Sun set

Here’s a polished prompt you can use for image generation:

Create an ultra-photorealistic, high-end cinematic lifestyle fashion photograph of a stylish young South Asian man standing on a beach during golden-hour sunset.

Use the uploaded reference image as the exact facial and appearance reference. Preserve his recognizable facial structure, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, jawline, beard, hairstyle, skin tone, facial proportions, and natural body proportions. Do not change, beautify, feminize, de-age, or replace his identity.

The man is standing in a relaxed three-quarter pose with his back partially turned toward the camera, looking naturally over his shoulder directly toward the viewer. His expression is calm, confident, slightly contemplative, and effortless.

He has naturally tousled, thick, slightly wavy black hair with a few loose strands around his forehead, a neatly maintained short beard and moustache, and realistic natural skin texture.

Clothing

- Premium lightweight off-white/ivory linen shirt
- Shirt slightly loose and naturally wrinkled, creating an authentic luxury-resort aesthetic
- Sleeves casually rolled up to the forearms
- Beige/taupe linen or cotton trousers
- Minimal styling, no visible logos, no accessories that distract from the subject
- Natural fabric texture with realistic folds and subtle translucency from the warm sunlight

Environment

A beautiful natural beach at sunset, with:

- Rolling ocean waves in the background
- Wet reflective sand in the foreground
- Warm golden sunlight reflecting across the water
- Large glowing sun positioned low near the horizon
- Dramatic layered clouds illuminated with warm orange, peach, amber, and soft pink tones
- Atmospheric coastal haze
- Subtle sea spray and realistic wave detail

Lighting & Photography

Use cinematic golden-hour backlighting with warm rim light outlining the man's hair, shoulders, and shirt. His face should remain naturally visible with soft balanced fill light and realistic skin tones.

Professional fashion-editorial photography, shot on a full-frame professional camera, 85mm portrait lens, shallow depth of field, natural bokeh, realistic optical compression, subtle lens flare, high dynamic range, accurate skin texture, detailed hair strands, realistic fabric fibers, natural shadows, physically accurate reflections, and cinematic tonal depth.

The final image should feel like an authentic luxury travel/fashion campaign photograph, not an AI-generated image.

Composition: vertical portrait, approximately 4:5 aspect ratio, subject occupying the central-left portion of the frame, ocean and glowing sunset clearly visible behind him, balanced negative space, elegant editorial framing.

Style: ultra-realistic photography, cinematic, sophisticated, premium luxury-resort editorial, natural color grading, realistic imperfections, highly detailed, photorealistic, 8K-quality detail.

Avoid: plastic skin, excessive beauty retouching, altered facial identity, distorted hands, extra fingers, warped anatomy, artificial hair, over-sharpening, cartoon appearance, CGI look, excessive HDR, unrealistic sunset colors, fake-looking waves, logos, text, watermark.
