GPT Image 2 Prompt
Ultra-realistic luxury editorial portrait of a handsome young man (FACE GIVEN IN REFERENCE IMAGE) standing on a Mediterranean-style seaside terrace during golden hour sunset, leaning casually against a dark wooden railing. He has thick, voluminous, messy dark brown hair with natural texture, a defined jawline with light stubble, warm olive skin, and a calm, confident expression. Wearing minimalist rectangular black sunglasses with thin silver metal frames, an oversized light sky-blue linen button-up shirt with the top 3–4 buttons undone exposing part of the chest, sleeves casually rolled to the forearms, off-white linen trousers, a black leather strap luxury wristwatch, a delicate silver necklace with a tiny pendant, and a subtle bracelet. Background features a breathtaking coastal landscape with sparkling blue sea, dramatic mountains fading into atmospheric haze, elegant white Mediterranean villas along the cliffs, vibrant pink bougainvillea flowers surrounding the terrace, and a warm lantern mounted on the wooden post. The sun is setting low over the horizon, creating golden reflections across the ocean, soft orange and peach clouds, warm rim lighting around the subject, and cinematic depth. Pose is relaxed with one hand in the pocket and the other resting naturally on the railing, body slightly angled while looking away from the camera. Natural wind gently lifts the hair and shirt fabric. Premium resort lifestyle aesthetic, sophisticated vacation mood, effortless luxury.

Pro Tips
Lead with identity lock ('FACE GIVEN IN REFERENCE IMAGE') then golden-hour scene + pose ('looking away from the camera', 'one hand in pocket') — candid travel editorials fail when the subject stares at lens. Layer linen outfit details and Mediterranean backdrop elements (bougainvillea, villas, lantern) before camera specs; the Negative Prompt block blocks plastic skin and illustration drift.
