Style prompt guide

Style traits to keep

A woman in a plum coat reads on a park bench under copper autumn trees, shot like a warm lifestyle photograph with a few thin white leaf outlines drawn over it. The look works because a realistic photo base is mixed with one light graphic layer, and a tight three-colour palette keeps the mood calm. GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst handles that mix cleanly.

The style is a warm autumn lifestyle photo with a light hand-drawn graphic layer on top. These traits make it recognisable.

Palette
Plum, rust and butter yellow repeat across coat, leaves and light. Because the range is narrow, the picture feels designed rather than accidental.
Line
The white leaf outlines are thin and drawn, like doodles on a photo. They add a playful editorial touch without competing with the woman.
Light
Low afternoon sunlight gives a golden glow and gentle shadows. It makes the copper trees look warm and keeps the skin tones soft.
Composition
An eye-level 50mm view in a tall 4:5 frame puts her at a natural scale, with the book on her lap as a quiet focal point and the leaves framing her.

What defines this look

  1. Frame shapeVertical 4:5 portrait frame.

    Sets a tall crop that fits a seated figure, the bench and the trees above her. Remove it and the model may pick a square or wide frame, cutting the canopy or leaving empty side space.

  2. Subject and outfitAn adult woman in a plum wool coat, cream scarf and dark trousers reads on a wooden park bench under copper autumn trees

    Names the clothing colours and the setting, so the plum coat stands out against the copper leaves. If you drop the outfit details, the model picks random clothes and the palette weakens.

  3. Graphic overlayA few delicate white drawn leaf outlines float around the scene without covering her face.

    This is the stylised touch: thin white line-art leaves on top of the photo. 'A few' and 'delicate' keep them light, and 'without covering her face' stops them hiding the portrait.

  4. Camera and lightEye level 50mm lifestyle photograph, low afternoon sunlight

    A 50mm eye-level view gives natural proportions and a candid feel. Low afternoon sun adds warm side light and long soft shadows. Without it the lighting turns flat and generic.

  5. Palette and moodplum, rust and butter yellow palette, natural skin and a contented pause, no readable text.

    Limits the colours to three warm tones and asks for believable skin and a quiet mood. The last phrase keeps stray lettering off the book pages and out of the scene.

Same style, new subjects

Man with a dog

Swaps in a person and a pet while keeping the outfit colours, overlay and light. Use it for pet-friendly autumn content.

Prompt

Vertical 4:5 portrait frame. An adult man in a plum wool coat and cream scarf sits on a wooden park bench beside a golden retriever under copper autumn trees. A few delicate white drawn leaf outlines float around the scene without covering his face. Eye level 50mm lifestyle photograph, low afternoon sunlight, plum, rust and butter yellow palette, natural skin and a relaxed pause, no readable text.

City street cafe

Moves the style to a street scene with no person. Good for cafe or lifestyle brand visuals.

Prompt

Vertical 4:5 portrait frame. A quiet city street in autumn with a small cafe table, a steaming cup and a folded newspaper beneath copper trees. A few delicate white drawn leaf outlines float around the scene without covering the table. Eye level 50mm lifestyle photograph, low afternoon sunlight, plum, rust and butter yellow palette, soft shadows and a calm pause, no readable text.

Still life on a table

Applies the same look to objects only. Use it for cosy blog headers or seasonal posts.

Prompt

Vertical 4:5 frame. A plum ceramic mug, an open notebook and a cream knitted scarf on a wooden table beside a window with copper autumn trees outside. A few delicate white drawn leaf outlines float around the scene without covering the notebook. Eye level 50mm lifestyle photograph, low afternoon sunlight, plum, rust and butter yellow palette, a contented pause, no readable text.

Model and settings

Keep the 4:5 ratio, since the tall crop suits a seated figure with trees above and works well for portrait feeds. Keep quality on high so skin, wool texture and the thin leaf outlines stay crisp. For a wide banner, change the ratio and add more scenery to the prompt. If you want an edit of an existing photo instead, switch to an image-edit mode and describe only the overlay and palette.

  • FLUX.2 ProPick it if you want a more photoreal portrait and tighter control over the exact plum and rust tones, since it offers hex color control.
  • Nano Banana 2.1A good choice when you want sharp 4K output of the same scene, for example for print or a large poster.

When the style drifts

The white leaf outlines become thick, cover her face or turn into real leaves.
Repeat 'thin white line-art leaf outlines, drawn, flat, not covering her face' and keep 'a few' so the model does not fill the frame.
The style washes out into a generic autumn stock photo with no graphic layer.
Move the overlay phrase earlier in the prompt and add 'hand-drawn white outline doodles over the photograph'.
Colours turn muddy or oversaturated orange instead of plum, rust and butter yellow.
Keep the three-colour palette phrase and add 'no bright orange, soft muted tones' to stop the leaves taking over.
Text appears on the book pages or signs.
Keep 'no readable text' and add 'blank book pages, no signs or lettering' so the model leaves the pages plain.

Questions about this style prompt

How do I get drawn outlines on top of a photo?

Describe them as a separate layer: 'delicate white drawn leaf outlines float around the scene'. Say they should not cover the face. GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst then keeps the photo realistic and the lines thin.

Why does the prompt say 50mm eye level?

A 50mm lens at eye level looks close to what a person sees, so the woman and bench keep natural proportions. Wider or higher angles would make it feel more like a landscape or a drone shot.

Can I change the coat colour without losing the look?

Yes, but change the palette phrase to match, or the colours will clash. If you pick a forest green coat, say 'forest green, rust and butter yellow palette' so the whole picture stays harmonious.
