing style, environment, lighting, colour palette, mood and photographic aesthetic.
Create an ultra-realistic vertical 4:5 lifestyle fashion portrait of a young Indian man casually leaning against a concrete rooftop parapet overlooking a dense modern city skyline at sunset.
Subject & Pose
A young Indian man stands in a relaxed fashion-editorial pose against the rooftop parapet.
Match the reference pose closely:
Body positioned at a slight angle to the camera
Upper back and hips naturally leaning against the parapet
Head turned towards the left side of the frame
Looking away from the camera towards the city
Both hands casually placed inside the trouser pockets
One leg straight and supporting the body
Other leg bent and crossed naturally in front of the supporting leg
Relaxed shoulders and natural posture
Calm, thoughtful expression
Full body visible
The pose should feel effortless and candid rather than deliberately modelled.
Face & Hair
If a separate face reference is provided, use ONLY the facial identity from that face reference and do not copy the identity of the person in the main image.
Preserve realistic facial proportions, natural skin texture, facial structure, eyes, nose, lips and jawline.
Hair should be thick, dark and naturally curly/wavy, with slightly tousled volume around the forehead and sides.
Outfit
Outer Layer
Olive-green lightweight bomber jacket with:
Relaxed contemporary fit
Ribbed collar
Ribbed cuffs
Front zip closure
Subtle sleeve utility pocket
Natural fabric texture
Realistic folds and creases
Inner Layer
Plain clean white crew-neck T-shirt, partially visible underneath the jacket.
Trousers
Relaxed-fit black trousers, slightly loose through the legs with natural folds.
Footwear
Clean white low-top sneakers with realistic leather/fabric texture and subtle sole detailing.
Accessories
Add a minimal silver-toned wristwatch on the left wrist.
Keep accessories understated and realistic.
Environment
Recreate the rooftop environment from the reference:
Large concrete rooftop parapet
Open urban rooftop floor
Dense modern city skyline stretching into the distance
Multiple apartment and commercial towers
Buildings at different heights
Atmospheric urban haze
Rooftop architectural details kept minimal
No unnecessary foreground objects
The city should feel expansive and believable, with the subject clearly separated from the skyline.
Sunset & Lighting
The sunset is a major visual element.
Create a warm late-evening sky transitioning naturally from soft peach and orange near the horizon into muted cooler tones higher in the sky.
Use warm golden-hour backlighting:
Soft sunlight outlining the subject's hair
Gentle warm rim light around the shoulders and jacket
Subtle illumination on the face
Long, soft shadows
Natural atmospheric haze over the city
Balanced exposure between the subject and bright sky
Do not make the sunset excessively orange or artificial.
Composition
Match the reference composition closely.
Use a vertical 4:5 frame with:
Full-body subject occupying the central-left portion
Large amount of sky visible above the skyline
City skyline occupying the middle background
Concrete parapet running diagonally through the composition
Subject leaning naturally against the parapet
Feet clearly visible
Strong negative space around the subject
Balanced architectural geometry
The composition should feel like a premium contemporary menswear editorial photograph.
Camera & Photography
Professional full-frame photography.
Use approximately a 50mm lens with natural perspective and realistic body proportions.
Moderately shallow depth of field:
Subject sharply detailed
Skyline softly separated but still recognisable
Natural atmospheric depth
Subtle optical falloff
Photorealistic skin, realistic fabric, accurate hands and feet, natural hair strands and physically believable lighting.
Colour Grading
Use a sophisticated natural sunset colour palette:
Warm peach and amber sky
Muted olive-green jacket
Deep black trousers
Clean white T-shirt and sneakers
Soft neutral concrete
Slightly desaturated urban skyline
Use subtle cinematic tonal separation without excessive contrast, HDR or colour manipulation.
The final image should look like a real professional fashion photograph taken on a rooftop during golden hour, not an AI-generated image.
Negative Instructions
No face distortion, no altered facial identity, no plastic skin, no excessive retouching, no distorted hands, no extra fingers, no malformed feet, no duplicated limbs, no warped clothing, no unrealistic body proportions, no artificial skyline, no fantasy buildings, no excessive sunset saturation, no extreme HDR, no harsh artificial lighting, no fisheye distortion, no text, no watermark, no logos.
