Create an extremely photorealistic, cinematic Western portrait using the uploaded photo as the exact identity reference.

IDENTITY — ABSOLUTE PRIORITY
Preserve the person's exact facial identity: facial structure, natural proportions, eyes, nose, lips, jawline, cheekbones, eyebrows, skin tone, freckles, natural skin texture, hair color, and distinctive features. Do not beautify, redesign, or replace the face; make the person resemble a generic model or celebrity; or change their age or ethnicity. Keep realistic pores, subtle imperfections, natural under-eye texture, and authentic skin detail.

Transform the person into a realistic modern cowboy. Use the uploaded image only for identity; create a completely new environment, wardrobe, pose, lighting, camera angle, and composition.

SCENE
Set the portrait at a remote ranch in the American West shortly before sunset. The person stands beside a weathered wooden fence in a vast, dusty landscape. A dark brown horse with a worn leather Western saddle stands behind them. In the distance, include rugged mountains, dry grass, dusty trails, old wooden ranch buildings, and fences stretching toward the horizon. The atmosphere is warm, dry, and cinematic.

POSE AND EXPRESSION
Have the person stand casually beside the horse, leaning one arm against the fence. Turn their body slightly away from the camera while they look directly into the lens. Give them a calm, confident, slightly mysterious expression, without an exaggerated smile or theatrical pose. The image should feel like an authentic behind-the-scenes photograph from a Western movie.

WARDROBE
Dress the person in a realistic, dark brown, worn leather cowboy hat; a faded dark denim shirt with sleeves slightly rolled up; a weathered brown leather jacket; dark blue or charcoal denim jeans; heavy, worn leather cowboy boots; and a vintage Western leather belt with a subtle metal buckle. A leather gun holster may be attached naturally to the belt, but do not emphasize weapons. Make all clothing and accessories look genuinely worn from years of ranch work: dusty, scratched, and naturally aged.

HORSE
Show a realistic dark bay horse standing calmly beside the person, with detailed individual hairs, realistic muscles, natural eyes, and dust on its coat. Give it an authentic leather saddle and reins. The horse must look like a real animal photographed on location, not CGI.

LIGHTING
Use golden-hour sunlight from behind and slightly to the side, with a strong warm rim light around the hat, hair, and shoulders. Add soft, natural fill light on the face, long realistic shadows across the dusty ground, and subtle atmospheric haze and floating dust particles catching the sunlight.

CAMERA AND COMPOSITION
Use a professional full-frame cinema camera look, a 50mm lens, and an f/2.8 aperture. Use natural depth of field, sharp focus on the face and eyes, and realistic optical blur that gradually softens the horse and background. Keep a natural cinematic perspective without wide-angle distortion. Use a vertical ${aspect-ratio:4:5} composition.

COLOR AND REALISM
Use warm desert gold, dusty browns, muted greens, deep charcoal shadows, and natural skin tones. Add subtle analog film grain and high dynamic range while preserving shadow detail. Avoid excessive orange-and-teal grading.

Make the result look like a real photograph taken on a Western film set. Include natural skin pores, individual hair strands, realistic fabric fibers and leather texture, dust particles, authentic horse anatomy, physically accurate sunlight, natural shadows, realistic reflections, and atmospheric perspective. Avoid CGI, plastic skin, artificial beauty filters, excessive HDR, over-sharpening, fantasy elements, illustration, and a video-game appearance.

FINAL RESULT
Create a powerful, believable cinematic photograph of the same person as a modern Western cowboy, somewhere between an authentic ranch photograph and a frame from a high-budget neo-Western movie.
