Urban Cafe Coffee Portrait Prompt
Create a hyper-realistic, cinematic lifestyle portrait of a man using the uploaded reference image for accurate facial identity matching.

IDENTITY:
Preserve the subject's recognizable facial structure, proportions, skin tone, age characteristics, hairstyle, facial hair if present, and natural facial details. Do not unnecessarily alter, reshape, beautify, or replace the subject's identity. Maintain realistic skin texture and natural imperfections.

SCENE:
Place the subject inside a cozy, sophisticated urban café during the morning. The environment should feel warm, contemporary, inviting, and naturally lived-in without becoming cluttered.

Show subtle café elements such as a refined wooden table, tasteful interior details, soft window light, muted décor, and distant café elements softly disappearing into the background.

POSE & EXPRESSION:
The subject is seated comfortably at a café table while naturally holding a coffee cup.

His posture should feel relaxed and authentic. He looks thoughtfully away from the camera with a calm, composed expression, creating a candid lifestyle moment rather than a formal posed portrait.

Keep the hands anatomically accurate with natural finger placement around the coffee cup.

STYLING:
Dress the subject in sophisticated contemporary fashion suitable for a premium urban lifestyle editorial.

Use clean, well-fitted clothing with understated luxury styling, natural fabric texture, and refined neutral tones. Keep accessories minimal and realistic.

LIGHTING:
Use soft natural morning light entering through the café windows.

The light should gently illuminate the face while creating subtle highlights across the hair, clothing, and coffee cup.

Maintain natural skin tones, realistic shadows, soft contrast, and balanced exposure.

CAMERA & COMPOSITION:
Vertical 4:5 composition.

Capture the portrait using a Sony A7R V aesthetic with an 85mm f/1.8 prime lens.

Keep the subject's eyes and facial details sharply focused while creating creamy, smooth background bokeh.

Use a natural eye-level perspective with elegant portrait compression and clean editorial framing.

BACKGROUND:
Create a softly blurred cozy urban café background with warm architectural details, subtle furniture, muted ambient lights, and natural depth.

Keep background elements understated so the subject remains the primary visual focus.

COLOR & RENDERING:
Subtle cinematic color grading with sophisticated neutral and warm café tones.

Maintain realistic skin texture, natural pores, detailed hair, authentic fabric texture, realistic coffee cup materials, and physically believable lighting.

STYLE:
High-end editorial fashion photography combined with sophisticated urban lifestyle photography.

Photorealistic DSLR quality, cinematic atmosphere, premium composition, natural depth of field, realistic textures, ultra-detailed rendering, and 8K-quality clarity.

NEGATIVE PROMPT:
identity change, facial distortion, altered facial structure, artificial beauty enhancement, plastic skin, excessive skin smoothing, cartoon, CGI, 3D render, unrealistic anatomy, distorted hands, extra fingers, missing fingers, deformed coffee cup, excessive HDR, harsh lighting, overexposure, underexposure, unnatural skin tone, excessive background clutter, artificial bokeh, low resolution, blur on face, text, logo, watermark.

OUTPUT:
Vertical 4:5 aspect ratio, ultra-realistic cinematic lifestyle portrait, premium editorial photography finish.
