"City Skyline Success Portrait"

CRITICAL RULE 1 (read first, applies above all else): The face in the
output MUST be the exact same person as the uploaded reference photo.
Do not generate a new face, do not beautify, do not idealize, do not
blend with a generic face. If you are unsure whether the face matches,
default to making it MORE identical to the reference, not less.

IDENTITY LOCK (exact match required): Match the reference photo exactly
for: face shape and bone structure, eye shape/size/color/spacing,
eyebrow shape, nose shape and width, lip shape and fullness, chin and
jawline shape, cheekbone structure, skin tone and undertone, any
visible marks, moles, or asymmetries. These are not suggestions — they
are hard constraints. Zero deviation allowed.

DO NOT COPY FROM REFERENCE (only these things should change): expression,
eye gaze direction, head angle/tilt, and body pose should NOT match the
reference photo — generate these freshly based on the scene below. To
be clear: FACE IDENTITY = locked exactly. EXPRESSION/POSE/ANGLE = freely
generated and different from the reference.

EMOTIONAL INTENT (design goal): This should feel like a "lead character"
moment — the kind of photo a guy would genuinely want to post because
he looks powerful, successful, and effortlessly confident, like the
protagonist of his own story. Not overly posed or try-hard — relaxed
swagger, sharp presence.

LIGHTING SETUP (as a real photographer would dial it in): Key light —
warm late-evening sun over a city skyline, acting as a strong warm
backlight from behind at a low angle. Fill — soft ambient light
bouncing off nearby glass buildings, gently lifting shadows on his
face at roughly a 2:1 ratio so he doesn't go silhouette-dark. Rim
light — the low sun creates a sharp golden rim along his hair and
jacket edge. Catchlights in his eyes should be sharp and intense.

LENS & OPTICS: Simulate an 85mm lens at f/1.8 — flattering facial
compression, background rendered as a soft dreamy wash of golden
bokeh from city skyscrapers and lights beginning to switch on, gentle
fall-off in sharpness away from the focal point, faint natural
vignette at the corners.

FILM/COLOR SCIENCE: Warm success-hour film response — highlights
bloom softly rather than clipping, shadows lifted gently rather than
crushed black, warm amber-gold midtones, natural true-to-reference
skin tone — color grading must not shift his actual skin tone from
the reference.

Style: A sharply fitted blazer or structured jacket over a plain
shirt, sleeves slightly rolled or collar open, minimal accessories
(watch, simple chain) — the kind of look that signals success without
trying too hard, realistic and relatable, not an exaggerated glam
transformation.

NEW POSE & ANGLE (must differ from reference, face identity unchanged):
Standing on a rooftop or high balcony ledge, one hand in his pocket,
jacket caught slightly by the wind, body angled at three-quarters to
the camera, head turned back over one shoulder toward the lens,
weight settled confidently on the back foot.

NEW EXPRESSION (must differ from reference, face identity unchanged):
A calm, confident half-smile with a relaxed jaw and sharp, steady
eyes — the natural composed look of someone who has just accomplished
something and is taking in the view, not a stiff copied expression.

RETOUCH PIPELINE: Smooth tonal transitions while fully preserving fine
pore-level texture and the reference face's exact proportions. No
flattening, no waxy skin, no facial reshaping of any kind.

FINAL VERIFICATION (mandatory self-check before output): Compare the
generated face side-by-side against the reference photo's face shape,
eyes, nose, lips, and jawline. If any facial feature does not match
the reference person, discard and regenerate the face to match exactly
— only the expression, pose, and angle are allowed to differ.
