Use the uploaded photo as the reference for the one adult person.

Moment or Pose: the adult stands on a safe terrace with a secure railing, looking at the camera with a gentle smile; skyline visible behind. Clothing: a tailored black blazer over a cream shirt. Light: city glow with soft light on the face, realistic night shadows. Camera: 50mm, f/1.8, eye level, medium portrait, colourful bokeh. Style: photorealistic urban night photography. Format: vertical 4:5. Avoid: changed faces, skin lightening, extra fingers, text, logos, watermarks, extra people, recognisable landmarks, leaning over the railing, heavy neon effects, alcohol, numbers.
