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: an old railway platform with iron pillars, a train rushing past behind the person as a smear of colour. Pose: standing with a bag on one shoulder, looking down the platform, hair moved by the wind. Clothing: the outfit from the photo. Light: soft afternoon light under the platform roof. Style: cinematic travel still, the person sharp, the train strongly motion-blurred, muted film colours. Format: horizontal 3:2 Avoid: blurring the person, changing the face or identity, skin lightening, railway logos, readable signs, extra fingers, text, watermarks.
Customise
For example: an old railway platform with iron pillars.
For example: a bag on one shoulder.
