The complete prompt
Create an ultra-realistic, high-resolution cinematic lifestyle fashion portrait based specifically on the uploaded reference image.
Use the uploaded image as the PRIMARY and STRICT visual reference. Recreate the same composition, subject placement, seated/relaxed posture, head angle, facial expression, hairstyle, sunglasses, clothing, jacket position, interior environment, window placement, bookshelf, lighting, shadows, framing, color palette, film grain, and overall moody editorial photography aesthetic.
SUBJECT & IDENTITY
Use the same person from the reference image as the subject. Preserve his exact facial identity, facial structure, face shape, natural skin texture, eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips, jawline, beard/stubble pattern, hairstyle, and body proportions.
Do not change, beautify, reshape, age, slim, bulk up, or replace his face. Keep the natural facial characteristics and realistic skin texture.
POSE & EXPRESSION
The subject is seated in a relaxed, slightly reclined position indoors.
His upper body is angled slightly toward the right side of the frame while his head is turned toward the window on the right. His chin is slightly raised, creating a calm, confident and introspective expression.
He is looking toward the window/right side of the frame through dark round sunglasses. Maintain the exact head tilt, neck position, shoulder angle and relaxed posture shown in the reference.
One hand is naturally positioned near the lower front of his body/jacket area while the other arm rests casually. Preserve the natural relaxed body language.
HAIRSTYLE
Preserve the thick, naturally wavy/curly dark hairstyle with soft volume.
Keep the original hairline, texture, direction, volume and individual strands. The hair should appear naturally styled rather than excessively groomed.
ACCESSORIES
Keep the same dark, round/oval sunglasses with thin metallic frames.
The sunglasses should have realistic reflective lenses and natural reflections from the nearby window. Do not add any other accessories or jewelry.
OUTFIT
The subject is wearing a fitted light cream/off-white sleeveless crew-neck tank top.
Preserve the natural fabric texture, subtle wrinkles, neckline, shoulder fit and realistic draping.
A dark black/charcoal jacket is casually worn around the arms and lower shoulders, partially slipped down rather than fully worn. Preserve the jacket's position, zipper details, folds, fabric texture and relaxed styling exactly as shown.
ENVIRONMENT
Recreate the same intimate indoor setting.
Place the subject near a large vertical window on the right side of the frame. Warm natural daylight enters through the window and creates soft highlights along the subject's face, hair, shoulder and upper body.
On the left side of the background, recreate the dark built-in bookshelf with several shelves containing subtle books and a small plant/decorative object.
Keep the background minimal, dark and slightly indistinct so the subject remains the primary visual focus.
LIGHTING
Use soft, directional natural window light coming predominantly from the right side.
Create a dramatic low-key lighting setup with gentle highlights on the face and upper body while allowing portions of the background and jacket to fall into deep natural shadows.
Maintain realistic light falloff, subtle facial shadows, soft reflected light and natural window illumination.
Avoid harsh studio lighting or artificial-looking highlights.
CAMERA & COMPOSITION
Vertical portrait composition.
Recreate the same close-to-medium framing as the reference, showing the subject from approximately the upper thighs/chest area upward depending on the natural composition.
Position the subject slightly toward the center-right of the frame.
Keep the window clearly visible along the right edge and the bookshelf occupying the left background.
Camera positioned approximately at eye/chest level with a natural portrait perspective.
Maintain the same visual balance and negative space as the reference.
DEPTH OF FIELD
Use a shallow cinematic depth of field.
Keep the subject's face, sunglasses, hair and upper body sharply detailed while the bookshelf, background objects and darker surroundings gradually fall into soft optical blur.
Use realistic lens bokeh and natural depth separation rather than artificial digital blur.
COLOR & GRADING
Use a muted, warm, desaturated cinematic color palette.
Combine soft beige/cream skin and clothing tones with deep charcoal/black shadows and subtle warm brown-gray environmental tones.
Preserve realistic skin tones while applying a subtle vintage editorial color grade.
Moderate contrast, deep blacks, soft highlights, slightly desaturated colors, high dynamic range and subtle analog film characteristics.
PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE
Ultra-realistic professional lifestyle/editorial fashion photography.
Moody indoor portrait campaign aesthetic, cinematic natural window lighting, realistic skin pores, individual hair strands, authentic clothing texture, natural wrinkles, realistic sunglasses reflections, full-frame professional camera quality.
Approximately 50mm–85mm portrait lens aesthetic, wide aperture around f/1.8–f/2.8, shallow depth of field, subtle natural film grain, realistic photographic imperfections.
The final result must look like a genuine professionally photographed editorial portrait captured with a high-end full-frame camera — not an illustration, CGI render, painting, or AI-generated-looking image.
IMPORTANT
Do not change the subject's identity, facial structure, hairstyle, body proportions, pose, head position, sunglasses, clothing design, jacket placement, background composition, lighting direction, or overall framing.
Do not add jewelry, watches, additional people, vehicles, modern objects, text, logos, or unrelated elements.
Preserve the exact visual mood and understated cinematic atmosphere of the reference image.Copy the complete prompt and use your own reference photos where requested.
