Prompt

{
  "prompt": "Ultra-realistic cinematic photo inside a modern subway train carriage. A young man with styled curly brown hair, light beard, and black glasses sits casually on a seat, slightly hunched forward, focused on his smartphone. He is wearing a vibrant magenta blazer over a bright orange turtleneck sweater, beige pants, and white sneakers (match exact colors from reference image). \n\nForeground: a hand holding an open spiral sketchbook, perfectly aligned in perspective, showing a highly detailed pencil drawing of the same man in identical pose and outfit. The sketch is monochrome with selective color rendering — magenta blazer and orange turtleneck colored to match real-life outfit.\n\nEnvironment: realistic subway interior with metal poles, fabric seats, passengers blurred in background, window light softly illuminating scene.\n\nLighting: natural daylight mixed with subtle cinematic contrast, soft reflections, realistic shadows.\n\nCamera: 50mm lens, shallow depth of field, sharp focus on sketchbook, subject slightly softer but clear, background blurred.\n\nStyle: hyper-detailed, photorealistic, high dynamic range, realistic skin texture, fabric detail, depth, cinematic composition, perfect alignment between sketch and real subject.",
