The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the highlighted part of the prompt changes.

Prompt

A duotone portrait: a photograph of a man in a bucket hat reduced to two inks, deep blue and cream, with the midtones crushed so the face reads as bold flat shapes. Set against a solid grass green ground with a scattering of simple flat pink flower shapes placed around him. High contrast, no soft gradients, print like flatness. Composed as a poster with the head slightly off centre.
