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 tall waterfall pouring into a turquoise pool in a dense tropical forest, in the Western Ghats during monsoon, mossy rocks, ferns and hanging vines, fine spray in the air. Moment or Pose: standing on a wet boulder in the foreground, arms open or one hand shielding the eyes from the spray, face towards the camera. Clothing: a quick-dry olive shirt and hiking sandals. Light: overcast soft daylight filtering through the canopy, a faint rainbow in the mist. Camera: 24mm lens, subject at one-third of the frame, slightly slower shutter so the water looks silky. Style: natural travel photograph, deep greens, realistic water. Format: vertical 4:5 Avoid: changed face, plastic skin, extra limbs, floating subject, fake-looking water, oversaturated greens, text, watermarks.
Customise
For example: in the Western Ghats during monsoon.
