Prompt template

Create a hyperrealistic, cinematic vertical photograph set in a real location in Istanbul, Turkey. Use the uploaded reference image to preserve the subject’s face, facial features, eye and body proportions, and identity.

A young woman with very long, thick, wavy black hair sits barefoot on the peak of a sloping tiled rooftop. She wears a long white dress with voluminous sleeves, its fabric and her hair blowing dramatically in the wind. She leans back with her arms spread and her face lifted toward the sky. Her expression is playfully fierce, with a barely visible, subtle smile. Makeup is light, with cat-eye liner on the upper lids, dusty-rose matte lipstick outlined with a slightly darker lip pencil, and a dewy highlighter. Give her skin a soft, velvety appearance, while retaining natural texture.

Numerous large seagulls fly at varying distances and heights around her. Some pass close to the camera, creating a strong foreground and a sense of depth. In the background, show a panoramic view of Istanbul and the Bosphorus: dense historic urban rooftops, water, distant hills, and exactly one mosque with a large dome and two slender minarets. Do not add extra mosques.

The sky is clear blue with soft pink-orange clouds. Set the scene at sunset during golden hour, with low sunlight near the horizon, warm amber light on the dress, skin, rooftops, and feathers, and long soft shadows. Keep the overall photograph somewhat darkened while retaining the warm light. Convey freedom, lightness, romance, and inspiration. Use a rich but natural palette that contrasts warm sunlight with cool blue sky.

Emphasize detailed textures in the fabric, roof tiles, stone architecture, feathers, and hair, with subtle wind-blown motion in the dress and hair. Use a vertical composition, a wide-angle 24–28 mm perspective, and a slightly low camera angle. Place the subject in the lower center; let the birds fill the upper half of the frame. Create deep perspective and natural depth of field.

Photorealistic, lifelike professional photography with the feel of an unfiltered iPhone 17 Pro Max image, incorporating Canon G7X and Fujifilm GFX 100 portrait-photography cues, a 100 mm lens, soft morning-light quality, and a Tyndall effect. Include visible eye capillaries, a highly detailed iris, pores and minor skin imperfections, subsurface scattering, slight image noise, and an unedited RAW-photo look. No beauty filter and no CGI. High detail, 8K-resolution appearance.

Negative prompt: extra mosques.
