How to use this prompt

Copy the prompt template and tweak the dropdown options to match your chosen aesthetic.
In Midjourney, enter /imagine and paste the full prompt into the box.
Ensure the prompt includes the parameter --ar 9:16 at the very end if generating vertically in Midjourney.
If the generator combines the panels into a single scene instead of three distinct frames, add extra emphasis on "triptych vertical collage" at the very start.
If hand or finger poses look unnatural in panel 1 or 3, use the "Vary (Region)" inpainting tool to regenerate just the hand area.

Tip: Swap the outfit to an oversized denim jacket or set the background to a rainy city rooftop.

Known limitations

Multi-panel collages can sometimes merge frames or create irregular borders instead of three clean vertical panels.
Hands behind the head can frequently render with distorted fingers or extra joints.
Small accessories like wireless earbuds might blend directly into the ear or hair texture.

Dreamy vertical triptych photo collage of a young man in his late teens or early 20s with soft, a moody. He wears off-white linen button-up shirt with an open collar and casually rolled sleeves. The three frames are staggered and overlapped, with soft blurred, light-leaked edges between them, like fragmented mirror shards or torn film strips. Panel 1 (top): Front-facing shot with one arm raised behind his head, chin slightly lowered and an intense, serious gaze looking straight into the camera. Panel 2 (middle): Head tilted down and to the side with his eyes lowered, one hand resting behind his neck, and a small black wireless earbud visible in his ear. The mood is quiet and melancholic. Panel 3 (bottom): Head tilted with a relaxed, pensive expression, both arms raised with his hand behind his head and his gaze drifting downward. The setting is a garden on an overcast day, with lush green hedges and leafy trees, a muted grey-blue wooden fence and a pale cloudy sky in the background. Soft diffused natural light, warm sepia and faded vintage film tones, low contrast, slight film grain, dreamy haze, shallow depth of field, indie aesthetic portrait photography, 50mm lens, ultra-detailed skin and hair texture, high resolution, 9:16 aspect ratio. --ar 9:16 ```[cite: 1]
