Create an ultra-photorealistic, high-resolution editorial portrait, using the second reference image as the identity source and the first reference image as the composition and styling reference. Replace the man in the first image with the man from the second image, preserving his recognizable facial features, natural face shape, eye shape and color, eyebrows, nose, lips, skin tone, hairstyle, and overall visual identity.
Composition and Camera Angle: Tight vertical close-up portrait, photographed from a slightly low angle, with the subject's chin subtly raised and his face centered in the frame. His head remains naturally aligned, without excessive tilting. The framing includes the top of his hair, face, neck, and upper shoulders, emphasizing his jawline and facial structure.
Appearance: The man has thick, naturally styled black hair with a voluminous, slightly tousled side-swept fringe, dark brown eyes, strong natural eyebrows, a defined jawline, and subtle, short facial stubble around the upper lip, cheeks, and chin. His skin has realistic pores, fine texture, and natural tonal variations. Preserve his original identity without blending facial features from the first reference image or creating a generic face.
Expression and Pose: Calm, confident, serious expression with relaxed, closed lips and a direct, steady gaze toward the camera. His chin is slightly elevated, creating a strong, masculine editorial presence.
Clothing: A dark charcoal or black textured tailored blazer with subtle light-colored detailing along the lapel, worn over a light-colored shirt with a visible collar. Preserve the elegant, minimalist styling of the first reference image.
Lighting and Background: Soft, directional studio lighting illuminates the face, creating natural highlights across the forehead, nose, cheekbones, and chin, with gentle shadows defining the jawline. Clean, plain off-white background with subtle natural texture and no distracting elements.
Photography Style: Premium fashion magazine editorial photography, realistic skin texture, sharp facial details, authentic hair strands, natural color grading, balanced contrast, professional portrait photography, 85mm lens aesthetic, shallow depth of field, and exceptionally high detail.
Important Instructions: Use the second image exclusively to preserve the man's identity and the first image as a reference for the pose, camera angle, framing, lighting, clothing style, and overall photographic aesthetic. Maintain realistic human anatomy and natural facial proportions. No artificial skin smoothing, no exaggerated beauty retouching, no face blending, no distorted features, no CGI, no 3D rendering, no illustration, no text, and no watermark.
