Outputs
Portrait_image (image)
Use the provided reference image for the subject’s face. Create a photorealistic image with strict identity preservation, retaining the exact facial features, proportions, facial structure, bone structure, and true-to-life skin texture.

SUBJECT
A young Asian man with an athletic, lean-fit physique, naturally broad shoulders, a firm chest, defined abdominal muscles, toned arms, and a slim waist. Preserve the subject’s exact facial identity and natural proportions.

SKIN — NATURAL HUMAN REALISM
Show natural, healthy human skin with visible pores, fine texture, subtle real-life imperfections, believable tonal variations, and authentic highlights and shadows. Render realistic skin across the face, neck, ears, chest, shoulders, arms, and abdomen. Keep the skin tone natural, with realistic warmth and subtle unevenness. Avoid plastic or waxy skin, excessive smoothing, artificial glow, porcelain skin, and beauty filters.

HAIR
Short black hair with natural texture and a few slightly messy strands falling over the forehead.

SCENE
An outdoor urban residential courtyard in daylight, with a large black apartment building filling the background. Include visible rectangular windows, white balcony railings, wall-mounted air-conditioning units, and subtle green foliage along the right edge. Natural overcast daylight creates a muted, slightly warm urban atmosphere.

POSE AND COMPOSITION
Create a mirror-selfie-style photograph from a slightly low angle. The subject holds a black smartphone in his raised right hand near the left side of the frame. His upper body faces the camera while his head turns slightly to his left. His left hand rests casually inside the pocket of his black shorts. He stands naturally with relaxed shoulders and a subtle torso angle, displaying his athletic physique without an exaggerated pose.

An oversized plaid shirt hangs loosely off both shoulders, leaving the chest and abdomen exposed. Frame vertically from the bucket hat to the upper thighs, with the subject occupying approximately 75% of the image.

HEAD AND GAZE
Turn the subject’s head slightly to the left, with his gaze directed toward the smartphone screen rather than directly at the viewer. His chin is slightly raised, his neck naturally elongated, and his expression calm and confident.

EXPRESSION
Give him a relaxed, masculine expression with gently closed lips and a subtle hint of a smile. Keep the eyes natural and facial muscles relaxed. No exaggerated grin or visible teeth.

OUTFIT
An oversized brown, beige, and charcoal plaid button-up shirt, worn open and slipped off the shoulders, with loose sleeves and natural fabric folds. Black lightweight athletic shorts with an elastic waistband and visible black drawstrings. No unnecessary accessories.

BODY DETAIL
Show an athletic, lean-fit physique with naturally broad shoulders, a firm chest, defined pectoral muscles, visible but realistic six-pack abdominal definition, toned arms, and a narrow waist. Include subtle oblique definition and believable muscle transitions. Keep him fit and muscular without excessive bulk or exaggerated bodybuilding proportions. Use natural anatomy, realistic skin folds, and authentic muscle definition in daylight.

LIGHTING
Use soft natural daylight with gentle directional shadows across the chest, shoulders, abdomen, and face. Keep exposure balanced, skin highlights realistic, and shadows subtle enough to define the athletic physique without making the muscles look artificially enhanced. Use natural ambient light, with no studio lighting or excessive contrast.

CAMERA
Use a vertical 9:16 composition and slightly low-angle smartphone selfie photography. Medium-full portrait framing, realistic smartphone perspective, natural depth of field, detailed facial features, authentic skin texture, and a clear architectural background. Use slightly muted colors and a casual candid-photo aesthetic.

STYLE
Use the Human Realistic preset. Create ultra-photorealistic human photography with strict identity preservation, natural healthy skin, visible pores, fine skin texture, subtle imperfections, realistic athletic anatomy, authentic fabric details, natural hair strands, and true-to-life lighting. Use realistic smartphone image quality, subtle photographic grain, natural color grading, and minimal retouching.

NEGATIVE PROMPT
Different identity, altered facial features, changed facial proportions, plastic skin, waxy skin, excessive smoothing, artificial glow, porcelain skin, heavy beauty filters, unnatural skin whitening, exaggerated muscles, oversized chest, unrealistic six-pack, extreme bodybuilder physique, unnatural waist, distorted anatomy, deformed hands, extra fingers, missing fingers, duplicated smartphone, incorrect arm position, stiff pose, floating clothing, unrealistic fabric, cartoon, anime, CGI, beard, mustache, oversaturated colors, excessive sharpening, blurry face, low resolution.
