Prompt template

Using the supplied photo as the identity reference, create a photorealistic vertical 9:16 close-up selfie of the same man. Preserve his face and likeness exactly; do not change his identity.

Scene and camera: An outdoor selfie taken from below, as if with an iPhone 16 Pro front-facing camera, f/2.2, ISO 200. The man is near a window, with a light beige exterior wall, a white window frame, and clear blue sky on the right side of the frame. A brown PVC window frame is visible on the left. Include no other objects.

Pose and expression: His torso tilts slightly toward the camera. His shoulders are relaxed, with the right shoulder slightly higher. His head tilts back slightly, and he looks down into the lens. His expression is warm and open, with narrowed eyes and a slight closed-mouth smile. His right hand holds the phone below his face and outside the frame; the phone must not be visible. His left arm reaches toward the camera at chest height, making a correct shaka gesture: thumb and little finger extended, the middle three fingers folded. Keep the hand and fingers long, straight, well-groomed, and anatomically correct, with clean, properly shaped nails and even knuckles. Do not show his legs.

Lighting: Soft, diffused daylight from above and in front, at roughly a 35-degree angle. Light the face evenly, with a slight shadow under the chin and subtle highlights on the forehead and cheekbones. Show natural sebum in the T-zone. The bright background should provide gentle fill light.

Appearance and clothing: Thick, naturally shaped dark eyebrows; soft three-day stubble; warm, lifelike skin with visible pores and minor imperfections; relaxed lips; no makeup. He wears a light gray heavyweight cotton fleece hoodie with a roomy hood, slightly creased and lowered to reveal the neck. Add small, unreadable embroidery on the chest.

Style and framing: Warm, natural image with subtle grain and neutral color rendering. No filters. Low-angle close-up, vertical 9:16 composition.

Avoid distortions: no extra fingers or limbs, no warped window frame, no visible phone, no raised hand, no bent or crooked fingers, no crooked knuckles, and no incorrect hand gesture. Preserve realistic skin pores, natural sebum, and cotton-fleece texture. Avoid CGI, plastic or airbrushed skin, studio flash, neon, oversaturation, beauty filters, and artificial-looking hands.
