The complete prompt
IDENTITY REFERENCE — ABSOLUTE HIGHEST PRIORITY:
Use the newly uploaded photograph as the ONLY source for the person’s identity. Replace the original model with the uploaded person while recreating the reference image’s composition, standing pose, head angle, hairstyle, sunglasses, clothing, accessories, architectural background, lighting, colour grading, camera perspective and depth of field as precisely as possible.
Preserve the uploaded person’s exact recognizable identity and natural facial anatomy: apparent age, natural skin tone, face shape, forehead, natural hairline, eyebrow shape and spacing, eye shape and spacing, nose bridge, nose length, nose tip, nostrils, cheeks, cheekbones, lips, ears, jaw width, jaw angle, chin, moustache, beard pattern and every natural facial proportion.
The finished person must remain immediately recognizable as the uploaded individual. Do not copy the reference model’s facial features. Do not blend the uploaded identity with another person. Do not create a generic replacement face. Do not beautify excessively, lighten or darken the skin, sharpen the jaw, enlarge the eyes, alter the nose, change the lips, modify the facial-hair pattern or change the person’s apparent age.
Ignore the uploaded photograph’s original clothing, hairstyle, glasses, accessories, pose, expression, lighting, camera angle and background. Use the uploaded photograph only for the person’s exact identity and natural facial details.
REFERENCE RECREATION:
Create an ultra-realistic vertical 2:3 cinematic urban street-fashion portrait of the uploaded person standing confidently outside a large modern white-grey office building.
Recreate the reference image’s visual arrangement extremely closely:
• Show exactly one person from the head down to approximately the knees or lower thighs.
• Position the person in the lower-middle area, slightly toward the viewer’s right.
• Keep a large amount of architectural negative space above and around the person.
• The person must occupy approximately the lower half of the frame.
• Keep the modern building filling the entire background.
• Use a noticeably low camera angle looking slightly upward.
• Keep the body facing mostly toward the camera with a subtle three-quarter turn.
• Shift the body weight naturally onto one leg.
• Keep the shoulders relaxed and slightly uneven.
• Place both hands casually inside the front trouser pockets.
• Allow both elbows to angle naturally outward.
• Turn the head toward the viewer’s left.
• Raise the chin slightly and direct the gaze confidently into the distance toward the viewer’s left.
• Do not make the person look directly into the camera.
• Maintain a composed, serious and effortlessly confident expression.
• Keep the lips naturally closed with no visible teeth.
BODY AND HAND POSE:
Recreate the reference’s relaxed standing posture. The torso must remain upright with a slight natural lean, while the hips stay subtly angled.
Both hands must be inserted naturally into the front side pockets of the trousers. Show only the small visible portions of the wrists, thumbs or upper hands near the pocket openings. Do not show the hands hanging outside the pockets.
Maintain realistic shoulder width, arm length, elbow position, wrist angle and body proportions. Use a naturally fit, lean physique without exaggerated muscles.
Generate exactly two arms and two hands. Do not create extra fingers, extra arms, duplicate hands, malformed wrists or hands incorrectly merging with the pockets.
HEAD ANGLE AND EXPRESSION:
The head must be turned approximately 25–35 degrees toward the viewer’s left, matching the reference. Keep the face visible in a natural three-quarter view.
Tilt the chin slightly upward to produce a calm, self-assured urban-fashion attitude. The jaw must remain relaxed and the mouth gently closed.
Preserve the uploaded person’s natural facial proportions and facial-hair pattern even though part of the eye area is covered by sunglasses.
HAIRSTYLE:
Give the person a neat modern short haircut matching the reference:
• Closely trimmed sides with a subtle clean fade.
• Short, evenly textured hair on top.
• A clean, natural hairline.
• Slight texture without long curls, long bangs or excessive volume.
• Natural deep-brown or black hair colour.
Keep the uploaded person’s original hairline anatomically believable. Do not change the face to resemble the reference model.
SUNGLASSES:
Add one pair of premium black rectangular fashion sunglasses matching the reference.
The sunglasses must have:
• Wide horizontally rectangular lenses.
• Thick angular black frames.
• Dark nearly opaque black lenses.
• Straight black temples.
• A clean modern luxury streetwear appearance.
Fit the sunglasses realistically on the nose and ears according to the exact head angle. Maintain correct perspective, symmetry and subtle natural reflections on the lenses.
Do not use round glasses, aviators, transparent lenses, coloured lenses, thin metal frames or oversized goggles.
CLOTHING — UPPER BODY:
Dress the person in an oversized plain black crew-neck sweatshirt.
