The complete prompt
Ultra-realistic professional DSLR photograph of a young man seated casually on a modern gray fabric sofa in a minimalist warm-toned interior, full-body vertical portrait. He has thick short naturally curly black hair and wears dark rectangular amber-tinted sunglasses, an oversized relaxed black button-up shirt with an open collar, loose wide-leg black trousers, polished black leather ankle boots, and a metallic wristwatch. His body is relaxed and slightly reclined into the sofa; legs extend forward with one leg crossing subtly over the other, left hand resting naturally near his lap while the right hand lightly grips the shirt collar near his shoulder. Head turned slightly to the side, gaze directed away from camera, calm neutral expression. Preserve natural anatomy, realistic proportions and authentic skin texture.
Minimal contemporary room with a large gray upholstered sectional sofa on the left, clean cream-beige walls forming a corner behind him, a low white rectangular cabinet/console extending from the right foreground, and a dark patterned Persian-style rug beneath the sofa and boots. Vertical composition, approximately 4:5 portrait framing, camera positioned slightly above seated eye level with a natural 35mm–45mm full-frame perspective, moderate wide-angle rendering without distortion. Subject placed slightly left of center with generous negative space above and to the right. Warm dim indoor ambient lighting, soft directional illumination from the upper-left/front, gentle shadows across the wall and sofa, subtle falloff into darker lower areas, realistic contact shadows beneath the furniture and footwear.
Muted warm beige, charcoal gray and deep black color palette; slightly warm white balance, low-to-moderate saturation, soft lifted midtones, deep but detailed blacks, restrained contrast, smooth highlight roll-off, naturally warm skin rendering and subtle golden-brown tonal bias. Slight underexposure for an intimate editorial mood, fine natural digital/film grain, soft micro-contrast, mild lens softness and gentle highlight bloom, no artificial HDR, realistic fabric texture, leather reflections, hair detail and physically accurate light behavior. Photorealistic, cinematic editorial photography, authentic DSLR optics, natural depth and dimensionality, highly detailed but not oversharpened, genuine photographic realism. If [MY FACE] is provided, replace only the subject's facial identity with [MY FACE], preserving the exact facial structure, proportions, skin tone, texture, asymmetry, distinctive features and natural expression without beautification or facial redesign.
