Prompt template
Create an ultra-realistic travel portrait with a resort-lifestyle aesthetic, framed as a close-up selfie in a vertical 4:5 format, with 8K-level detail, hyperrealism, and a bright, sunny atmosphere.
Use the person in ${reference-photo} as the subject. Preserve her identity and facial features as closely as possible to the reference: facial proportions and geometry, eye spacing, chin and cheekbone shapes, placement of wrinkles and pores, skin tone, and hair color and texture. Give her a relaxed, confident, slightly playful expression with a faint smile, looking into the lens as if holding a phone at arm’s length.
Hair: ${hairstyle:wet-look hair or tousled beach waves, as if she has just come out of the water}. Place stylish oversized sunglasses on top of her head.
Makeup and skin: Minimal waterproof makeup, glowing tanned skin with a highlighter effect, and lightly glossy lips. Show water droplets on her face and collarbones.
Clothing and props: She wears ${swimsuit-style:a bikini or one-piece swimsuit} in ${swimsuit-color:deep emerald or terracotta}. Drape ${shoulder-covering:a sheer white linen shirt or a pareo} casually over her shoulders. In the foreground, partially in frame, show ${hand-prop:the edge of a smartphone or a cocktail glass} in her hand.
Setting: A luxurious resort pool, with blurred turquoise water, white sun loungers, palm greenery, and a vivid blue sky in the background.
Color palette: turquoise water; white loungers and cover-up; terracotta or emerald swimwear; golden-honey tan; bright blue sky.
Camera and composition: Smartphone front-camera selfie aesthetic with hyperrealistic detail. Use a slightly elevated selfie angle and focus on the face. Frame her from the shoulders up. Add a diagonal composition created by the tilt of her head and the line of a sun lounger. Emphasize tanned skin, damp hair, and the vivid summer background.
Lighting: Bright sunny daylight with backlighting that creates highlights in the hair and on the water. Add realistic dappled palm-leaf shadows across the face for a summery feel.
Detail: Render realistic water droplets on skin and hair, linen texture, reflections on the water and sunglasses, and tanned skin with visible pores, freckles, and natural microtexture. Avoid plastic-looking skin.
Negative prompt: plastic skin, airbrushed, cartoon, low-res, deformed hands, extra limbs, bad anatomy, indoor setting, winter clothes, heavy makeup, dry hair, flat lighting, dull colors, distorted phone, messy background, visible camera gear, stiff pose.
Use --ar 4:5 --style raw --v 6.0.
