      "Editorial fashion photograph of a handsome, tanned young man with a slight mustache wearing a light blue unbuttoned dress shirt with rolled-up sleeves and white pants, leaning forward on a polished stainless steel yacht railing. He is wearing classic dark sunglasses. Harsh, direct sunlight from the top left creating dramatic, hard-edged shadows on his face and clothing. The background features the pristine white smooth fiberglass superstructure of a luxury yacht and dark tinted windows reflecting a clear teal sky. Shot with an 85mm lens, high contrast, commercial luxury lifestyle aesthetic.",
      "Medium shot of a confident man on a boat deck in bright midday summer sun. He has short dark hair styled back with slight windblown texture. He wears a pale blue button-down shirt and white jeans. Both hands rest on a metal guardrail in the foreground. Strong directional lighting casts deep black shadows under his chin and on the unlit side of his face. Clean white nautical architecture behind him against a vibrant blue sky. Ultra-sharp, photorealistic, Vogue editorial style."
