Generated_image (image)

Use the uploaded image as the exclusive facial reference. Preserve the exact identity, facial features, face shape, eyes, nose, lips, jaw, skin tone and natural skin texture, apparent age, and facial hair. Do not alter or beautify the face. No glasses.

SCENE AND COMPOSITION:
Create a hyperrealistic, cinematic photograph of a man holding an enormous white coffee mug toward the camera. His face appears behind the mug, with a calm, confident, natural expression.

The glossy, oversized white ceramic mug fills the center foreground. It is full of freshly brewed black coffee, topped with a golden crema, with abundant steam rising in elegant spirals.

SCREEN-PRINTED DESIGN ON THE MUG:
On the front of the mug, show a photorealistic screen-printed illustration of the same man, reproducing his identity from the reference image. In the illustration, he holds a smaller coffee mug containing a reproduction of the same scene. Repeat the image inside itself in successively smaller frames, creating a striking infinite recursion effect (Droste effect).

The mugs depicted within the printed design are also white, with dark brown coffee and visible steam. Each repetition preserves the scene's consistency and the man's facial features.

LIGHTING AND STYLE:
Use a subtly textured charcoal-black background, cinematic side lighting, warm reflections on the ceramic, realistic volumetric steam, deep shadows, and fine detail in the skin, coffee, and hands. One hand holds the mug's handle; the other may rest on a dark wooden surface.

Make it a high-end professional advertising photograph with natural depth of field, realistic colors, balanced contrast, detailed textures, a vertical 4:5 composition, and 8K quality.

RESTRICTIONS: Do not include cameras, cigars, cigarettes, glasses, or distracting objects. The mug must be the main subject, and the screen-printed design must be naturally integrated onto its curved surface. Preserve the identity from the uploaded image in every repeated portrait.
