Golden Hour Railing Portrait Prompt — Casual Lifestyle with Sunglasses

Create an ultra-photorealistic cinematic lifestyle portrait in a vertical 4:5 composition. Use the uploaded reference image strictly for the subject’s facial identity and recognizable facial structure only. Preserve the face shape, proportions, jawline, nose, lips, eyes, and natural skin characteristics accurately, but do not copy the reference image’s hairstyle, expression, pose, clothing, lighting, or environment. Recreate the hairstyle, expression, and overall visual character described below from the target image.

Composition & Pose: Frame the subject from approximately the waist/chest upward, positioned centrally with a slightly relaxed, natural stance behind a weathered metal railing. The torso faces mostly toward the camera with a subtle angle. Both forearms rest casually across the horizontal railing, creating a relaxed crossed-arm posture. One hand hangs naturally downward over the front of the railing with relaxed fingers, while the other hand rests loosely near the railing. Shoulders are relaxed and slightly rounded, conveying effortless confidence.

Head, Hair & Expression: The head is turned noticeably toward image-right in a three-quarter/profile direction and tilted slightly upward. The subject gazes upward and off into the distance rather than toward the camera. Expression is calm, thoughtful, confident, and quietly contemplative, with relaxed facial muscles and closed, naturally resting lips. Hair is short-to-medium length, thick, naturally curly/wavy, dark brown to black, with defined loose curls and slightly tousled volume, especially around the forehead and crown. Add dark, rounded oval sunglasses with glossy reflective lenses.

Clothing: Oversized beige/tan crew-neck sweatshirt with a soft, slightly textured fabric surface, relaxed fit, natural folds, and long sleeves extending toward the wrists. Keep the outfit minimal and casual.

Environment & Background: Bright, clear turquoise-cyan blue sky fills the background. Include an aged industrial metal railing with visible rust, scratches, weathering, and muted gray-brown tones. Add large out-of-focus vertical wooden/metal posts in the extreme foreground on both the left and right sides, plus a softly blurred foreground element along the bottom edge, creating strong depth and a natural framed-through-objects composition.

Lighting & Finish: Warm golden-hour sunlight illuminates the face, hair, sweatshirt, and railing from the side/front, producing soft warm highlights and gentle directional shadows. Maintain vivid cyan-blue sky against warm beige clothing and golden skin tones.
