## Prompt

```text
Create a hyper-realistic 35mm editorial portrait of {subject} standing alone on a vast desert-like surface of smooth ash-gray sand, photographed from an extreme top-down angle as if the camera is high above him looking straight down. The subject is centered, looking up toward the camera, with natural skin and realistic facial features, wearing {outfit}. The sand has fine wind-ripple texture across the whole frame and is surrounded by rugged tan rock formations, sparse desert shrubs, scattered pebbles, and harsh midday sunlight casting strong shadows. Place exactly seven large circular footprint-like craters in the sand around the subject: one large crater at lower left, one large crater at lower center, one large crater at lower right, one crater to the subject’s left, one crater to the subject’s right, and two fainter partial craters behind him near shoulder level; also include one winding trail of tiny footprints in the upper-left background. Use {sand_color} tones, crisp natural shadows, high dynamic range, documentary realism, vertical smartphone composition, no text, no watermark, no surreal creatures, no extra people.
```
