## Prompt

```text
Realistic candid photo of [person from uploaded photo] standing chest-deep in {water_type}, surrounded by large breaking waves and white sea foam, no hat. In one raised hand, held above the water, they hold an {laptop} with a visible Apple logo, angled toward their face as if working on it. In the other hand, raised at chest height, they hold a {beverage} with a white lid and brown sleeve. Their expression is focused and slightly tired, looking down at the laptop screen. Only the head, shoulders, and raised arms are visible above the waterline; the rest of the body is submerged. The ocean is turbulent with rolling waves and whitewater in the background, cool grey-blue-green color grading, overcast diffused daylight, slightly moody and dramatic lighting. Shot from a distance with a slight telephoto compression, as if photographed candidly from the shore. Vertical composition, photorealistic, ironic "always working" meme aesthetic, no text overlays anywhere on the image.
```
