Create an ultra-realistic, high-definition cinematic portrait using the supplied reference image. Preserve the subject’s facial structure, hairstyle, cap, physique, clothing, accessories, pose, phone placement, mirror perspective, and overall composition.

STYLE AND FORMAT
Vertical 4:5 aspect ratio. Ultra-realistic cinematic photography with high-end editorial realism, natural skin texture, realistic optics, HDR, subtle film grain, and photorealistic detail. Keep the image like an authentic spontaneous mirror photograph, with the clarity, tonal depth, and polish of a professional editorial image.

SUBJECT AND APPEARANCE
A man with an athletic, muscular physique stands in front of a large wall mirror, taking a casual mirror selfie with a modern dark-colored smartphone held vertically in front of his torso. The phone partially obscures the center of his chest. He is topless and wears a backward black baseball cap, large black over-ear headphones resting around his neck, and a black smartwatch or fitness watch. A small purple keychain or accessory hangs from the lanyard around his neck. Preserve the reference’s short dark hair beneath the cap. Use natural masculine facial features, realistic skin texture, and individual hair strands with slight natural styling irregularities.

POSE AND COMPOSITION
Use a medium-close vertical composition, approximately waist- or chest-up. Center the subject slightly toward the right side of the mirror frame. His posture is relaxed and natural; his head tilts slightly downward and turns subtly toward the phone. Give him a calm, reserved, introspective expression, with relaxed lips and a soft neutral gaze directed at the phone screen. One hand securely holds the phone while the other interacts naturally with it. Preserve the phone’s position, natural arm positioning, authentic mirror-selfie perspective, slight asymmetry, and realistic smartphone-photo perspective distortion.

ENVIRONMENT
Place him in a minimalist contemporary tiled interior resembling a modern gym locker room or bathroom mirror area. Use large rectangular gray stone or concrete wall tiles with subtle seams and texture variations. Metallic fixtures may be partially visible at the frame edges. Keep the background understated and slightly darker than the subject.

LIGHTING AND CAMERA
Use realistic warm indoor overhead lighting mixed with soft ambient illumination. Add subtle highlights across the forehead, cheekbones, shoulders, and arms; maintain natural shadows beneath the cap brim, chin, arms, and headphones. Preserve physically accurate light falloff, realistic exposure, natural dynamic range, and nuanced shadow detail. Avoid artificial studio lighting. Emulate a modern premium smartphone camera with a high-quality computational photography pipeline: 50mm-equivalent natural perspective, realistic depth of field, subtle lens compression, accurate skin rendering, fine micro-contrast, and natural edge definition.

DETAIL AND REALISM
Include natural pores, tiny skin imperfections, fine facial hairs, realistic arm hair, authentic fabric weave, subtle wrinkles and folds, believable reflections, accurate anatomy, physically correct hands and fingers, and genuine photographic texture. Avoid plastic skin, excessive skin smoothing, exaggerated muscles, CGI appearance, artificial beauty retouching, distorted hands, extra fingers, malformed anatomy, floating accessories, incorrect reflections, oversaturated colors, excessive sharpening, cartoon aesthetics, 3D-rendered appearance, fake bokeh, unrealistic lighting, or dramatic alterations to the original scene.

SIGNATURE
In the lower-right corner, include small, stylized handwritten cursive signature text: ${signature-text:🐇TheLostBunnyNim x Francis Zheng Recto}. Make it slightly abstract and artistic, elegant like a personal signature overlay, with a soft glow.

Parameters

Replace each placeholder with your own value, or use its default when one is provided.
