The complete prompt
Use the uploaded image as the PRIMARY VISUAL REFERENCE. Recreate the overall composition, camera angle, subject placement, selfie perspective, Burj Khalifa positioning, architecture, pose, clothing, lighting, colour palette and casual travel-photography style as closely as possible.
Create a photorealistic cinematic travel selfie of a young Indian man standing outdoors in downtown Dubai with the Burj Khalifa towering dramatically behind him.
Main Subject
A young Indian man is taking a casual selfie-style photograph.
Natural slim-to-athletic build
Medium warm Indian skin tone
Thick, voluminous black hair styled upward naturally
Short natural stubble
Defined but realistic facial features
Relaxed, subtle confident expression
Looking directly toward the camera
Head slightly tilted
One hand raised naturally toward his sunglasses
Fingers lightly touching the upper corner/temple of the sunglasses
Other arm extending toward the camera as if holding a phone
Close-up to medium portrait framing
Natural selfie perspective
The expression should feel relaxed and confident, like a genuine holiday photograph.
Clothing
He is wearing a contemporary relaxed travel outfit:
White crew-neck T-shirt underneath
Lightweight textured overshirt
White/cream base colour
Subtle vertical blue-grey woven/check pattern
Open front
Relaxed fit
Slightly rolled sleeves
Minimal styling
Dark oversized rectangular sunglasses
Simple ring on one finger
The outfit should feel premium, breathable and suitable for a hot-weather city.
Burj Khalifa
The Burj Khalifa must be the dominant architectural landmark behind the subject.
Important details:
Extremely tall modern skyscraper
Clearly recognisable Burj Khalifa silhouette
Tower extending from the lower-left/background upward toward the top edge
Dramatic perspective caused by the low selfie camera angle
Detailed vertical façade
Distinctive stepped tapering structure
Realistic glass-and-metal surface
Tower should feel enormous compared with the subject
The skyscraper should not be replaced with a generic tower.
Dubai Environment
Place the subject in the Downtown Dubai area.
Include:
Modern glass-and-steel buildings
Contemporary shopping/commercial architecture
Urban streetscape
Subtle Dubai skyline elements
Clean, polished urban environment
Architectural details visible around the subject
Natural tourist atmosphere without crowds overwhelming the frame
Keep background elements slightly softened so the subject and Burj Khalifa remain dominant.
Camera & Composition
Use a vertical 4:5 composition.
The camera should feel like a smartphone held at arm's length.
Camera characteristics:
Wide-angle smartphone selfie perspective
Camera positioned slightly below or around face level
Noticeable but realistic perspective distortion
Subject close to the lens
Face occupies the right/central portion
Burj Khalifa rises diagonally from the lower-left toward the upper-left/top edge
Large amount of open blue sky
Subject partially overlaps the skyline
Slight upward camera angle
Preserve the distinctive landmark + close selfie composition of the reference.
Lighting
Use bright natural daytime Dubai sunlight.
Clear daylight
Soft-to-moderate directional sunlight
Natural highlights on the subject's hair and face
Slight warm sunlight on skin
Realistic shadows
Bright blue sky
Mild atmospheric haze around distant buildings
Natural reflections on sunglasses
Avoid harsh artificial studio lighting.
Sky
Use a clean pale-to-medium blue sky.
Mostly clear
Very subtle atmospheric haze
No dramatic storm clouds
Natural Dubai daylight
Slight gradient from lighter near the horizon to deeper blue higher up
The large sky area should help emphasise the height of the Burj Khalifa.
Photography Style
Photorealistic modern smartphone travel photography.
High-quality smartphone camera
Wide-angle lens
Natural computational photography
Realistic HDR
Accurate skin texture
Natural facial pores
Detailed hair
Realistic sunglasses reflections
Authentic urban perspective
Slightly warm travel colour grading
Crisp but not over-sharpened
Natural contrast
No artificial cinematic effects
The result should look like an authentic tourist selfie taken in Dubai, not a professional studio photograph.
Mood
Dubai travel + confidence + luxury + youthful energy + spontaneous holiday moment
Keep it casual and believable.
Critical Realism Requirements
Maintain accurate:
Facial anatomy
Hands and fingers
Sunglasses
Hair
Overshirt texture and pattern
Selfie perspective
Burj Khalifa geometry
Building perspective
Natural sunlight

Correct relationship between the subject and background
The Burj Khalifa should appear physically behind the subject and remain dramatically tall without looking pasted into the image.
