The prompt

Create a sleek, modern forced-perspective portrait of a man standing on top of a gigantic smartphone screen, with extreme scale contrast — the phone dominates the environment while the subject appears life-size and physically grounded on its surface.

**Subject:** Male, natural dark hair, well-groomed. Expression neutral, calm, confident, looking directly upward toward the camera.

**Outfit:** Oversized premium white hoodie with natural folds and soft drape, relaxed black shorts, clean white crew socks, white Air Jordan sneakers, and metallic silver over-ear headphones (AirPods Max style).

**Pose (locked):** Standing naturally, body angled about 10–15° left, head tilted upward toward the camera, both hands in the shorts pockets. Weight evenly balanced, grounded and realistic — no exaggerated posing.

**Scale (critical):** The phone fills roughly 85–90% of the lower frame (upper edge toward the left, lower edge toward the lower-right). The subject occupies about 65–75% of the frame height, full body visible with no cropping, feeling genuinely life-size on the phone's surface. Feet firmly planted with a realistic contact shadow — no floating or miniature effect.

**Camera (locked):** Strict top-down high angle (70–80° overhead), nearly vertical rather than diagonal or cinematic — a flattened, real top-shot photography look. Phone edges should be visible in perspective, not a flat front-on view.

**Device & Environment:** A giant black iPhone with a minimal modern design, its top edge toward the left of frame. The screen shows a dark-mode Spotify UI with album art for a song called "Sun is Coming" by an artist called Sajanka, the artwork depicting a stylized sunset and a human silhouette — UI elements kept subtle and realistic, not distracting. Phone rests on a seamless light grey-white studio surface.

**Background:** An infinite seamless light grey-white studio sweep — no horizon, edges, or wall texture, clean and distraction-free with a soft gradient falloff for depth.

**Lighting:** Soft high-key studio lighting from above, clean diffused shadows, subtle ambient shadow beneath the phone, and a realistic drop shadow from the subject onto the glowing screen.

**Rendering:** Ultra-photorealistic (no AI look), natural skin texture with visible pores and no smoothing, accurate fabric physics (hoodie folds matter), clean edges with no halo/cutout artifacts.

**Lens:** 28–35mm (slightly wide for scale exaggeration), f/2.8, mostly sharp focus, high detail, 8K realism.

**Aspect ratio:** 4:5 vertical, composed natively for this ratio (not cropped after the fact).

**Avoid:** Low-angle or eye-level shots, cinematic tilt, front-on view, an undersized phone or tiny subject, floating feet, incorrect perspective, AI-style skin smoothing, or bad proportions.
