Prompt
Create a realistic portrait of Nicholas Sparks, a middle-aged American novelist, sitting at a wooden desk with a warm, golden lighting. He has short, graying brown hair and a gentle smile, wearing a pair of reading glasses and a casual, button-down shirt. The background is a cozy, book-filled study with a few framed photos and awards on the shelves. The overall mood is one of warmth, comfort, and creativity, reflecting his reputation as a masterful storyteller of romance and drama. The style should be photorealistic, capturing the subtleties of his expression and the texture of his surroundings.
