Handsome Young Man in a White Shirt – Cinematic Lifestyle Portrait

Prompt template

Step 1: Upload your photo

Upload a clear, high-quality photo of yourself with your face fully visible and good lighting. A front-facing portrait works best.

Use your uploaded photograph as the facial reference so the AI preserves your exact facial identity, face shape, skin tone, hairstyle, and natural features while recreating the pose, outfit, and background of the reference image.

Step 2: Prompts

Subject and Facial Identity

Using the uploaded reference photo, create an ultra-photorealistic, high-resolution lifestyle portrait of the same young man sitting casually outdoors in a sophisticated modern setting.

Preserve his exact facial identity, face shape, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, jawline, skin tone, hairstyle, and natural facial proportions. Do not change his recognisable appearance or replace his face with another person.

Hairstyle and Expression

Give him naturally voluminous, thick, dark hair styled in a soft, tousled, slightly messy Korean-inspired hairstyle. His hair should have natural movement, layered texture, and gently falling strands across his forehead.

His expression should be calm, charming, and effortlessly confident, with a subtle closed-mouth smile. He looks directly into the camera with relaxed eyes, creating a sophisticated yet approachable appearance.

Outfit and Accessories

Dress him in a premium, crisp white button-down shirt made from soft, lightweight cotton fabric. The shirt should have a relaxed fit, an open collar with the top two buttons undone, and sleeves casually rolled up to the elbows.

Pair the shirt with elegant black tailored trousers. Add a minimalist black rectangular smartwatch with a dark strap and subtle metallic detailing on his left wrist.

Keep the styling minimal, clean, luxurious, and effortlessly fashionable.

Pose and Body Language

Position the young man sitting comfortably on a modern outdoor chair or terrace seating.

  • His upper body leans slightly toward the camera.
  • His left elbow rests naturally on a raised knee or armrest.
  • His left hand is gently placed near his chin and lips, with relaxed fingers.
  • His right arm rests casually across his lap.
  • His shoulders remain relaxed and slightly angled.
  • His head tilts subtly toward one side.

Capture a natural, candid moment that feels like a premium men's fashion editorial rather than a stiff studio pose.

Background and Environment

Set the portrait on a beautiful modern outdoor balcony or terrace during warm late-afternoon golden hour.

Include a large black-framed glass window or sliding door on one side, a clean cream-colored architectural wall behind him, and a few lush green plants near the window.

The background should be minimal, elegant, and softly blurred, with subtle natural reflections in the glass and a peaceful outdoor atmosphere.

Lighting and Photography

Use beautiful natural golden-hour sunlight falling softly across his face, hair, and white shirt. Create delicate highlights along his hair and shoulders, realistic facial shadows, and warm skin tones.

Use professional DSLR photography with an 85mm portrait lens, shallow depth of field, creamy background bokeh, high dynamic range, natural colour grading, and exceptional skin and fabric details.

Maintain realistic skin texture, fine facial details, natural hair strands, and authentic fabric folds.

Composition and Framing

  • Vertical 9:16 portrait composition.
  • Medium close-up to three-quarter seated portrait.
  • Subject positioned prominently in the centre.
  • Face clearly visible and sharply focused.
  • Hand resting near chin clearly visible.
  • White shirt and black trousers prominently displayed.
  • Modern balcony architecture and greenery softly visible in the background.
