1. The Urban Wanderer: Candid Street Style 🏙️
This prompt captures you in a moment of urban introspection, blending high fashion with a natural, candid vibe. The overhead shot adds a cinematic touch, making your outfit pop.
Prompt: "A full-body shot of me walking forward on a dark stone pavement, seen from a high-angle perspective as if captured from above. My right leg is stepping forward while my left leg is slightly behind, creating a natural walking motion. My left hand is relaxed and swinging slightly by my side, while my right hand is bent and touching the edge of my pants pocket. My head is tilted slightly to the left, and my eyes are looking downward in the direction I am walking, giving a candid, natural vibe. I am wearing a light beige long coat with a structured, elegant fit over a fitted dark gray turtleneck. My tailored trousers are in a medium gray tone, slim cut, slightly cropped at the ankles. On my feet, I wear clean white sneakers that stand out against the darker pavement. The outfit has a minimalistic, modern, and classy street-style aesthetic. The camera angle is from above, creating a cinematic, urban look with strong lines from the pavement. The focal length resembles an 85mm portrait lens, giving a natural compression without distortion, highlighting both the outfit and the walking pose. The lighting is soft and warm, enhancing the textures of the coat and pavement, with subtle blurred foreground elements adding depth to the frame."
2. The Low-Angle Sneaker Flex: Studio Cool 😎
Showcase your favorite kicks with this dynamic, wide-angle shot. This prompt uses dramatic perspective to put your style front and center in a clean studio setting.
Prompt: "A young man (use the uploaded picture as reference for the face) sits casually on the floor in a bright, high-key studio with a pure white background. The perspective is extremely low and wide-angle, emphasizing his large sneaker in the foreground, making it appear oversized and dominant in the frame. He is dressed in relaxed, modern casual clothing: brown wide-leg pants, a beige shirt layered with a short-sleeve light-colored overshirt, white socks, and chunky white athletic sneakers. He wears a wristwatch. His posture is relaxed, leaning slightly back with one arm resting on his knee, looking off to the side with a thoughtful expression. Soft, diffused lighting creates minimal shadows, giving the scene a clean, minimalistic, contemporary aesthetic. The overall composition highlights depth, scale distortion from the lens, and a modern streetwear vibe."
3. The Enigmatic Editorial: Fog & Fire 🌋
Dive into a surreal, high-fashion editorial look. This prompt places you in an atmospheric, minimalist landscape bathed in warm, intense colors, creating a truly unique and artistic portrait.
Prompt: "Atmospheric full-body fashion portrait in a minimalist editorial style. Use the uploaded photo as a reference for overall composition and mood: a solitary figure subtly dissolving into dense, colored fog. Pose: A male figure standing with a gentle forward hunch, head lowered, eyes hidden or cast toward the ground. Hands slipped into trouser pockets. A calm, closed, introspective stance. Environment: An abstract, horizonless space filled with thick, saturated fog. The ground features a textured surface resembling red Martian sand or rugged stone, gradually fading into the mist. Lighting: Soft volumetric backlighting that wraps around the figure. A smooth gradient from bright yellow and amber at the top, transitioning into vivid orange at mid-frame, and deep dark red near the ground. Light creates a gentle silhouette and a dreamy, cinematic atmosphere. Wardrobe: Loose-fit shirt with an abstract dark print (camouflage- or foliage-inspired), wide dark trousers falling onto the shoes, and light sneakers with dark detailing. Color & Mood: Warm monochrome palette (orange, amber, cinnabar) with high saturation, subtle cinematic grain, soft-focus background, and a surreal sense of heat, depth, and isolation."
4. The Gritty Creator: Monochrome with a Pop! ⚡
This one's a bold statement! A classic black and white studio portrait of you, but with a vibrant, street-art inspired twist. Perfect for showcasing your creative spirit.
Prompt: "Ultra-realistic black and white studio portrait, vertical 9:16. (Use the uploaded picture as reference for the face). He is sitting on a simple folding chair, wearing an oversized black blazer, black t-shirt, flared jeans, and chunky sneakers. The pose is relaxed, with legs slightly stretched forward, one hand resting casually on the chair, wearing sunglasses, and a confident expression. The background is a plain white studio with soft studio lighting, subtle shadows falling to the right on the floor. Surrounding the subject are black, white, and orange doodle graffiti illustrations: lightning, zigzag lines, swirls, arrows, and motivational words: 'PURPOSE', 'CREATE YOUR PATH', 'FAITH', 'BEAT', 'UNIQUE'. High-contrast design. The subject is cleanly monochrome with bright doodle highlights."
