Prompt

{
  "prompt": "Ultra-realistic vertical 8K photographic portrait. The person from the reference image is standing inside a cozy cafe painting a large wall mural. The mural on the textured cafe wall is a highly detailed, realistic artistic version of his own face, perfectly matching his real facial features, expression, skin tone, nose shape, eyes, lips, jawline, and hair exactly as in the original photo — as if he is painting a perfect mirror reflection of himself. The wall has a natural rough plaster texture with subtle imperfections, cracks, and artistic brush strokes visible. Surrounding the mural are decorative white ceramic flower pots placed on wooden shelves and hanging hooks, filled with vibrant roses in red, pink, yellow, white, and orange. Green vines and climbing plants are creeping along the wall and around the mural frame, blending naturally into the environment. The subject is holding a paintbrush in one hand and a palette in the other, wearing casual artist clothing with slight paint stains for realism. Soft natural daylight enters through a cafe window from the side, creating gentle shadows, warm highlights, and cinematic depth without harsh lighting. Ambient cafe background with wooden tables, chairs, subtle bokeh lights, and artistic decor elements. Hyper-detailed skin texture, realistic pores, natural skin shine, photorealistic depth of field, high dynamic range, professional DSLR look, vertical composition, cinematic framing, lifelike color grading, true-to-life proportions, perfect perspective, masterpiece quality.",
