Create an ultra-realistic vertical 4:5 fashion photograph. Use the uploaded reference photograph to reproduce its composition, body positioning, camera angle, clothing structure, environment, and lighting. Use the user’s reference photo to preserve their exact facial identity, facial proportions, natural skin tone, and distinctive features. Do not reshape, beautify, or modify the face. Preserve realistic skin texture, visible pores, and natural imperfections.
## Scene and architecture
Place the subject on an urban exterior staircase beside a building clad in warm brown, speckled granite panels. Black painted metal railings form strong diagonal lines behind the subject, with vertical bars, angled handrails, and small decorative finials. Include a dark doorway or recessed entrance in the upper-right background.
Make the architecture feel authentic, understated, and slightly industrial, with contrasting textures between polished stone, matte black metal, and dark clothing. Keep the background recognizable and naturally detailed without distracting from the subject.
## Pose and composition
The subject stands leaning back against the granite wall on the right side of the frame. The upper back and one shoulder make gentle contact with the wall, while the torso remains upright with a subtle, relaxed lean.
Photograph the body in three-quarter side profile, with the chest angled slightly toward the camera and the head turned distinctly to the left. Show the face almost entirely in profile, with the nose pointing toward the left edge of the image. Keep the chin level, the neck naturally elongated, and the gaze directed into the distance rather than toward the camera.
The arm nearest the railing bends comfortably at the elbow, holding a pair of sunglasses at approximately waist-to-lower-chest height. The hand is relaxed, with the fingers naturally wrapped around the folded frame and the temples pointing upward. Keep the sunglasses clearly visible and the grip anatomically consistent.
The opposite arm rests close to the body, with the hand tucked casually into the front trouser pocket. Keep the shoulders relaxed and wrists natural. The posture should convey quiet confidence without stiffness.
Frame the subject from the top of the head to the upper thighs, preserving the visible hand, sunglasses, waistband, and trouser details. Use a medium portrait composition rather than a close-up. The subject occupies the central-right portion of the frame, while the black railings and granite wall remain visible around the silhouette. Preserve the spatial relationship between the subject, wall, and staircase.
## Expression and gaze
Maintain a composed, thoughtful expression with relaxed lips and a subtle sense of confidence. Keep the brow neutral, the jaw relaxed, and the eyes focused on something outside the frame to the left. The expression should feel candid, contemplative, and editorial rather than posed or overtly dramatic. Preserve the natural facial anatomy and precise side-profile silhouette from the reference.
## Hair and facial hair
Preserve the hair and facial-hair appearance from the user’s reference without specifying a particular hair color, hairstyle, haircut, or beard type. Maintain realistic individual strands and natural texture.
## Wardrobe
Dress the subject in a fitted black, long-sleeved ribbed knit polo shirt. The garment has a structured traditional polo collar, a short front zipper extending from the neckline to the upper chest, and a small metallic zipper pull. The zipper is partially open, creating a modest natural opening at the collar without exaggerated exposure.
The fabric features fine, vertically aligned ribbing that remains visible across the chest, abdomen, and sleeves. The shirt fits close to the body while retaining realistic fabric tension, subtle folds around the waist, and natural creases at the elbows.
Pair the top with tailored black trousers featuring a clean waistband, belt loops, discreet front pleats or pressed shaping, and a narrow black belt with a small rectangular metallic buckle. The trousers have a structured, refined silhouette.
The entire outfit should feel modern, minimalist, gender-neutral, and sophisticated, with clean lines and no logos, graphics, or decorative prints.
## Accessories
The subject holds black or dark tortoiseshell sunglasses with slim, refined frames and dark lenses. The glasses are folded or partially open, with both temples visibly distinguishable and naturally oriented upward in the hand.
Include a simple silver-tone chain necklace, mostly concealed beneath the partially unzipped collar. Add a discreet silver-tone ring and a minimal metal bracelet, keeping all accessories understated and neutral.
No tattoos, makeup, feminine accessories, or additional jewelry.
## Camera distance and angle
Photograph the subject from approximately 1.8–2.5 meters away, using a natural portrait perspective. Position the camera around upper-torso height, with the lens aimed almost horizontally and a slight upward adjustment if needed to retain the head and upper-body proportions.
Avoid excessive wide-angle distortion. Keep the head, shoulders, torso, and hands proportionate, with realistic perspective and natural body geometry.
## Lighting and color grading
Use soft natural outdoor daylight, with gentle directional illumination across the face, hair, and textured knit fabric. The granite wall should retain its warm brown and reddish mineral tones, while the black railings and clothing remain deep and detailed rather than crushed into featureless shadows.
Apply a refined editorial color grade with neutral skin tones, warm stone textures, deep blacks, restrained contrast, and subtle film-like grain. Preserve realistic highlights on the metal zipper, bracelet, necklace, and sunglasses.
Use natural shadow transitions, realistic microcontrast, and restrained sharpening. Avoid excessive HDR, artificial glow, heavy vignetting, or oversaturated colors.
## Camera and technical settings
- Camera: full-frame professional mirrorless camera
- Lens: 50 mm prime lens
- Aperture: f/4
- Shutter speed: 1/250 s
- ISO: 100–200
- White balance: approximately 5200 K

## Negative prompt
No tattoos, feminine clothing, makeup, logos, graphic prints, extra accessories, duplicated sunglasses, malformed fingers, distorted hands, altered facial identity, exaggerated musculature, unnatural posture, incorrect zipper placement, missing polo collar, missing belt buckle, artificial skin smoothing, plastic textures, excessive background blur, illustration, CGI, text, or watermark.
The final result should be a highly realistic, understated urban fashion portrait that faithfully reproduces the reference’s side profile, relaxed wall-leaning pose, sunglasses held in one hand, black ribbed zip-neck polo, tailored trousers, granite architecture, and diagonal black railings.
