Use the uploaded reference photo as the ONLY source of the person's identity and appearance.

ABSOLUTE IDENTITY PRESERVATION — HIGHEST PRIORITY.

Create a cinematic, photorealistic music-video frame featuring the person from the uploaded photo as an eccentric hypnotist inspired by the visual aesthetic of Little Big — Hypnodancer.

IDENTITY & APPEARANCE
Preserve the person's identity with maximum possible accuracy: identical facial features and proportions; same head shape, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, ears, and jawline; natural skin tone and realistic skin texture; same age and distinctive characteristics; original hairstyle or natural hair characteristics; and natural body proportions and actual physique.

Do not replace the face with another person. Do not beautify, reshape, rejuvenate, or stylize the face. The person must remain immediately recognizable as the individual in the reference photo.

CHARACTER & OUTFIT
Transform the person into an eccentric, charismatic stage hypnotist. Dress him in an extravagant retro-futuristic stage outfit: a brightly colored tailored suit with bold geometric patterns, a vintage-inspired shirt, an unusual tie or neck accessory, distinctive oversized retro sunglasses, theatrical but stylish details, polished shoes, and coordinated accessories. The outfit should feel deliberately strange, flamboyant, and slightly absurd, like a memorable character from an unconventional electronic music video.

POSE & EXPRESSION
Have the person stand confidently facing the camera. Raise one hand toward the viewer, with the fingers positioned as if hypnotizing the audience. Use direct eye contact, a confident hypnotic expression, a slightly mischievous smile, and charismatic stage presence. The pose should feel theatrical, controlled, and iconic, as if performing directly for the viewer.

ENVIRONMENT
Create a surreal retro-futuristic music-video set with concentric circles, hypnotic geometric patterns, repeating visual motifs, unusual architectural elements, colorful stage props, symmetrical compositions, and surreal decorative objects. Make the environment visually hypnotic, bizarre, and intentionally over-the-top while keeping it photorealistic.

VISUAL STYLE
Use a high-budget eccentric electronic music-video aesthetic inspired by the visual language of Little Big — Hypnodancer. Combine retro-futurism, surreal pop art, absurdist fashion, psychedelic geometry, theatrical staging, vibrant saturated colors, strong graphic composition, unusual perspective, and energetic music-video cinematography. The result should look like a frame from a professionally produced music video, not a cosplay photograph or generic studio portrait.

LIGHTING
The lighting on the face and body must naturally match the environment. Use dramatic theatrical lighting with colorful practical lights, soft frontal illumination, subtle rim lighting, and controlled reflections on the sunglasses and clothing. Match the direction, color temperature, intensity, and contrast across the face, body, clothing, and background. Avoid a pasted-on face effect or artificial facial glow; integrate the person fully into the scene.

CAMERA & QUALITY
Use a cinematic medium-to-full-body composition, an eye-level camera with a subtle wide-angle perspective, and a 35–50mm cinematic lens. Use natural depth of field, sharp facial details, realistic skin pores and texture, highly detailed clothing and accessories, photorealistic materials and reflections, professional cinematic color grading, subtle film grain, HDR, and 8K-quality visual detail.

FINAL RESULT
Create a charismatic, eccentric, slightly absurd hypnotist who looks as though he has stepped directly out of a surreal electronic music video: hypnotic, stylish, flamboyant, and instantly recognizable as the person in the reference photo.
