Prompt template

Use the uploaded reference image as the only identity source for the adult male subject. Preserve his recognizable facial identity with very high fidelity, including facial proportions, face shape, jawline, cheekbones, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, ears, hairstyle, hairline, skin tone, natural age, and overall body proportions. Do not redesign, beautify, feminize, masculinize, age, de-age, or alter his facial identity.

Create an ultra-photorealistic casual smartphone photograph of the same adult man standing shirtless inside a compact, modern bathroom shower. Give him a naturally athletic, lean-muscular physique with realistic chest, shoulders, arms, abdomen, and torso proportions. Show naturally textured skin with visible pores, subtle imperfections, realistic tonal variation, and numerous small water droplets across his shoulders, chest, and upper body.

He stands upright and faces the camera directly with a relaxed, slightly serious neutral expression. Tilt his head subtly to one side for a natural candid feeling. His arms hang naturally beside his body; avoid an exaggerated bodybuilding pose. He wears black rectangular eyeglasses with transparent lenses and subtle reflections. His short black hair is slightly messy and naturally damp, with individual strands visible.

Set the scene in a small, warm-toned shower enclosure with beige or tan ceramic wall tiles and realistic grout lines. Behind him, show a modern chrome rainfall shower system with a large round overhead shower head, a smaller handheld shower head mounted vertically, and a chrome mixer and rail visible behind his shoulders. On the right side of the frame, include a small metal shower shelf with several ordinary shampoo and body-wash bottles. Include a small decorative ventilation panel in the bathroom ceiling. The room should feel lived-in, not like a luxury showroom.

Use warm indoor bathroom lighting of approximately 3000–3500K, producing soft amber illumination across his face and body. Let realistic shadows fall naturally across the tiled wall. Add subtle highlights on the chrome fixtures and water droplets.

Photograph it as an authentic high-end smartphone image in vertical composition, approximately 4:5 aspect ratio. Position the camera around chest-to-eye level, slightly close to the subject, with natural smartphone perspective and no extreme wide-angle distortion. Use a centered medium-to-medium-full portrait composition: keep the head fully visible, show the shoulders and upper torso clearly, and let the bathroom environment frame him naturally.

Aim for ultra-realistic skin texture, realistic anatomy, physically accurate reflections, authentic water droplets, subtle lens imperfections, natural exposure, realistic dynamic range, fine photographic detail, HDR-like tonal latitude, and cinematic but believable color grading. The overall style is a candid personal photograph: a realistic everyday moment, documentary photography, photorealistic, RAW photo quality, extremely detailed, and natural in appearance.
