Lakeside Casual 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 as closely as possible, matching the pose, body positioning, camera angle, framing, composition, clothing, environment, lighting, colour palette, mood and photographic aesthetic.

Create an ultra-realistic vertical 4:5 lifestyle fashion portrait of a young Indian man seated casually at a scenic lakeside location surrounded by soft greenery and tropical foliage.

Subject & Pose

Match the reference pose closely:

Young Indian man seated in a relaxed position
Upper body facing mostly towards the camera
Looking directly into the camera
Calm, confident expression with a subtle natural smile
One knee raised prominently in the foreground
One arm resting naturally over the raised knee
Other hand positioned casually near the lower torso
Relaxed shoulders
Natural, effortless seated posture
Upper body and raised leg clearly visible

The pose should feel candid and comfortable, like a spontaneous travel-fashion photograph.

Face & Hair

If a separate face reference is provided, use ONLY the facial identity from that reference.

Preserve the exact facial structure, proportions, skin tone, eyes, nose, lips and jawline.

Hair should be thick, dark and naturally textured with slightly messy wavy volume, matching the relaxed outdoor aesthetic.

Maintain realistic skin texture, pores and natural facial detail.

Outfit
Shirt

A lightweight sky-blue casual button-up shirt.

Details:

Relaxed fit
Long sleeves
Sleeves naturally rolled or pushed slightly upward
Open collar with the upper buttons undone
Single subtle chest pocket
Lightweight cotton/linen texture
Natural wrinkles and folds
No branding or logos
Trousers

Relaxed-fit black trousers, visible prominently around the raised knee and lower frame.

Keep the trousers naturally creased according to the seated pose.

Accessories

Add:

Dark rectangular sunglasses
Minimal metallic wristwatch
No excessive jewellery

The sunglasses should have subtle realistic reflections without obscuring the facial structure excessively.

Environment

Recreate the scenic outdoor setting:

Large calm lake or river in the background
Green grassy banks
Dense distant tree line
Soft tropical foliage around the edges of the composition
A few out-of-focus leaves framing the upper corners
Slightly hazy atmospheric background
No distracting people
No busy structures

The location should feel peaceful, spacious and naturally photographed.

Lighting

Soft overcast daylight with gentle natural illumination.

Use:

Even light across the subject
Soft facial shadows
Subtle highlights on the shirt
Natural reflections in the sunglasses
Slight atmospheric haze
No harsh direct sunlight

The lighting should retain the soft, muted outdoor quality of the reference.

Composition

Use a vertical 4:5 composition.

Match the reference framing closely:

Subject centred slightly left
Head positioned around the upper-middle area
Raised knee occupying the lower-right foreground
Lake visible directly behind the subject
Foliage naturally framing the upper corners
Large amount of soft sky and atmospheric space above the horizon
Medium-full seated portrait
Background clearly recognisable but softly blurred

Use natural depth and layering between foreground foliage, subject and distant landscape.

Camera & Photography

Professional full-frame lifestyle photography.

Approximately 50mm lens, with realistic proportions and no wide-angle distortion.

Use a moderately shallow depth of field:

Face and upper body sharply focused
Sunglasses and shirt details crisp
Raised knee naturally detailed
Background lake and vegetation softly blurred
Foreground leaves slightly out of focus

Natural optical bokeh and realistic lens rendering.

Colour Grading

Use a soft, natural outdoor colour palette:

Pale sky blue
Muted greens
Soft blue shirt
Deep black trousers
Natural warm skin tones
Slightly desaturated background

Keep contrast moderate and preserve realistic tonal detail.

The final result should look like a real premium travel-fashion photograph captured beside a lake, with authentic skin, fabric, hair, hands and environmental details.

Negative Instructions

Aspect ratio: 4:5 vertical.
