Prompt Used
Portrait (waist-up vertical) of a man stepping out of an arch, left arm braced on the arch edge, right arm relaxed. He wears an ivory-cream embroidered kurta with vertical bead-placket, subtle tonal threadwork and light cream trousers visible at the hem. Tousled curly hair, trimmed beard, small pendant, simple wristwatch.
Background: blush-cream drapery, dense white blossom installation, hanging crystal chandeliers and a pale marble-like floor with soft veining.
Pose & expression: slight forward lean, chest open, shoulder angled to camera, head turned right, warm engaged smile, eyes looking slightly off-camera.
Lighting: soft diffused daylight from upper-left with warm frontal fill to preserve facial detail; gentle rim highlights on hair and shoulders; tiny specular glints on beadwork and crystals; soft natural shadows on floor.
Camera: vertical waist-up crop, slight low-to-eye-level angle, 50–85mm equivalent lens, aperture f/2.2–f/3.5 for shallow separation (background readable but softened), shutter >=1/125, low ISO. Focus sharp on eyes and embroidery.
Textures & details: resolve bead reflections, embroidery weave, fabric sheen, visible skin pores and beard stubble, individual hair strands, crystal highlights and soft bokeh on flowers.
Color & finish: warm-neutral cinematic grade, creamy whites preserved, rich midtones, muted shadows, subtle film grain, micro-contrast sharpening. Keep realism—no heavy smoothing or HDR.
Composition: subject slightly left of center, arch frames left, floral installation right, negative space above head; maintain readable background elements.
Avoid: extra people, over-retouching, color casts, blown-out highlights.
style: "editorial, cinematic, photorealistic, ultra-detailed"
