Ultra-realistic 8K vertical 4:5 photograph, blue-hour dusk on a quiet Chennai side street. The man from the reference photo side-leans against the tank of a parked Royal Enfield, ankles crossed, arms folded easy across his chest, hands tucked and resting. Rolled-sleeve indigo checked shirt in visible twill weave over dark jeans, thin gold chain, small ear stud, retro dark sunglasses. His identity is carried by his exact facial features from the reference photo, expression freed: ONE calm, unbothered set of the mouth — mass aura, no hype needed. Discard the reference photo's lighting entirely: the sodium-vapour streetlight just ahead and to his right is the only key — its amber light strikes the right side of his face and jaw, the shadow slides across his left cheek, his skin takes on a burnt-orange sodium cast against the indigo dusk, and the exposure stays streetlamp-dim, never brighter than that single lamp could make it. True skin texture — pores, stubble along the jaw, stray hair flyaways; the tank's chrome catching the same amber. His head sized naturally against his shoulders — head and body in true natural proportion, exactly as a real camera would capture him. One consistent sodium-and-dusk light logic; subtle film grain, natural imperfections — a photograph, never a render. Framed three-quarter; the bike's wheels and the road stay soft, never the focus. Color story: sodium amber, dusk indigo, gunmetal chrome.

How to use this prompt

Select a high-quality reference photo of a man for facial details, ensuring the lighting mimics a sodium-vapour ambiance. The portrait should be shot in vertical format, capturing the subject's relaxed pose against a bike. Aim for a three-quarter frame with ambient dusk lighting, ensuring subtle shadows and skin texture are prominent. If the result appears too bright, adjust the exposure to reflect the dim streetlamp environment more accurately.
