About this prompt

A quick overview of what this prompt is designed to create.

A rugged, moody automotive-editorial portrait prompt with the subject leaning through a vintage off-road vehicle's window — tight framing, rich shadow, and cinematic detail, face preserved from your reference photo.

Prompt

Prompt
Use the uploaded [reference image] as the subject's exact face, likeness, hair, skin tone and any facial hair — do not alter these. Create a hyper-realistic, photorealistic image.

Subject: the subject from the [reference image] leaning through the open window of a vintage off-road vehicle, arms crossed and resting on the window frame, a few rings and a bracelet visible on the hands.
Pose: standing just outside the vehicle on the ground, body angled toward the open window, bent forward from the waist at roughly 30 degrees to duck his head and shoulders into the frame, forearms crossed one over the other and resting flat along the top of the window sill for support, weight settled onto the forearms so the shoulders round slightly forward, one shoulder dipped a touch lower than the other in a relaxed, unposed lean, head turned to look off to the side rather than at the camera, torso close enough to the door that the window frame crops him at the chest.
Wardrobe: a relaxed taupe button-up shirt with sleeves loose at the wrist.
Setting: tightly framed by the vehicle's window and door, warm tan leather interior and an orange steering wheel visible in the foreground, a dark brick wall in the soft-focus background.
Lighting: soft directional daylight raking across the face, rich moody shadow falloff.
Camera: tight framing shot directly through the window opening, shallow depth of field, 85mm lens look.
Mood: rugged, moody, automotive-editorial.

Rendering: ultra-detailed and razor-sharp, natural skin texture with visible pores and fine detail, realistic fabric weave and material reflections, true-to-life lighting and shadows, professional cinematic color grade, no distortion, no extra fingers, correct anatomy. Add a small, subtle, semi-transparent "nanopromptify.com" watermark in the bottom-right corner. Aspect ratio 3:2. Optimised for Gemini and ChatGPT / DALL·E (also works in Midjourney).
Parameters: --ar 3:2 --style raw --v 6 --stylize 250 --quality 2 --seed [insert seed] --iw [insert image weight 1-3 for the reference face] --no distortion, extra limbs, warped hands, text artifacts, visible logos or brand names, altered hair color, altered facial hair

Negative Prompt

Elements to avoid when generating the image.

distortion, extra limbs, warped hands, text artifacts, visible logos or brand names, altered hair color, altered facial hair

Style Notes

Additional guidance for achieving the intended visual style.

This prompt explicitly locks hair, facial hair, and skin tone from the reference — no reinterpretation allowed — so a clear, well-lit reference photo with visible hair/beard detail gives the most accurate result.
