The complete prompt
> Create a highly realistic vertical 9:16 cinematic portrait using the uploaded image as the visual reference for composition, pose, styling, background, and overall aesthetic.
SUBJECT: Create the same young Indian man with natural facial proportions, short textured dark hair, neatly trimmed beard and mustache, and transparent rectangular eyeglasses. Preserve a realistic, authentic appearance with natural skin texture and subtle facial details.
POSE: The man is sitting casually on the floor in a relaxed pose, one knee raised and the other leg extended toward the camera. One arm rests naturally over the raised knee while the other hand rests casually near his thigh. He looks slightly upward and toward the side with a calm, thoughtful, confident expression.
OUTFIT: Minimal black oversized hoodie with natural fabric folds, light-gray relaxed-fit jeans, and clean white-and-gray Nike-style sneakers. Keep the clothing realistic and naturally fitted.
BACKGROUND: A large dramatic black-and-white hand-drawn pencil/charcoal portrait of the same man covers the wall behind him. The oversized sketch should closely echo his facial structure, hairstyle, beard, glasses, and expression. Add rough pencil strokes, cross-hatching, charcoal shading, sketch marks, and an artistic unfinished-wall texture.
FLOOR: Dark glossy reflective floor beneath him, producing a realistic soft reflection of his shoes, legs, and lower body.
LIGHTING: Moody studio-style directional lighting with soft highlights on the subject and gentle shadows. Slightly dark, cinematic atmosphere while maintaining clear facial detail.
PHOTOGRAPHY: Professional full-frame camera look, realistic depth of field, sharp focus on the man, subtle background falloff, natural skin pores, realistic hair strands, authentic fabric texture, cinematic tonal range, high dynamic range without excessive HDR.
STYLE: Photorealistic modern editorial portrait combined with an expressive monochrome pencil-art backdrop. The contrast between the realistic color subject and giant monochrome sketch should be the key visual element.
COMPOSITION: Keep the man centered in the lower portion of the frame with the oversized sketch dominating the upper background. Maintain the strong vertical composition and perspective of the reference image.
QUALITY: Ultra-realistic, highly detailed, 8K UHD, professional photography, realistic anatomy, accurate hands and fingers, believable glasses, natural facial proportions, realistic shadows and reflections.
NEGATIVE PROMPT: distorted face, altered facial proportions, plastic skin, excessive beauty retouching, cartoon subject, CGI appearance, blurry face, malformed hands, extra fingers, missing fingers, duplicated limbs, warped shoes, incorrect reflections, unnatural lighting, oversaturated colors, excessive sharpening, AI artifacts, low resolution.
ASPECT RATIO: STRICTLY 9:16.Copy the complete prompt and use your own reference photos where requested.
