The complete prompt
Ultra-realistic cinematic vintage analog-film photograph of a young adult man standing alone in a vast sunflower field at golden hour, recreating the reference image as closely as possible with the same composition, framing, pose, proportions, lighting, atmosphere, color palette, and nostalgic photographic aesthetic.
SUBJECT:
A young adult man with a lean, naturally athletic physique and realistic masculine proportions. He has medium-length, thick, naturally wavy dark-to-medium brown hair, slightly tousled and lifted by a gentle breeze, with loose strands around his forehead and ears. His facial features are natural and well-defined, with a straight nose, defined jawline, subtle cheekbones, natural lips, and realistic skin texture. His expression is calm, quiet, thoughtful, and slightly melancholic. He is looking toward the left side of the frame in a relaxed three-quarter/profile view rather than looking directly into the camera.
HAIR:
Medium-length naturally wavy brown hair with soft volume, slightly messy and windblown. Individual strands catch the warm sunlight, producing a subtle golden rim light around the hair.
CLOTHING:
He wears a loose, lightweight off-white/cream linen or cotton button-up shirt with a soft natural texture. The shirt has an open relaxed collar with the upper buttons undone, slightly loose around the torso, and long sleeves casually rolled toward the forearms. He wears simple dark high-waisted trousers with a relaxed fit. The styling is minimal, timeless, understated, and romantic.
POSE:
The man stands naturally among the sunflowers. His torso faces mostly toward the camera while his head turns toward the left side of the frame. His left hand gently holds a single sunflower by its long green stem in front of his chest and lower torso. His other arm hangs naturally beside his body. His posture is relaxed, elegant, quiet, and unposed.
SUNFLOWER:
One prominent sunflower is held vertically in front of his shirt, positioned around the center-lower portion of his torso. The flower has vivid golden-yellow petals, a dark brown center, and a long green stem. Additional sunflowers surround him naturally throughout the field.
ENVIRONMENT:
A vast open sunflower field stretching into the distance during sunset. Numerous sunflowers fill the lower half and background of the image. The foreground contains several softly blurred sunflower heads and leaves, creating strong depth and cinematic layering. The background is an open rural landscape with a low horizon and no distracting buildings or modern objects.
SKY:
The upper half of the frame is dominated by a huge expansive evening sky. The sky contains delicate scattered clouds with soft horizontal formations. The clouds and atmosphere transition through muted peach, dusty pink, warm orange, amber, and soft lavender tones.
SUN:
A low setting sun appears on the left side of the frame, close to the horizon. The sun is small but clearly visible and glowing intensely through the warm atmospheric haze. Its light creates beautiful golden-orange backlighting around the subject and flowers.
LIGHTING:
Natural golden-hour sunset lighting. Strong warm backlight from the setting sun creates a soft glowing rim around the man's hair and shoulders. His face is partially in shadow because he is turned away from the sun, while the edges of his face, hair, shirt, and shoulders receive subtle amber highlights. The lighting should remain soft, atmospheric, cinematic, and natural rather than harsh or artificial.
COMPOSITION:
Vertical portrait composition, approximately 2:3 aspect ratio. The man occupies the central-right portion of the frame while the setting sun sits toward the left side. His head is positioned around the upper-middle area of the image. Leave a large amount of negative space above his head, allowing the expansive sunset sky to dominate the upper portion. The sunflower field fills the lower portion of the frame. Maintain the exact visual balance between sky, subject, sun, and flowers seen in the reference.
CAMERA:
Professional cinematic portrait photography, natural eye-level camera perspective, approximately 50mm–85mm full-frame lens look. Moderate shallow depth of field. The subject is sharply rendered while the nearest flowers and distant background gradually fall into soft focus. Natural perspective and realistic proportions.
IMAGE CHARACTER:
Authentic vintage analog film photograph rather than a digital illustration. Fine organic film grain, subtle film texture, gentle halation around the sun, slightly faded highlights, soft contrast, natural skin tones, delicate light leaks, subtle lens bloom, restrained sharpness, and beautiful cinematic highlight roll-off.
COLOR GRADING:
Warm nostalgic film color grading with muted peach, dusty pink, amber, golden yellow, earthy brown, olive green, and soft cream tones. Preserve the natural colors of the sunflowers while allowing the sunset to bathe the entire scene in warm orange-gold light.
DEPTH:
Strong cinematic depth created by blurred foreground sunflowers, sharply focused subject, and softly atmospheric distant field and horizon. The foreground flowers should partially overlap the lower frame naturally without obscuring the man's face or main sunflower.
MOOD:
Dreamy, romantic, peaceful, nostalgic, intimate, poetic, contemplative, slightly melancholic, and timeless. The image should feel like an authentic still from a beautiful vintage coming-of-age romance film.
PHOTOREALISM:
Extremely realistic human anatomy, realistic facial proportions, authentic skin pores and texture, natural hair strands, physically accurate fabric, realistic sunflower petals and leaves, natural atmospheric perspective, realistic sunset illumination, realistic shadows, subtle analog imperfections, no artificial CGI appearance.
NEGATIVE PROMPT:
cartoon, illustration, anime, 3D render, CGI, plastic skin, artificial face, excessive beauty retouching, oversharpening, HDR, harsh contrast, distorted anatomy, extra fingers, malformed hands, duplicate flowers, duplicated body parts, unnatural hair, modern studio lighting, flat lighting, excessive saturation, neon colors, fake bokeh, unrealistic sunset, text, captions, watermark, logo, border.
FINAL RESULT:
A highly photorealistic, cinematic, nostalgic vintage-film portrait that matches the reference image's composition, subject placement, pose, sunset position, expansive sky, sunflower field, warm color grading, soft focus, film grain, and quiet romantic atmosphere as closely as possible.Copy the complete prompt and use your own reference photos where requested.
