The complete prompt
Create an ultra-photorealistic 8K vertical full-body street photograph using the uploaded reference image as the identity reference for the young man.
IDENTITY REFERENCE — HIGHEST PRIORITY:
Use the uploaded reference image as the source of the man's identity. Preserve his recognizable facial structure, natural facial proportions, skin tone, hairline and defining facial characteristics. He must clearly remain the same person as the reference image.
Do not replace the face with a generic face. Do not excessively beautify, reshape, smooth, age or de-age the face. Preserve natural facial asymmetry, realistic skin texture and recognizable features. The reference image determines WHO the person is; all instructions below determine the new environment, clothing, pose and composition.
SUBJECT:
A young man with naturally textured, slightly messy hair, wearing a fitted black button-up shirt and dark bootcut trousers. Keep the clothing realistic with natural fabric folds and subtle imperfections.
POSE:
Full-body aesthetic street-fashion pose on the wet sloped alley.
He is standing naturally on the stone pavement, body slightly angled, with relaxed shoulders and a subtle confident posture. One hand is casually placed in his trouser pocket while the other hangs naturally beside his body. One leg is positioned slightly forward/down the slope, creating a relaxed asymmetrical stance.
He is looking slightly downward along the descending alley rather than directly at the camera. The pose should feel candid, effortless and stylish rather than like a heavily staged fashion shoot.
LOCATION — HISTORIC JAPAN:
A narrow traditional Japanese street in a historic town at twilight.
Dark wooden machiya townhouses line both sides of the alley, featuring traditional tiled roofs, wooden façades, paper parasols mounted against the walls and authentic architectural details.
The alley slopes downward into a descending stone staircase, creating strong leading lines through the composition.
The stone pavement and cobblestones are wet from recent rain, with realistic puddles and glossy reflections.
LIGHTING & ATMOSPHERE:
Moody overcast twilight weather with deep, dark atmospheric tones.
Warm crimson-red street lamps and traditional Japanese lanterns glow along the alley. Their warm orange and deep-red light creates realistic reflections across the wet cobblestones.
Subtle misty atmospheric depth is acceptable, but keep it physically realistic. No fantasy effects.
COMPOSITION:
Vertical portrait orientation, approximately 4:5.
Frame the complete body from head to shoes while maintaining enough surrounding architecture to establish the Japanese setting.
Camera positioned slightly higher than the subject and looking downward along the descending staircase alley, creating a natural elevated street-photography perspective.
Overhanging maple branches with dark green and subtle autumn-red leaves frame the upper-right corner of the image.
Use the descending staircase, rooftops and alley walls as natural leading lines toward the subject.
CAMERA:
Professional 35mm street-photography lens aesthetic.
Realistic perspective, natural depth of field, sharp focus on the person, detailed environmental textures and subtle realistic background falloff.
PHOTOGRAPHIC REALISM:
Make this look like a genuine photograph captured by a professional photographer in Japan at twilight.
Preserve realistic skin pores, individual hair strands, fabric texture, wet stone reflections, wood grain, roof tiles and natural environmental imperfections.
Use realistic dynamic range and subtle photographic grain. Avoid excessive sharpening or artificial HDR.
COLOR GRADING:
Cinematic but realistic moody color grading.
Deep charcoal and dark blue-gray environmental tones contrasted with warm crimson, orange and deep-red lantern illumination.
Keep skin tones natural and avoid an overly stylized color grade.
CRITICAL REALISM:
The final image must look like a real high-end 35mm street photograph taken in an actual historic Japanese town — NOT CGI, NOT an anime scene, NOT a digital painting and NOT an obvious AI-generated image.
Maintain physically accurate perspective, anatomy, hands, fingers, clothing, wet-surface reflections and lighting.
NEGATIVE PROMPT:
AI-generated appearance, CGI, 3D render, anime, illustration, generic face, altered identity, facial distortion, plastic skin, waxy skin, excessive beauty retouching, unrealistic anatomy, malformed hands, extra fingers, missing fingers, distorted legs, stiff pose, floating objects, warped architecture, impossible perspective, fake wet pavement, unrealistic reflections, excessive HDR, oversharpening, excessive blur, fake fog, neon fantasy lighting, oversaturated colors, duplicated objects, watermark, text artifacts.Copy the complete prompt and use your own reference photos where requested.
