and defaults below.
## Main prompt
Create an ultra-photorealistic photograph featuring the adult male model from the uploaded face reference. Preserve his recognizable facial identity, facial structure, natural skin tone, and distinctive features. Recreate an extreme low-angle perspective, a casual coffee-drinking moment, an oversized drink in the foreground, and a spontaneous smartphone-camera aesthetic, with a vivid blue sky filled with soft white clouds.
The final image must look like a genuine, casually captured smartphone photo, not an AI-generated fashion editorial.
### Model and pilot uniform
Give the model a masculine appearance, naturally styled dark hair, and realistic facial proportions. Dress him in a smart, fitted commercial pilot uniform with a clean, modern aviation aesthetic:
- A tailored white pilot shirt fitted neatly across the shoulders, chest, and arms.
- Dark navy shoulder epaulettes with subtle gold stripes.
- A slim, neatly knotted dark navy tie.
- A small aviation-style metal wing pin on the chest.
- Realistic buttons, stitching, collar structure, and natural fabric creases.
The shirt should follow the body's natural shape without looking skin-tight. Keep the silhouette sharp, professional, masculine, and well-fitted. Preserve the reference model's exact facial identity. Do not alter his face or make his appearance overly polished.
Add a clean rectangular name tag reading ${name-tag:TEMMY}.
### Pose and expression
Recreate the original low-angle selfie composition. The model holds a large clear plastic cup close to the camera with one hand, bringing a black straw to his slightly parted lips as he takes a sip. His head tilts slightly downward toward the lens. His eyes look casually into the camera with a calm, relaxed, subtly confident expression. Keep the other arm mostly outside the frame.
The pose should feel spontaneous, as if a pilot is grabbing an iced coffee before heading to work.
### Drink: black iced Americano
Replace the original milky drink with a black iced Americano in a large transparent takeaway cup. Include deep, rich black-brown coffee, clearly visible ice cubes, natural condensation droplets, a transparent plastic lid, and a simple black drinking straw. Add realistic reflections and subtle refraction through the plastic. The cup should dominate the right foreground, appearing enlarged because it is held close to the wide-angle camera.
### Fun sticker design
Add a playful white printed sticker to the front of the cup. The sticker features a quirky, minimalist illustration with tiny doodles, irregular stars, a sleepy cartoon coffee bean, and hand-drawn decorative lines. Include this humorous quote in playful lettering: “SURVIVING TODAY ON ICE & BAD DECISIONS.”
The sticker should look physically printed and attached to the cup, following its curved surface naturally. Keep the design fun, slightly absurd, and visually clean without making the cup look like a commercial product advertisement. Ensure the sticker remains readable and does not obscure the black coffee or ice.
### Background: blue sky and white clouds
Make the background primarily an expansive, naturally vivid blue sky scattered with soft white cumulus clouds. Use realistic variations in blue, gentle cloud shadows, and bright daylight. The sky should feel open, fresh, and airy. Avoid distracting buildings, airport signs, aircraft, or other unnecessary objects. The main visual elements are the model, fitted pilot uniform, iced Americano, and sky.
### Camera and composition
- Aspect ratio: vertical 4:5.
- Framing: tight medium close-up, from the upper chest to the top of the head.
- Camera angle: extreme low angle, as if a smartphone is held near chest or waist height and pointed upward.
- Lens: 24–28mm smartphone wide-angle equivalent.
- Perspective: the cup and hand appear enlarged in the foreground.
- Composition: face near the upper center; drink prominent on the right; fitted uniform and tie filling the lower frame.
- Focus: face, hand, straw, cup, and name tag clearly visible.
Preserve the casual, slightly exaggerated perspective of the original reference photograph.
### Lighting and photographic realism
Use bright natural daylight with soft cloud-filtered illumination. Maintain realistic highlights on the face and hands, natural shadows beneath the chin, and visible fabric texture across the fitted uniform. The plastic cup should have believable reflections, condensation, and ice detail. The white sticker must appear naturally integrated into the cup's surface.
Simulate a real smartphone camera with subtle sharpening, natural contrast, realistic skin texture, and slightly imperfect exposure. Avoid excessive HDR, artificial skin smoothing, dramatic cinematic lighting, and synthetic background blur.
### Strict negative prompt
Different facial identity, altered facial features, oversized loose shirt, casual untucked shirt, inaccurate pilot uniform, excessive military decorations, unreadable name tag, incorrect name spelling, milk coffee, latte, cappuccino, brown creamy drink, opaque cup, floating ice, distorted fingers, malformed hands, oversized straw, unreadable sticker, excessive text, artificial clouds, gray sky, sunset, oversaturated blue, plastic skin, excessive retouching, CGI, 3D rendering, illustration, watermark.
### Final generation instruction
Generate a vertical 4:5 ultra-realistic smartphone photograph of the adult male model from the uploaded face reference, wearing a sharp, fitted white commercial pilot shirt with navy-and-gold shoulder epaulettes, a dark navy tie, a small aviation wing pin, and a replaceable name tag reading ${name-tag:TEMMY}.
He holds a large clear cup of black iced Americano close to the camera and drinks through a black straw while looking toward the lens. Add a fun white sticker with quirky doodles and the quote “SURVIVING TODAY ON ICE & BAD DECISIONS.” Change the background to a rich blue sky with soft white clouds.
Priority: preserve the original low-angle perspective, recognizable face, fitted pilot uniform, enlarged black iced Americano, playful sticker, and authentic smartphone-photo quality.
