Transform the uploaded photo into a cinematic summer lifestyle portrait set at a sunlit coastal location during golden hour. The subject wears comfortable, gender-neutral summer clothing—such as a lightweight linen or cotton shirt, relaxed-fit trousers or shorts, and minimal accessories in neutral tones—styled naturally and effortlessly. Use warm, glowing beach light with soft highlights and gentle shadows, a relaxed yet confident pose, and natural motion such as wind moving through hair or clothing. Create an aspirational travel-photography mood—calm, free, and sun-kissed—without stiffness or exaggeration. Ultra-realistic skin and fabric textures, sharp subject focus, shallow depth of field with softly blurred ocean and shoreline in the background, natural cinematic color grading, professional travel photography look, high dynamic range, 4K resolution. 3:4 aspect ratio.
