Create a 1990s grunge band–style album cover featuring only one person — the same individual from the reference photo. Do not change the person’s face or facial features. The face must stay exactly like the reference.

At the bottom of the cover, add the album title in rough, distressed typography: "!INSERT ALBUM NAME HERE" (this text must be easy to replace later).

The character should look like a member of a classic 90s grunge band, with an authentic thrift-store, anti-fashion aesthetic. Use clothing such as oversized flannel, a worn band T-shirt, ripped or baggy jeans, faded denim, slouchy hoodies, and either combat boots (Docs style) or old Converse/Vans.

The pose must mimic iconic 90s grunge band photos: relaxed or slouched posture, slightly hunched shoulders, neutral or indifferent expression, eyes not directly posing — more candid than heroic, as if caught in a real moment rather than a styled photoshoot. Hands can be in pockets or hanging loosely.

The photo style should feel raw, moody, and unpolished. Use a desaturated, muted palette with tones of dark green, washed-out brown, dirty beige, charcoal gray, and faded denim blue. Add subtle film grain, light blur, or grit to imitate old album covers. Lighting should be soft and natural, slightly overcast or dim, with gentle shadows and no dramatic highlights.

Background should be simple and gritty — like an alley wall, garage door, old brick, or industrial texture — keeping full attention on the subject. The overall mood must feel authentic, unglamorous, grungy, nostalgic, and reminiscent of 90s Seattle-band album photography.
