## Prompt

```text
A photorealistic vintage cinematic portrait of a {subject} sitting casually on an asphalt road directly in front of a {car_color} vintage sedan. He has dark, slightly messy medium-length hair and a calm, thoughtful expression, looking slightly to the side rather than directly at the camera. He is wearing a loose light gray button-up shirt with the sleeves rolled slightly, a loosely worn black and gray striped necktie, relaxed light gray wide-leg trousers, and black loafers. The classic red sedan dominates the background, featuring rounded 1950s-style bodywork, large circular headlights, chrome front grille and bumper, curved windshield, vintage hood ornament, glossy aged red paint, and subtle signs of use. The car is parked on a quiet forest road. Tall trees surround the scene, creating a peaceful woodland atmosphere. Warm late-afternoon sunlight filters through the trees, producing soft golden highlights, natural haze, gentle backlighting, and subtle lens flare. The background has shallow depth of field with softly blurred trees and another distant vehicle. Composition is vertical and fashion-editorial, with the subject positioned in the lower-right foreground and the vintage car filling most of the frame behind him. Low camera angle, natural perspective, candid editorial photography, nostalgic 1970s to 1980s film aesthetic, muted warm tones, soft contrast, realistic skin texture, authentic fabric details, subtle 35mm film grain, slight analog color shift, soft halation, cinematic shadows, natural imperfections, premium vintage magazine photography, highly realistic, atmospheric, timeless. Camera: 35mm film camera, 50mm lens, f/2.0, shallow depth of field, natural available light, slightly underexposed shadows, fine film grain. Aspect ratio: 2:3 vertical.
