Create an image using the uploaded image.

IDENTITY AND FACIAL PRESERVATION:
Use the uploaded person's photograph as the primary facial identity reference. Preserve their recognizable face, natural skin tone, apparent age, facial structure, eye shape and color, eyebrows, nose, lips, cheekbones, jawline, hairline, and distinctive features. Maintain authentic facial proportions, realistic skin texture, and natural masculine or feminine characteristics. Do not change gender, de-age, excessively beautify, or replace the person's face with a generic model. Adapt hairstyle, facial hair, accessories, and clothing naturally to the individual's appearance while maintaining strong facial resemblance.

STYLE AND ATMOSPHERE:
Create an ultra-photorealistic cinematic luxury fashion portrait inspired by sophisticated European menswear, timeless aristocratic elegance, contemporary editorial photography, and mysterious high-fashion character portraits. The aesthetic is commanding, confident, distinguished, effortlessly stylish, and subtly rebellious. Emphasize deep midnight navy, charcoal black, muted slate blue, soft silver-gray, warm natural skin tones, and understated antique bronze accents. The finished image should resemble an exclusive luxury fashion campaign photographed for an international editorial magazine.

COMPOSITION AND POSE:
Vertical 4:5 portrait with a slightly compressed medium-telephoto perspective. Frame the subject from approximately the upper thighs to just above the head, with the head positioned slightly right of center and the torso occupying most of the image. Photograph from approximately upper-chest height with a nearly eye-level camera angle and subtle natural perspective. The subject stands confidently with shoulders relaxed, torso angled slightly toward the camera, and weight shifted naturally. The head tilts subtly downward and toward one shoulder, projecting quiet authority. Arms rest naturally near the sides, with hands partially outside the frame or casually positioned near trouser pockets. Maintain direct engagement with the camera through the subject's natural gaze or stylish tinted eyewear.

HAIRSTYLE AND FACIAL DETAILS:
Style the hair into a luxurious, naturally textured editorial hairstyle appropriate to the uploaded person's gender, hairline, length, and original characteristics. For longer hair, incorporate voluminous, loosely swept-back waves with softly tousled movement and individual strands catching the light. For shorter hair, maintain a polished, naturally textured cut with realistic volume. Preserve existing facial hair characteristics where applicable, enhancing individual beard hairs and subtle tonal variations without inventing an entirely different identity. Optional elegant round or softly oval dark-tinted sunglasses with thin antique-metal frames, realistic reflections, and carefully proportioned lenses. Eyewear should complement the subject without overwhelming their recognizable appearance.

WARDROBE AND ACCESSORIES:
Dress the subject in an impeccably tailored, luxurious midnight-navy and charcoal-black formal ensemble adapted naturally to their gender and physique. Feature a structured, dark double-breasted tailored jacket with elegant peaked lapels, sculpted shoulders, refined seams, and subtly textured wool fabric. Beneath the jacket, incorporate a coordinated fitted double-breasted waistcoat with polished metallic buttons, a dark formal shirt, and a matching narrow silk necktie. Include tasteful understated details such as a delicate antique-metal waistcoat chain, precisely tailored pockets, fine stitching, and refined lapel construction. The outfit should appear expensive, substantial, sophisticated, and physically realistic, with authentic folds, fabric tension, wool grain, and subtle satin highlights.

LIGHTING AND COLOR:
Reproduce soft, directional natural window illumination entering predominantly from the upper-left side of the frame. Warm-neutral daylight gently illuminates the subject's face, forehead, cheekbones, hair, and left shoulder while the opposite side transitions into rich, smooth cinematic shadows. Maintain controlled highlights on eyewear, individual hair strands, facial contours, jacket lapels, and textured fabric. Use deep but detailed blacks, smooth tonal transitions, restrained contrast, warm skin highlights, and slightly cool shadows. Avoid harsh flash, artificial studio lighting, excessive brightness, oversaturation, or crushed shadow detail.

BACKGROUND AND ENVIRONMENT:
Place the subject inside an elegant, softly illuminated European-inspired luxury interior. Behind the subject, feature an out-of-focus pale ivory and cool-gray wall, dark architectural detailing, a softly draped curtain along the left edge, and a partially visible antique gold-framed mirror or artwork in the upper background. Keep the environment sophisticated, spacious, understated, and naturally authentic. The background should be substantially blurred, providing beautiful subject separation while retaining subtle hints of architectural depth, metallic frame reflections, and ambient interior light.

CAMERA AND PHOTOGRAPHIC SETTINGS:
Professional full-frame digital camera, premium 85mm portrait lens, approximately f/1.8 to f/2.2 aperture, ISO 200, 1/250-second shutter speed, natural window-light white balance around 5000K. Focus precisely on the subject's face and eyewear, preserving exceptional facial sharpness while allowing the background to dissolve into soft, creamy bokeh. Use realistic optical compression, natural perspective, refined microcontrast, smooth highlight roll-off, exceptional dynamic range, and subtle professional cinematic color grading. High-resolution, editorial-quality photography with lifelike detail and no artificial sharpening halos.

PHOTOREALISM AND QUALITY:
Render exceptionally detailed skin pores, fine lines, natural imperfections, individual hair strands, realistic facial hair, authentic skin reflections, accurate hands and anatomy, precise eyewear reflections, intricate wool fibers, silk necktie texture, metallic button highlights, and realistic environmental depth. Preserve natural human proportions and believable garment construction. Avoid plastic skin, exaggerated facial symmetry, cartoon effects, distorted accessories, unnatural anatomy, excessive retouching, visible text, watermarks, or artificial-looking backgrounds.
