Prompt
Use the uploaded photo as the reference for the person. Preserve their recognisable face, natural skin tone, hairline and body proportions as closely as the model permits; check the result against the reference. Scene: a windswept Himalayan viewpoint at about 4,500 metres, strings of faded red, yellow, green, blue and white prayer flags stretched across the frame, snow-capped peaks and a deep valley behind. Moment or Pose: standing at the edge of a stone cairn, one hand holding a flag line, looking out at the peaks with a relaxed, slightly windblown expression. Clothing: a rust-orange down jacket, woollen beanie and trekking pants, hair moving in the wind. Light: crisp late-morning sun, deep blue sky, thin clouds drifting below the summits. Camera: 24mm wide lens from a slightly low angle, flags soft in the foreground, sharp focus on the face. Style: natural travel photograph, true-to-life colours, fine mountain haze. Format: vertical 4:5 Avoid: changed face, plastic skin, extra fingers, readable text on flags, duplicated people, oversaturated sky, watermarks.
