Out of the frame / 2026
Light still guides
A white lighthouse on dark rocks under a heavy evening sky. Below, it rises out of a thin strip of the stormy horizon, its rocks and spray fading into the paper.
The storm and the last light shrink to that strip of horizon, and the tower rises out of it with its lamp lit.
The poster prompt expects an uploaded photo, and there was none. The photo on top was generated first, from this description, then handed to the prompt as if someone had taken it:
3:2 landscape. A white lighthouse with a red lantern room on dark wet rocks by the sea, waves breaking white below it, a heavy grey sky with a break of warm evening light near the horizon. 50mm lens from a little distance, eye level. A real photograph, not an illustration. No people, no text, no logos, no watermark.
The poster's lines: Stone keeps silence / the sea remembers / light still guides. And: A beacon for returning — and for beginning again.
Using the uploaded photo, create a 3:4 vertical poster split into top and bottom halves that touch seamlessly, with no white line, gap, or border between them. Top: the original photo, full-bleed. Bottom: a warm off-white textured paper background. The main subject is cut out, enlarged, and centered. Behind it, a thin horizontal rectangle shows a blurred crop of the original scene, and the subject breaks out of the frame (3D pop-out). The subject's base fades softly into the paper with natural particles, shadow, or reflection. Add small uppercase serif text in light grey with wide spacing: 3 short poetic lines at top-left and 2 lines with a "—" at bottom-right. Minimal gallery-poster style, photorealistic.
