Prompt
A photorealistic portrait of a weathered old fisherman in a yellow oilskin raincoat, deep creases around his eyes and salt-and-pepper stubble, wet skin glistening, a knitted wool beanie pulled low, overcast grey harbour light diffusing softly across his face, one shoulder turned slightly toward the camera, a blurred trawler deck and coiled rope behind him, 85mm portrait lens look with creamy bokeh, natural skin texture with visible pores, muted cool color grading, no text, no signature --ar 2:3 --stylize 130

How to use this prompt
"Deep creases around his eyes and salt-and-pepper stubble" is the diagnostic aging detail that reads as a weathered fisherman rather than a generic old man; without the creases MJ renders a smooth idealized face. "Yellow oilskin raincoat" is the occupational costume that anchors the character to a fishing harbour; a generic coat loses the trade. "Overcast grey harbour light diffusing softly" is the softbox-quality light that real overcast produces; hard sunlight would over-saturate the skin and break the realism. "85mm portrait lens look with creamy bokeh" is the gear cue that tells MJ the background should melt, not stay sharp. "Visible pores" is the skin-texture cue that blocks the plastic-smooth AI-skin read.
Variations to try
- Swap the fisherman for a weathered female market vendor with a canvas apron
- Change to a side profile with the fisherman looking out to sea for a contemplative mood
