Create an ultra-detailed, photorealistic cinematic photograph. Use a square 1:1 frame, cropped at the knees, with a close medium shot from a frontal three-quarter angle slightly below eye level. Use a normal 50 mm lens, sharp focus on the face and torso, shallow depth of field, and a blurred background.

[FACE IDENTITY — ABSOLUTE LOCK — HIGHEST PRIORITY]
Use the attached photo as the sole facial reference. Apply a 100% face lock: the face must be identical to the reference. Preserve exactly the same face, shape, eyes, nose, mouth, eyebrows, and bone structure. Do not replace the face, beautify it, make it thinner, or generate an AI face. Preserve the reference’s natural skin texture. (identical face to reference:1.6) (preserve facial identity:1.6) (keep face from reference:1.5)

[GENDER ADAPTATION — REQUIRED RULE]
If the reference photo shows a man, use masculine clothing and a masculine athletic build; keep his hair exactly as shown in the reference photo. If the reference photo shows a woman, use feminine clothing and a feminine athletic build; give her natural, ultra-realistic hair with loose strands, visible pores and individual hair texture, illuminated by backlight.

[SUBJECT — PILOT]
An athletic pilot sits inside a futuristic military fighter cockpit. Their light, tan skin is covered in shiny sweat, dust, and soot, with visible pores and faint freckles if present in the reference. They look intensely and determinedly off-frame, with raised, furrowed eyebrows and closed, medium-thickness lips in a serious, tense expression. Preserve the eye color and shape from the reference photo.

Hair: If the pilot is a man, match the reference exactly, including the haircut and texture. If the pilot is a woman, give her ultra-realistic natural hair with loose strands: wavy, tousled, and dirty, with a thick side braid over her left shoulder and loose strands flying in the wind, illuminated by golden backlight. Render every strand in hyper-realistic detail.

Clothing: A fitted, dirty, worn light-gray tank top (masculine version for a man; feminine version for a woman) under a black tactical harness vest with wide straps and silver metal buckles crossing the chest in an X. Beige-and-brown desert-camouflage cargo pants are soiled with mud, and the pilot wears black tactical gloves. A circular floating holographic interface in neon cyan, electric blue, and red surrounds the left forearm. The right glove has a glowing red detail. The pilot wears a black aviation headset with a boom microphone near the mouth. Muscular arms are extended, holding the side control sticks.

[COCKPIT AND FOREGROUND]
The pilot’s knees are bent. In the lower-right foreground, place a black metal box with the white stencil text “DO NOT GRAB,” sharp and legible. The cockpit interior has scratched dark metal framing, side panels with glowing cyan-green and orange HUD displays, a black ejection seat with a yellow label, and a canopy with a metal frame and dirty, scratched glass.

[BACKGROUND AND LIGHTING]
Background: a sunset sky with burnt-orange and golden-yellow clouds, and the blurred silhouette of an aircraft in the sky.
Use mixed cinematic lighting: warm golden-amber sunset light from the upper right creates a strong rim light on the hair and sweat highlights on the skin; cool cyan light from the holograms fills the shadows. Create cinematic warm-cool contrast.

[STYLE AND TECHNIQUE]
Cinematic 8K quality, extreme sharpness, no grain, and hyper-realistic textures of sweaty skin, dirty fabric, worn metal, synthetic leather, and volumetric holographic light. Realistic anatomy and correct scale for a cramped cockpit. Use a palette of amber, burnt orange, graphite black, dirty beige, and neon cyan. --ar 1:1
