SZA SOS Album Cover Recreation

A detailed prompt for recreating the SZA SOS album cover aesthetic, featuring a subject with specific facial features (requiring a reference image) sitting on a diving board over a vast, textured blue ocean, emphasizing cool blue hour lighting and a cinematic film look.

Prompt

A square-format album cover scene featuring the person in the reference image as the sole subject. The subject's facial features, skin tone, expression, and hairstyle are identical to the given facial reference; the face remains unchanged.
The subject sits in a relaxed three-quarter profile at the very edge of a white spring-loaded diving board that extends from the right edge of the frame into a wide, open ocean. There is no land or horizon visible; only layered, textured, undulating waves fill the entire background.
The subject is positioned in the right third of the frame, adhering to the rule of thirds. The camera is at eye level, in a three-quarter profile facing left, with the chin slightly raised, legs swinging freely, and hands resting loosely on the knees. The diving board serves as a clean, almost horizontal directional line.
Clothing: {argument name="clothing description" default="oversized white and blue athletic jersey, white shorts, brown boots"}.
The color palette is dominated by cool ocean blues: a deep indigo base, Prussian blue midtones, turquoise-cyan highlights at the wave crests, slate blue shadows, and almost black troughs with subtle silvery glints.
Lighting is provided by soft, diffused sunset light with a slight fall. Overall, a cool, blue hour vibe. Add in the fine-film grain, slight halos, subtle vignetting, slight matte curve, and restrained contrast.
Shot with a cinematic 35mm film look using 135mm telephoto equivalent, f/4, 1/500s, ISO 400. The medium-deep depth of field keeps the subject and board in focus while ensuring the wave texture remains visible.
Minimal typography space is left at the top for album text.
