## Prompt

```text
Create a realistic vertical street portrait photo of {character_name} standing outdoors in an urban setting at golden hour. Frame him from mid-chest upward, centered, with his head and shoulders filling most of the image. He has short, curly dark brown hair with warm rim light catching the curls, light stubble on the jaw and neck, and a natural relaxed posture facing the camera. His face is intentionally obscured by one large solid rectangular censor block placed over the entire central face area from forehead to upper chin, colored as a soft brown skin-tone gradient, with clean sharp edges and no text. He wears a dark navy or black textured wool jacket with a collar and visible zipper over a plain {shirt_color} crew-neck T-shirt. The background is a real city street with tall building walls close on the left, distant buildings and traffic lights on the right, heavily blurred into creamy bokeh. Use warm golden-hour side light coming from camera-right/back-right, daylight white balance around 5600K, realistic skin and fabric texture, natural contrast, shallow depth of field, and believable camera optics. Photographic settings: 85mm portrait lens, f/1.8, ISO 200, 1/500 sec, focus on the eyes area beneath the censor block. Vertical 4:5 composition, high-resolution editorial portrait style, no watermark, no extra people, no text.
