## Prompt

```text
Ultra-photorealistic editorial lifestyle photograph shot on a full-frame DSLR with an 85mm f/1.8 lens. Natural indoor daylight from the left. THE_SUBJECT (from attached reference) must be replicated with 100% identity fidelity, exact facial structure, skin tone, proportions, and natural texture.

THE_SUBJECT is seated on a couch, angled slightly toward camera, holding a large 12.9-inch iPad Pro vertically and showing the screen directly to the viewer. In the other hand, THE_SUBJECT holds an Apple Pencil naturally, as if paused mid-drawing.

Insert THE_SCREEN (attached reference image) exactly onto the iPad display with correct proportions and perspective. The screen should appear realistically illuminated with subtle glass reflections and edge glare. Both face and iPad screen in sharp focus. No stylization, no illustration effect; it must look like a real professional photograph.
```

## About

A highly specific prompt template for generating an ultra-photorealistic editorial lifestyle photograph of a subject drawing a self-portrait on an iPad. Crucially, this prompt requires two reference images: one for the subject's identity fidelity and one for the image displayed on the iPad screen.

Prompt from YouMind OpenLab (github.com/YouMind-OpenLab).
