Create an ultra-photorealistic, premium-quality professional studio portrait of a handsome young man, using the uploaded reference photo for accurate facial identity. Preserve the person’s original face, facial structure, skin tone, eyes, nose, lips, jawline, and natural facial features. The final image must look like a real photograph of the same person, not an AI-generated face.

POSE AND COMPOSITION: Show the man standing in a relaxed, confident, slightly angled pose, with his upper body subtly turned to one side and his face looking directly into the camera. His shoulders are relaxed, his head is held naturally upright, and he has a gentle, charming smile and calm, confident expression. Frame the image approximately from the waist up, with both shoulders visible and his body centered. Match the reference image’s pose, camera angle, body posture, and portrait composition.

HAIRSTYLE AND APPEARANCE: Give him thick, naturally voluminous black hair styled upward and swept casually to the side, with realistic individual strands. Include well-groomed eyebrows, expressive dark eyes, subtle natural stubble, and a neatly trimmed short beard and mustache. Render realistic skin texture with visible pores, natural facial details, and authentic skin tones.

OUTFIT: Dress him in a luxurious charcoal-grey textured tailored blazer with structured shoulders, a slim elegant silhouette, and a neatly folded chest pocket. Underneath, use a premium black button-up dress shirt with the top buttons casually open and no tie, for a sophisticated minimalist style. Render realistic fabric textures, natural folds, and precise tailoring.

BACKGROUND: Use a seamless, dark charcoal-black studio background with subtle smoky-grey gradients and soft, cloudy textural variations. Keep it minimal, elegant, dark, and distraction-free, matching the reference photograph’s mood and appearance.

LIGHTING AND CAMERA: Use professional cinematic studio lighting: a soft diffused key light illuminating the face from the front-left, gentle shadows on the opposite side, subtle rim lighting around the hair and shoulders, and balanced highlights. Use moody low-key lighting with natural contrast, deep blacks, and rich charcoal tones. Simulate a professional full-frame camera with an 85mm portrait lens at f/2.0, sharp focus on the eyes, shallow depth of field, and smooth natural background blur.

IMAGE QUALITY: Create premium editorial photography with a luxury menswear campaign aesthetic, sophisticated color grading, lifelike skin details, realistic hair strands, accurate anatomy, natural proportions, high dynamic range, crisp facial focus, subtle filmic contrast, beautifully rendered fabric textures, 8K-level detail, and professional retouching without excessive skin smoothing.

IMPORTANT: Preserve the exact facial identity of the person in the uploaded photo. Reproduce the same relaxed standing pose, direct eye contact, gentle smile, charcoal-grey blazer, black shirt, dark textured studio background, lighting direction, framing, and overall premium aesthetic of the reference image. Adapt only the person’s identity to the uploaded face while preserving the full visual style and composition.
