Prompt template

Create a photorealistic editorial portrait of the person in the reference image, preserving their facial identity, skin tone, proportions, and natural features. Use a vertical 4:5 composition. Place the subject against a warm off-white studio background, with their body slightly turned and a calm, confident, androgynous expression.

Extend one open hand straight toward the camera, palm facing outward and extremely close to the lens, so it dominates most of the foreground. Let the naturally spread fingers partially block the face and torso. Keep the hand soft and heavily out of focus while the visible face remains crisp. Use an extremely shallow depth of field, realistic optical bokeh, a slightly low angle, and a close wide-lens perspective.

Dress the subject in an oversized black outfit, a black knit beanie, angular black sunglasses, and a red bandana tied at the neck. Use soft, diffused studio lighting, muted cinematic tones, natural skin texture, subtle film grain, and realistic detail. Avoid extra fingers and warped anatomy.
