Prompt for AI Image Generation

PROMPT.TXT

A stunningly realistic cinematic portrait of a young man sitting casually in a warm, golden, sunny setting. The lighting casts vibrant, natural shadows of tropical foliage across the background, some cascading over his shoulders and face. The backdrop is a smooth, rich mustard-yellow wall with soft, artistic, foliage-like shadows that add depth and sophisticated summer charm. The man has the same facial features and hairstyle as in the reference image, with his facial hair neatly styled. He wears a white knit sweater with long sleeves featuring realistic woven details, soft, natural pleats, and warm, sun-inspired touches. He also wears black trousers with a relaxed, modern fit. He sits slightly hunched forward, his hands clasped at chest level, giving him a confident and relaxed posture. On his wrist is a luxurious gold watch with a white dial and realistic metallic reflections. Use my attached image to match the face to the scene with 100.999% accuracy.

Deconstructing the Prompt: Creating Golden-Hour Magic

This prompt masterfully combines lighting, color, and texture to build a compelling scene. Here's how it works:

• The Lighting & Shadows: The core of this prompt is the "warm, golden, sunny setting" and the "vibrant, natural shadows of tropical foliage." This creates a dynamic, high-contrast look known as "dappled light," which is visually rich and cinematic.
• The Color Palette: The "rich mustard-yellow wall" provides a bold, warm backdrop that complements the golden light and contrasts beautifully with the "white knit sweater" and "black trousers."
• Texture & Detail: The prompt emphasizes realistic textures, from the "woven details" and "natural pleats" of the sweater to the "metallic reflections" of the gold watch, adding a layer of high-quality realism.
• Pose & Mood: The "slightly hunched forward" pose with "hands clasped" conveys a "confident and relaxed posture," perfectly matching the sophisticated summer vibe.
• Extreme Personalization: The instruction for "100.999% accuracy" in matching the face from the reference image is a powerful directive for AI tools with strong face-swap capabilities, ensuring a highly personalized result.

Tips for Best Results

To get the most stunning and accurate result with this prompt:

• AI Tool Selection: This prompt is optimized for high-end AI image generators that excel at photorealism and support image-to-image or face-reference features (like Midjourney with `--cref`).
• Reference Photo Quality: Use a high-resolution reference photo with clear, even lighting on the face. This will help the AI accurately map the features into the new, dramatic lighting condition.
• Aspect Ratio: For a portrait that includes the upper body and hands, a vertical aspect ratio like `--ar 4:5` or `--ar 2:3` is ideal.
