Replace the ${…} placeholders with your values before using this prompt. See parameters and defaults below.

Use the person in ${reference-face} as the subject. Create a photorealistic image with strict identity lock, preserving exact facial features, proportions, and true-to-life skin texture.

SKIN & TEXTURE
Natural, healthy, human-realistic skin with visible pores, fine skin texture, subtle real-life imperfections, believable tonal variation, and authentic highlights and shadows. Maintain realistic skin texture on the face, neck, ears, and all exposed skin. Keep the skin fresh, youthful, and naturally healthy, without a plastic or waxy appearance, excessive smoothing, artificial glow, or beauty filters.

SUBJECT & HAIR
A young Asian man with a naturally handsome, youthful appearance. Black, slightly messy, voluminous hair with soft, wispy strands falling naturally across the forehead. Realistic hair texture and natural volume.

SCENE
Outdoors on a tree-lined urban street during blue hour, with dense dark green foliage, a pale blue evening sky, and subtle streetlights in the background.

POSE & COMPOSITION
Close-up portrait from the upper chest to the top of the head, with the subject occupying approximately 65% of the frame. His body is slightly angled while his face turns toward the camera. One hand is raised beside his face, making a natural V-sign with the index and middle fingers spread apart. Position the V-sign close to one eye, playfully framing it without covering it. Keep the fingers relaxed, anatomically correct, and naturally proportioned.

HEAD, GAZE & EXPRESSION
Have him look directly into the camera with a gentle, charming smile. His lips are closed, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised to create a subtle, natural smile. His eyes are relaxed, with a friendly, playful expression. Keep his face clearly visible, with the V-sign beside one eye rather than obscuring his facial features.

OUTFIT
A thick knitted sweater with broad horizontal stripes: dark navy blue across the shoulders and chest, alternating with ivory-white sections. Show chunky knit fibers and realistic fabric texture, with a relaxed fit.

LIGHTING
Natural blue-hour ambient lighting combined with direct smartphone flash. Use realistic facial highlights, gentle shadows, naturally rendered skin tones, and a slightly darker green background. Avoid overexposure and artificial skin brightness.

CAMERA & STYLE
Photorealistic candid smartphone portrait, close-up perspective, natural facial proportions, authentic skin details, subtle photographic grain, realistic colors, and a relaxed, youthful street-photography aesthetic. Vertical 3:4 composition.

NEGATIVE PROMPT
Looking away from the camera, open-mouth smile, visible teeth, exaggerated grin, V-sign covering the eye, incorrect finger positions, extra fingers, deformed hands, unnatural hand proportions, altered identity, different facial structure, plastic skin, waxy skin, poreless skin, excessive smoothing, artificial glow, heavy beauty filters, cartoon, anime, CGI, blurry face, overexposure.
