ULTRA-PHOTOREALISTIC CINEMATIC PORTRAIT - STRICT REFERENCE RECREATION Create an ultra-photorealistic vertical portrait using the reference image as the STRICT visual blueprint. Recreate the image as closely as possible, preserving ALL visible details, composition, framing, camera angle, camera distance, subject placement, body proportions, pose, head position, face direction, hairstyle, clothing, accessories, background, lighting, shadows, colors, and overall atmosphere.

SUBJECT & POSE:
A young adult man standing close to a textured exterior wall, shown from approximately the waist/chest upward. His body is angled slightly toward the camera while his head is turned clearly toward the LEFT side of the frame, giving a strong left-facing side-profile / three-quarter profile. His chin is slightly raised, posture relaxed and confident, with a calm serious expression. His eyes are looking toward the left, away from the camera.Keep the exact head tilt, neck position, shoulder angle, torso orientation, and overall pose from the reference. ARMS & HANDS: His arms are folded naturally across his torso. One forearm crosses horizontally in front of his body, with the hand/arm positioned near the opposite upper arm. Preserve the exact arm placement, elbow position, hand proportions, finger positioning, and natural anatomy.

Do not alter the pose. FACE: Preserve the natural facial structure and realistic proportions.Defined jawline, slightly prominent cheekbones, straight nose, natural lips, dark eyebrows, subtle moustache and short beard/stubble along the jaw and chin. Maintain realistic skin texture, pores, tiny facial hairs, and natural imperfections. No excessive smoothing, beauty filter, face reshaping, or artificial symmetry. HAIR: Thick, naturally voluminous black/dark hair with a medium-length layered shape.Hair is slightly wavy and textured, swept naturally backward and sideways with loose strands around the forehead. Preserve the exact hairstyle, volume, hairline, direction, and silhouette from the reference. Individual realistic hair strands should remain visible. CLOTHING: He is wearing a plain black long-sleeve Henley-style shirt with a short button placket at the center neckline. The shirt is relaxed-fitting with natural fabric folds and wrinkles.Keep the exact black color, neckline, buttons, sleeve length, fabric texture, and fit. ACCESSORIES: A thin silver chain necklace is subtly visible around the neck. A large black wristwatch with a dark round dial and metallic details is worn on the wrist of the crossed arm. Preserve the watch placement, size, shape, and appearance exactly. BACKGROUND: Keep the exact architectural background.The subject is standing beside a cream/off-white textured exterior wall made of large rectangular sections separated by muted green horizontal and vertical trim lines. On the upper-right side is a rectangular window with a white/light-colored frame and dark horizontal/vertical metal grille or screen visible behind the glass. Preserve the wall texture, panel divisions, green trim, window position, frame, grille, and all background geometry exactly.

COMPOSITION & FRAMING:Vertical portrait orientation, approximately 9:16.

Subject occupies the right half of the frame while the textured wall occupies a large portion of the left side. The head is positioned around the upper-right/middle area with enough negative space around him. Keep the same crop, camera distance, perspective, subject scale, and framing as the reference. Do not zoom in or change the composition. LIGHTING:Natural-looking bright frontal/side illumination, similar to a smartphone photograph taken outdoors or near a building. Soft but clearly defined light across the face and clothing, with realistic shadows around the jaw, neck, hair, and clothing folds. Preserve the reference exposure and highlight/shadow balance. COLOR & IMAGE QUALITY: Natural warm-neutral skin tones, realistic black clothing, cream wall, muted green architectural accents, and

subtle gray/white window elements.Photorealistic smartphone-camera aesthetic with realistic dynamic range, crisp facial detail, natural skin texture, accurate shadows, and subtle depth of field. STRICT PRESERVATION: Same pose. Same pose direction. Same head direction. Same facial angle. Same body position. Same arm and hand placement. Same hairstyle. Same clothing. Same accessories. Same background. Same wall pattern. Same window position. Same camera angle. Same framing and

crop. Same lighting direction.Same overall color grading and atmosphere. Do not add or remove objects. Do not change the architecture. Do not change the pose or face direction. Do not beautify or reshape the subject.

Keep realistic anatomy, hands, fingers, skin texture, hair strands, fabric folds, and natural photographic imperfections. NEGATIVE PROMPT:different pose, different head direction, looking at camera, changed hairstyle, short hair, altered clothing, missing watch, missing necklace, changed background, different wall, different window, extra objects, extra fingers, malformed hands, distorted anatomy, artificial skin, excessive beauty retouching, plastic skin, face reshaping, over-sharpening, CGI, cartoon, illustration, unrealistic lighting, excessive

blur, low detail, identity drift.
