# CAFÉ LATTE — KOREAN LIFESTYLE FASHION EDITORIAL

## FACE IDENTITY REFERENCE
Use the uploaded photo as the exclusive facial identity reference. Preserve the exact recognizable facial identity, natural facial proportions, eye shape, nose, lips, jawline, skin tone, and distinctive facial features. Do not reshape, beautify, de-age, or replace the face. The final image must clearly look like the same person from the reference photo.

## OUTFIT & STYLING
Create a sophisticated yet relaxed Korean casual outfit inspired by minimalist café culture and understated menswear.

- An open, relaxed-fit milk-chocolate brown linen shirt with a soft collar, natural wrinkles, rolled-up sleeves, and realistic linen texture.
- A plain white heavyweight cotton T-shirt underneath, with a clean neckline and relaxed fit.
- Stone-beige straight-leg chino trousers with a comfortable silhouette, subtle creases, and natural fabric draping.
- Minimal beige-and-white retro sneakers with understated detailing and realistic rubber soles.
- A simple silver wristwatch with a clean, understated design.
- Natural black hair styled with soft volume and a slightly tousled Korean finish.
- Clean, natural grooming with realistic skin texture.

The linen shirt should fall naturally over the T-shirt rather than looking stiff or perfectly pressed. The overall styling should feel mature, approachable, and quietly fashionable without excessive accessories or visible branding.

## POSE & BODY LANGUAGE
The subject sits on a simple natural-wood café chair, positioned at a slight angle to the camera.

Lean forward gently while reading an open fashion magazine held naturally in both hands. Keep the elbows relaxed near the thighs, shoulders loose, and back slightly curved in a comfortable reading posture.

The head tilts downward toward the magazine, with a thoughtful, peaceful expression. Capture a candid moment as if the subject is absorbed in the pages rather than deliberately posing for the camera.

One foot rests flat on the floor while the other sits slightly farther forward, creating a relaxed and asymmetrical leg position. Keep both shoes visible.

Ensure the magazine is held naturally, with realistic fingers and believable paper folds. Its pages may contain subtle, indistinct fashion photography, but no readable text, brand names, or recognizable copyrighted magazine cover.

## BACKGROUND & STUDIO DESIGN
A warm beige seamless studio with a pale sand-colored floor and subtle cream undertones.

Position a single minimalist wooden chair in the center of the set. Use soft, late-afternoon sunlight to cast elegant diagonal window-frame shadows across the background and floor.

The lighting should evoke a peaceful Korean café in the late afternoon without creating a literal café interior. Keep the environment spacious, clean, and uncluttered.

No tables, coffee cups, plants, or unnecessary decorative props.

## LIGHTING & CAMERA
Use warm, directional daylight from one side, balanced with soft studio fill lighting. Create natural highlights along the linen shirt, subtle shadows around the chair legs, and realistic folds in the trousers.

Photograph with a 50mm editorial lens at approximately seated chest height, using a slightly off-axis three-quarter angle. Preserve realistic body proportions, natural perspective, sharp clothing details, and authentic skin texture.

Use gentle depth of field while keeping the face, hands, magazine, and outfit sufficiently sharp. The final image should resemble a real photograph taken for a premium Korean lifestyle magazine.

## COMPOSITION & IMAGE QUALITY
- Vertical 9:16 portrait composition.
- One single, coherent photograph.
- Three-quarter to nearly full-body framing, with the complete seated pose and both sneakers visible.
- Position the subject slightly off-center to create a natural editorial composition.
- Keep the brown linen shirt and stone-beige trousers clearly visible.
- Ultra-realistic, high-resolution professional photography.
- Natural skin texture, accurate anatomy, realistic hands, believable fabric wrinkles, and correct contact shadows.

## STRICT NEGATIVE CONSTRAINTS
No collage, no split panels, no duplicate person, no extra people, no cartoon or anime appearance, no plastic-looking skin, no exaggerated facial features, no identity changes, no distorted hands, no extra fingers, no malformed magazine, no floating objects, no unnatural seated posture, no dark background, no excessive orange color grading, no readable text, no logos, and no watermark.

## FINAL MOOD
Quiet Korean café aesthetics, understated menswear, milk-chocolate and stone-neutral tones, peaceful afternoon sunlight, mature casual styling, and premium lifestyle-editorial photography.
