Use the uploaded photograph as the only and definitive reference for the subject’s identity, hairstyle, physique, outfit, pose, and composition.

## Identity preservation
Preserve the subject’s original face and identity with maximum fidelity: facial structure, bone proportions, jawline, cheekbones, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, eyebrows, hairline, skin tone, and natural facial asymmetry. Preserve the original hairstyle: naturally styled black hair with a soft, textured fringe falling slightly across the forehead. Maintain a calm, confident, subtly intense masculine expression and realistic Asian facial characteristics without westernization.

Do not swap or reinterpret the face, beautify it, modify the apparent age, or smooth the skin. Identity preservation is non-negotiable.

## Physique and proportions
Maintain a natural, realistic, athletic masculine physique consistent with the reference: lean muscle, thick chest and arms, broad athletic shoulders, a moderately full chest, naturally defined pectoral muscles, a visible six-pack, defined obliques, and a balanced V-shaped torso. Keep the arms muscular but proportionate, with realistic definition. Preserve natural body hair and authentic skin texture where visible. Make the proportions look balanced and somewhat taller without exaggerating muscle size.

Maintain believable anatomy, natural posture, and realistic proportions. Do not create excessive bodybuilding proportions, artificially enlarged muscles, or an unnaturally narrow waist.

## Outfit
Reproduce the reference outfit as closely as possible. The subject wears a black varsity jacket with a matte black body, glossy black leather-look sleeves, a white double-striped ribbed collar, cuffs, and waistband, white curved shoulder accents, and silver-tone snap buttons. Include large outlined varsity lettering on the left chest, matching the reference design as closely as possible, and subtle embroidered script on the opposite chest. The jacket is open and draped naturally over the shoulders, exposing the chest and abdomen.

The subject wears black athletic running shorts with a relaxed, lightweight fit. Include a small white sportswear swoosh on the lower leg, matching its placement and appearance in the reference. Show natural fabric folds and realistic textile texture.

Do not add a necklace, bracelet, earrings, or other accessories. Do not redesign the jacket, change its color, or replace the outfit with a different fashion style.

## Pose and body language
Recreate the original pose with high photographic fidelity. The subject stands upright inside an open doorway, with one arm raised overhead and the palm resting naturally against the upper doorframe. Bend the raised elbow comfortably to create a strong diagonal line through the arm and shoulder. Let the other arm rest naturally beside the body. Keep the shoulders open and relaxed, and let the jacket fall naturally from the raised shoulder.

Turn the torso predominantly toward the camera. The head faces forward with direct eye contact, a neutral chin, and a calm, confident, subtly alluring expression. The abdomen is naturally visible through the open jacket. Maintain relaxed confidence and an editorial attitude; avoid exaggerated arching, unnatural twisting, or forced model poses.

## Environment and background
Place the subject in a realistic modern residential doorway with minimalist architectural details. Include a white-painted doorframe around the subject and a dark, understated interior behind him. Use neutral gray and charcoal tones, subtle visible wall and doorframe textures, natural depth between foreground and background, and a clean, uncluttered composition. Create an authentic indoor atmosphere with a quiet, intimate editorial mood. Keep the doorway framing and dark interior visually consistent with the reference photograph.

## Lighting and color
Use premium natural-light portrait photography. Soft, diffused daylight illuminates the face and upper body, with gentle highlights across the forehead, cheekbones, shoulders, chest, and abdominal muscles. Use natural shadows to define the facial structure and torso, and realistic reflections on the jacket’s leather-look sleeves.

Balance cool-neutral interior shadows with natural skin tones. Use moderate contrast, controlled highlights, and deep but detailed blacks. Apply subtle cinematic color grading without excessive teal-orange effects. Preserve realistic skin texture, pores, fine hairs, and natural tonal variation. Do not use artificial neon, excessive glow, dramatic god rays, or overprocessed HDR.

## Camera and composition
Create professional fashion and lifestyle photography. Use a vertical 3:4 composition and full-length-to-mid-thigh framing, closely matching the reference crop while adapting naturally to the 3:4 aspect ratio. Position the camera approximately at the subject’s torso level, with natural perspective and realistic body proportions. Use an 85mm portrait-lens aesthetic and an aperture around f/2.8 for gentle background separation while retaining facial and clothing detail.

Keep the eyes and face sharply focused. Show detailed jacket materials and naturally defined abdominal muscles, with realistic photographic depth of field and high-resolution, editorial-quality rendering. Keep the raised hand, upper doorframe, jacket, and shorts within the composition as closely as the 3:4 framing permits.

## Realism and quality control
The result must be premium, ultra-photorealistic photography with authentic human anatomy, realistic skin pores and subtle imperfections, natural facial asymmetry, accurate hands and fingers, correct joints and limb proportions, convincing leather-look material and varsity fabric construction, and physically plausible lighting and shadows. Keep muscle definition natural, without artificial enhancement, and use professional fashion-editorial sharpness.

The final image must look like an actual photograph of the same person in the same outfit and pose, not an AI-generated character.

## Negative prompt
Different identity, altered face, face swap, beautified face, westernized facial features, changed jawline, changed nose, enlarged eyes, artificial facial symmetry, altered hairstyle, plastic skin, skin smoothing, excessive retouching, skinny physique, exaggerated bodybuilding muscles, oversized chest, unrealistic six-pack, unnatural proportions, distorted torso, extra fingers, malformed hands, deformed arms, broken joints, floating limbs, redesigned jacket, different jacket color, missing white stripes, incorrect lettering, extra jewelry, necklace, bracelet, earrings, cartoon, anime, illustration, painting, 3D render, CGI appearance, fantasy styling, neon lighting, artificial glow, oversaturated colors, excessive HDR, over-sharpening, blurry face, low-resolution textures, unrealistic shadows, watermark, unwanted text.

## Final directive
Preserve identity, facial fidelity, natural physique, outfit accuracy, pose, environment, lighting, and photographic realism, in that order of priority. Reproduce the black varsity jacket, exposed torso, black athletic shorts, raised-arm doorway pose, and dark interior with maximum visual consistency. The final result is a premium, photorealistic black varsity jacket masculine editorial with a calm, confident presence and authentic natural detail, in a vertical 9:16 composition.
