Prompt
Use the uploaded photo as the reference for the person's hair, build, natural skin tone and style. The face will be hidden on purpose, but keep the hairline, body proportions and visible skin tone true to the photo; check the result against the reference. Scene: the person seen from behind, standing at the edge of a hill looking over misty valleys. Pose: back to the camera, hands relaxed or in pockets, head turned toward the view. Clothing: the outfit from the photo, with the hair exactly as in the photo. Light: soft early-morning light falling on the scene ahead, gentle rim light on the shoulders. Style: calm, cinematic travel photograph, natural colours, person small enough to show the view. Format: vertical 4:5 Avoid: turning the face toward the camera, changing hair colour or length, changing build, skin lightening, extra limbs, text, logos, watermarks.
Customise
For example: the edge of a hill looking over misty valleys.
For example: soft early-morning light.
