The complete prompt
Create an ultra-realistic, high-resolution vertical cinematic fashion photograph based specifically on the uploaded reference image.
Recreate the same overall composition, subject placement, seated pose, hanging telephone arrangement, dark industrial environment, warm cinematic lighting, wet reflective floor, color palette, camera perspective, depth of field, and mysterious luxury editorial atmosphere.
SUBJECT & IDENTITY
Use the same person from the reference image as the subject. Preserve his exact facial identity and natural appearance if a reference portrait is provided: facial structure, skin tone, hairstyle, hairline, eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips, jawline, beard/stubble pattern, facial proportions, and overall identity.
Do not change his identity or make him look like a different person. Keep realistic natural skin texture and authentic facial proportions.
He has thick, naturally styled dark hair with a slightly swept-back textured finish and a well-groomed beard/stubble. His expression is calm, serious, confident, and mysterious.
POSE & BODY POSITION
Recreate the exact seated composition from the reference.
The subject sits relaxed and confidently on a dark vintage wooden chair positioned centrally in the scene.
His torso is slightly reclined. One arm rests naturally downward beside his thigh while his other hand holds a vintage telephone receiver close to his ear.
His legs are naturally spread in a relaxed fashion pose, with both feet firmly positioned on the floor.
Maintain realistic masculine proportions, natural anatomy, realistic hands and fingers, and the same relaxed-but-commanding body language.
OUTFIT
Dress the subject in a dark charcoal/black oversized textured knit sweater with realistic wool fabric and visible knit detail.
Add layered silver/metallic necklaces around his neck, including a pendant.
Wear loose-fitting black/dark trousers with natural fabric folds.
Add premium black leather combat-style boots with realistic leather texture, stitching, laces, and subtle reflections.
Add dark sunglasses with realistic reflective lenses, matching the reference's mysterious editorial aesthetic.
Keep accessories minimal but stylish.
TELEPHONE RECEIVER
The subject holds a classic vintage telephone receiver beside his ear.
Surround the entire environment with numerous old-fashioned telephone handsets hanging from long curly/coiled telephone cords.
Use a combination of glossy deep crimson-red and glossy black telephone receivers.
The receivers should hang at different heights and distances, creating strong foreground, middle-ground, and background depth.
Include realistic coiled cords extending from the hanging receivers toward the ceiling and floor.
The telephone arrangement should feel surreal, cinematic, artistic, and slightly mysterious while remaining physically realistic.
ENVIRONMENT
Create a dark industrial studio resembling an abandoned vintage telephone room.
The walls and background should be predominantly black, charcoal, and deep brown with subtle aged textures.
The environment should be almost completely dark around the edges, with a warm illuminated area behind the seated subject.
Create a narrow atmospheric corridor-like composition with telephone receivers surrounding the subject.
Do not introduce unrelated furniture or objects.
FLOOR
Create a dark wet reflective floor.
The floor should contain realistic puddles and subtle water reflections.
Reflect the subject's boots, chair legs, hanging red telephones, warm lights, and surrounding environment naturally across the wet surface.
Use physically accurate reflections rather than artificial mirror-like reflections.
LIGHTING
Use dramatic cinematic low-key lighting.
A strong warm amber/golden spotlight should illuminate the subject from above and slightly behind, creating a beautiful halo of atmospheric light.
Add subtle warm rim lighting around the subject's hair, shoulders, arms, and clothing.
Keep the outer edges of the frame extremely dark.
Use soft volumetric haze and subtle floating dust particles within the light beam.
The red telephone receivers should catch controlled highlights, making their glossy surfaces stand out against the dark background.
Maintain deep cinematic shadows while preserving realistic details.
COLOR GRADING
Use a sophisticated dark cinematic palette consisting of:
- Deep black
- Charcoal
- Dark brown
- Warm amber/golden highlights
- Burgundy/crimson red accents
- Natural skin tones
Apply subtle film grain, rich blacks, controlled highlights, slightly muted saturation, and premium cinematic contrast.
Avoid excessive orange skin tones or oversaturated reds.
CAMERA & COMPOSITION
Vertical 4:5 editorial composition.
Camera positioned approximately at seated eye level with a slightly low cinematic perspective.
Keep the subject centered in the frame.
Use the hanging telephones to create strong visual framing around the subject.
Include several large out-of-focus telephone receivers very close to the camera in the foreground, especially around the left and right edges.
Use layered depth:
foreground → blurred telephones
middle ground → seated subject and chair
background → additional hanging telephones and warm illuminated wall
Use a professional full-frame camera aesthetic with approximately a 50mm lens.
Moderately shallow depth of field.
Keep the subject's face, sunglasses, clothing, and primary telephone receiver sharply detailed while allowing some foreground and background receivers to fall naturally out of focus.
GRAPHIC / INSTAGRAM DETAILS
Preserve the minimalist editorial graphic language of the reference.
In the upper-left corner, add small clean white text:
“@thetecnil”
Use a modern minimalist sans-serif font with subtle spacing.
In the lower-right corner, add a white swipe-style graphic consisting of multiple left-pointing chevrons followed by:
“SWIPE”
Keep the graphic small, clean, and aligned with the reference composition.
Do not add unnecessary typography elsewhere.
ATMOSPHERE
The final photograph should feel:
dark, mysterious, sophisticated, masculine, cinematic, surreal, luxurious, editorial, artistic, premium, and slightly psychological.
The image should resemble an elite fashion magazine campaign or high-end cinematic Instagram editorial.

IMPORTANT
Use the uploaded reference image as the primary visual reference.
Match its composition, framing, pose, lighting direction, telephone arrangement, environment, color grading, depth, and overall visual mood as closely as possible.
If a separate identity/reference photo is supplied, preserve that person's facial identity exactly.
Do not beautify, reshape, age, de-age, or alter the face.
Do not distort hands, fingers, feet, telephone receivers, cords, chair, or body proportions.
Keep the image realistic and cinematic rather than cartoonish or AI-art-looking.Copy the complete prompt and use your own reference photos where requested.
