Create an extremely photorealistic 9:16 vertical photograph that looks like an authentic candid photo taken by a professional photographer, NOT an AI-generated image.

A real young man is standing casually on a modern rooftop overlooking a city during sunset. He is wearing a simple charcoal-black overshirt over a plain white T-shirt, dark trousers, clean white sneakers, and a minimal silver wristwatch.

His pose should feel completely natural and effortless. One hand is casually inside his trouser pocket while the other rests naturally near the glass railing. He is looking slightly away from the camera with a relaxed, confident expression, as if the photographer captured the moment without asking him to pose.

REAL-PHOTO REQUIREMENTS

Use true-to-life human anatomy and proportions. The face must have natural asymmetry, realistic pores, tiny skin imperfections, subtle facial texture, individual hair strands, realistic eyebrows, natural lips, and authentic eyes. Do NOT make the skin perfectly smooth or artificially beautiful.

Hands and fingers must be anatomically correct and naturally positioned. Clothing must have realistic folds, wrinkles, stitching, fabric texture and natural shadows.

The lighting must behave exactly like real physical light. Use natural golden-hour sunlight mixed with realistic ambient city light. Include subtle lens flare and realistic exposure falloff, but avoid exaggerated cinematic effects.

CAMERA

Shot on a professional full-frame DSLR/mirrorless camera with an 85mm prime lens, approximately f/2.0, ISO 100–400, realistic shutter speed.

Natural optical depth of field, realistic bokeh, subtle lens characteristics, realistic focus transition, slight natural photographic grain and authentic dynamic range.

The subject's face and clothing should be sharply focused while the distant city gradually becomes softly blurred.

ENVIRONMENT

A real modern rooftop with a glass railing, concrete flooring, subtle architectural details and a believable city skyline in the background.

Buildings should have realistic windows, reflections, perspective and slight atmospheric haze. Distant traffic should appear naturally blurred rather than looking like artificial light trails.

The sunset sky should look like a real photograph: natural clouds, realistic color transitions and slightly imperfect exposure.

PHOTOGRAPHIC STYLE

Professional street-fashion/editorial photography, but still believable as an actual photograph taken in real life.

Natural colors, realistic white balance, restrained contrast, subtle shadows, realistic skin tones, physically accurate reflections and authentic photographic texture.

No excessive HDR.
No dramatic fake lighting.
No perfect symmetry.
No plastic skin.
No beauty-filter effect.
No CGI appearance.
No overly sharp AI details.

The final image should look like it was actually photographed with a high-end camera, not digitally rendered.

Composition: full-body portrait, vertical 9:16, natural perspective, subject slightly off-center, enough environmental context around him, realistic camera distance.

Quality: ultra-high-resolution professional photograph, but retain natural photographic imperfections and texture.

Negative prompt: AI-generated look, CGI, 3D render, illustration, cartoon, anime, plastic skin, airbrushed face, excessive beauty retouching, unnatural eyes, symmetrical face, fake pores, distorted hands, extra fingers, malformed fingers, unrealistic hair, floating objects, warped architecture, oversaturated colors, excessive HDR, excessive sharpness, fake bokeh, fake lens flare, unrealistic shadows, unnatural reflections, text, watermark.
