Portrait (image)
Use the supplied face reference image to create a photorealistic image with strict identity lock, preserving the subject’s exact facial features, proportions, and true-to-life skin texture.

SUBJECT
Young Asian man, lean athletic build, natural body proportions. Preserve the subject’s exact identity, facial structure, bone structure, and natural skin tone.

HAIR
Natural black hair, short to medium length, softly parted near the center with a gentle side-swept fringe. Natural volume, slightly tousled texture, realistic individual strands, matte finish, not overly styled.

SCENE
A modern building entrance with a dark glass doorway on the left and a pale gray wall with a softly blurred information poster on the right. A waist-high orange-brown brick counter with a turquoise-green top edge fills the foreground. A person wearing a navy cap and a light-colored face mask is faintly visible in the background, out of focus.

POSE & COMPOSITION
Standing behind the brick counter, leaning forward slightly with both forearms resting naturally on the counter. One forearm lies horizontally along the top edge while the other hand rests loosely near the center of the body, fingers gently curled. Shoulders relaxed, upper body leaning forward casually. Framed vertically from the waist up, with the counter visible across the lower foreground. Match the pose, arm placement, framing, and camera angle in the supplied pose reference image.

Head tilted slightly to one side and turned toward the camera. Chin naturally lowered, eyes looking directly at the lens.

EXPRESSION

LIGHTING
Soft natural daylight from the front, with gentle shadows and balanced exposure. Realistic highlights on the face and forearms, neutral color temperature, natural skin tones without artificial glow.

CAMERA
Vertical 9:16 smartphone portrait, medium shot from the waist up, slightly low eye-level angle. Subject in sharp focus, background softly blurred, realistic perspective and natural depth of field.

STYLE

Ultra-photorealistic candid photography with natural healthy human skin, visible pores, fine skin texture, subtle real-life imperfections, believable tonal variation, authentic highlights and shadows, and realistic texture across the face, neck, ears, and exposed arms.
