Create an ultra-realistic professional travel photograph of a man whose facial details match the supplied reference photo exactly.

The man is sitting inside a modern mountain gondola cable car high above a spectacular mountainous landscape. Large, clear gondola windows reveal the enormous scenery and deep valley below.

POSE:
He sits casually near the window, with his body turned slightly toward the camera. One arm rests naturally on the window-side seat or armrest, while the other hand rests loosely on his thigh. One leg is slightly extended forward and the other remains relaxed, creating an effortless masculine posture. His head is turned toward the window as if admiring the breathtaking view below, and his expression is calm and confident. His wet, messy, short, straight hair falls across his forehead and temples. The pose should feel spontaneous, adventurous, and natural rather than staged.

OUTFIT:
A plain white T-shirt layered with a lightweight dark olive The North Face outdoor jacket, relaxed beige cargo shorts, clean white-and-gray sneakers, a stainless-steel wristwatch, and stylish sunglasses. Show natural fabric folds and realistic clothing texture.

LOCATION AND VIEW:
The gondola is suspended high above a dramatic mountain canyon with enormous rugged cliffs, steep green slopes, winding rivers, waterfalls, dense forests, and rocky valleys far below. The landscape should feel breathtakingly beautiful while also conveying a subtle sense of height and vertigo. Wisps of clouds and mountain mist drift through the canyon, creating layers of depth. Distant mountain ranges fade naturally into the horizon.

CAMERA AND COMPOSITION:
Use a vertical 9:16 composition, photographed from a high-angle 0.5x ultra-wide perspective positioned slightly above and close to the man inside the gondola. Use the wide perspective to capture both the subject and the massive canyon directly beneath the gondola. Let the gondola window frame create strong leading lines toward the valley, while keeping the man clearly recognizable in the foreground. Emphasize the gondola’s dramatic height without unnatural body distortion. Show a large portion of the terrifyingly deep yet beautiful landscape below, so the viewer immediately feels as if they are floating above the canyon.

LIGHTING:
Use natural, bright mountain daylight with soft atmospheric sunlight. Maintain balanced exposure, realistic shadows, natural skin tones, and subtle reflections on the gondola glass. Avoid excessive brightness or HDR.

PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE:
Ultra-realistic 0.5x smartphone travel photography, dramatic high-angle perspective, authentic spontaneous travel atmosphere, realistic glass reflections, detailed mountain textures, natural atmospheric depth, sharp subject, breathtaking environmental scale, and cinematic but believable colors. Photorealistic, 8K detail, with no artificial AI appearance. Vertical 9:16.
