Coastal Cliff Journaling Environmental Portrait

Using the uploaded photo, create a photorealistic environmental documentary portrait of the same person seated alone near a rugged coastal cliff, writing or sketching in a large open sketchbook. KEEP — Preserve the exact facial identity from the uploaded photo, including forehead shape, eyebrow placement, eye shape and natural eye colour, nose structure, lips, cheeks, cheekbones, jawline, chin, ears, facial width, and natural facial asymmetry. Keep the original skin tone, visible pores, fine texture, natural marks, and realistic under-eye detail. Keep the original hairline, hair density, hair texture, hairstyle, and facial-hair pattern where visible. Keep the person’s natural body proportions, shoulder width, neck structure, hands, and overall height impression. Preserve glasses or other visible identity-defining features from the uploaded photo. CHANGE — Dress the subject in a matte black cotton hoodie, black straight-cut trousers, and simple dark outdoor shoes. Seat them on a low black folding camping chair beside the cliff, with the body angled slightly toward the ocean and the head naturally lowered toward the sketchbook. Replace the original environment with a rugged coastal landscape. Add natural wind movement to the hoodie fabric and nearby grasses. Use restrained overcast lighting and a cool blue-grey coastal colour palette. SCENE — Place the subject on a grassy cliff edge during late afternoon, facing a wide ocean horizon. Behind them, layered blue-grey water, distant rocky cliffs, and low coastal haze recede into the background. Keep the sea and distant cliffs softly rendered rather than heavily blurred, preserving their environmental scale. LIGHT — Use broad, soft overcast daylight from the upper-left/front-left, around 6500K, producing gentle facial illumination with no hard shadows. CAMERA — Use a 180mm telephoto lens at f/4, camera positioned around chest height and far enough away to compress the cliff, ocean, and distant rocks naturally. Keep the seated subject sharp while nearby grass receives moderate optical blur. GRADE — Apply a restrained documentary grade with cool blue-grey shadows, natural skin tones, muted greens, realistic contrast, and subtle atmospheric haze. Avoid excessive teal, artificial HDR, or oversaturated colours. OUTPUT — Vertical 3:4 composition at 8K resolution, with the subject occupying roughly 25–30% of the frame height and generous coastal landscape surrounding them. DO-NOT — no face slimming, no skin whitening, no changed eye colour, no plastic smoothing, no altered facial proportions, no invented jewellery or tattoos, no identity blending.