The sweatshirt must have:
• A relaxed drop-shoulder fit.
• Long loose sleeves ending naturally at the wrists.
• A simple ribbed round neckline.
• Ribbed sleeve cuffs and lower hem.
• Soft premium cotton-fleece texture.
• Natural folds around the shoulders, chest, elbows and waist.
• No hood, zipper, pockets, graphics, branding or text.
Under the black sweatshirt, add a plain white longline T-shirt. Only its clean white lower hem should remain visible beneath the sweatshirt, forming a narrow horizontal white layer around the waist.
The white T-shirt must not cover the black sweatshirt or appear as a large front panel.
CLOTHING — LOWER BODY:
Dress the person in relaxed black straight-leg trousers with a clean contemporary streetwear fit.
The trousers must have:
• A medium-to-loose fit.
• A smooth matte-black fabric.
• Natural folds around the hips and upper legs.
• Two functional front side pockets containing the hands.
• No ripped fabric, patterns, visible branding or bright stitching.
Keep the trousers distinctly separate from the sweatshirt while preserving the monochrome black styling.
CHAIN ACCESSORY:
Add a polished silver double wallet chain attached to the waistband or belt loop on the viewer’s right side of the trousers.
The chain must:
• Form two short curved silver loops.
• Hang naturally across the upper pocket area.
• Have realistic metallic highlights and individual chain links.
• Remain a subtle accessory rather than a dominant element.
Do not add oversized chains, neck chains, jewellery collections or multiple unrelated accessories.
OPTIONAL WRIST DETAIL:
A small dark wristwatch or minimal bracelet may be partially visible near the viewer-right pocket opening, exactly as a subtle detail. It must not become visually prominent.
ARCHITECTURAL BACKGROUND:
Create a large modern white-grey stone or concrete office building filling the entire background.
Recreate these architectural details:
• Tall vertical structural columns or recessed grooves.
• A repeating grid of dark rectangular windows.
• Light grey-white stone or concrete panels.
• Strong vertical lines extending upward.
• Low-angle perspective causing the building lines to converge subtly toward the top.
• Some windows showing a few soft warm interior ceiling lights.
• A dark base section near the ground at the bottom of the frame.
The building must appear close behind the person but remain softly out of focus. It should feel modern, premium, minimal and metropolitan.
Do not add trees, vehicles, crowds, street signs, advertisements, balconies, colourful buildings or distracting objects.
COMPOSITION AND NEGATIVE SPACE:
Preserve the reference’s generous negative space. The building must dominate the upper two-thirds of the image while the person remains positioned lower in the frame.
Do not enlarge the person into a close-up. Do not crop the head, shoulders or chain. Keep enough space above the head to show the tall architectural environment.
The repeating windows and vertical columns should create strong visual depth without overpowering the subject.
LIGHTING AND COLOUR:
Use soft diffused overcast daylight with a moody urban atmosphere.
Add:
• Gentle even illumination across the face.
• Soft highlights along the sunglasses, cheekbones and shoulders.
• Natural subtle shadows beneath the jaw and sweatshirt folds.
• Slightly brighter light from the upper-left/front direction.
• Realistic separation between the black outfit and grey background.
Use a desaturated cinematic colour grade dominated by charcoal black, cool grey, off-white and muted natural skin tones.
Keep the uploaded person’s exact natural skin tone. Do not create heavy orange skin, blue skin, harsh contrast, deep crushed shadows, artificial neon light or dramatic coloured lighting.
CAMERA AND DEPTH OF FIELD:
Photograph the scene from a low position using a professional full-frame camera with an 85mm portrait lens at approximately f/2 to f/2.8.
Keep the face, sunglasses and outfit sharply focused. Render the building windows and columns with a smooth moderate blur while maintaining enough recognizable architectural detail.
Use realistic optical depth of field, slight background compression and subtle natural lens rendering. Do not create extreme fisheye distortion or unnaturally tilted architecture.
IMAGE QUALITY:
Ultra-photorealistic premium urban fashion photography, authentic skin pores, natural facial texture, detailed hair strands, accurate facial hair, realistic fabric fibres, believable clothing folds, sharp sunglasses, realistic silver chain reflections, physically accurate lighting, high dynamic range, subtle cinematic softness and professional editorial colour grading.
FINAL COMPOSITION LOCK:
The final output must closely match the reference image’s complete arrangement:
• Vertical 2:3 frame.
• One person shown approximCopy the complete prompt and use your own reference photos where requested.
