AI Image Prompt

A cinematic triptych (three-panel layout). Left panel: a man in loose white resort clothing walks through a lush tropical jungle near a small river and bamboo structures. Center panel: a close-up hero shot of an iPhone Pro lying on dark denim with soft natural shadows. Over the iPhone, centered metallic text reads PRO, with a small line above saying Shot on iPhone 17. Right panel: a young man in black clothing walks through a Japanese torii gate tunnel with repeating orange pillars. All panels share a unified cinematic color grade with soft contrast, muted tones, and natural ambient lighting. The overall style should feel like a premium smartphone photography showcase advertisement.
