Use the uploaded reference photo as the exclusive source of the adult male subject’s identity. Preserve his exact facial features, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, jawline, hairstyle, skin texture, and natural imperfections with zero identity drift.

Create a vertical 4:5 fine-art editorial portrait in a retro-futuristic conceptual photography style, with an authentic vintage analog atmosphere, sophisticated visual storytelling, exceptionally detailed textures, cinematic dynamic range, and ultra-high-resolution, 300-DPI-quality detail. Use a premium Midjourney-inspired conceptual editorial photography aesthetic.

An adult man sits confidently among a carefully arranged stack of authentic vintage CRT televisions from the 1970s and 1980s. He wears a deep teal-green jacket, a cream-white shirt, a dark patterned tie, and understated accessories. His hands rest naturally over the central television. Each television screen displays a different fragmented visual perspective of the same man, suggesting identity, self-perception, and the relationship between reality and the image presented to the world. Keep the arrangement visually balanced, with realistic glass screens, aged plastic housings, metal knobs, and subtle signs of wear.

Use a straight-on medium-full portrait, a slightly low camera position, natural anatomy, carefully controlled perspective, and a realistic 50mm editorial lens aesthetic. Preserve the conceptual studio composition and the tactile quality of analog photography.

Use strong directional studio lighting with deep cinematic shadows and brilliant, controlled highlights. Keep facial exposure restrained, with selective illumination on the cheekbones, jawline, and hands. Add soft directional rim light around the shoulders and hair. Introduce a subtle noir-style shadow pattern across the face without completely obscuring the identity.

Preserve the original teal-green, muted cream, warm beige, and aged black palette. Shift pure whites toward creamy ivory and deep blacks toward midnight navy. Maintain an authentic warm vintage character without introducing excessive blue tint or turning the image into a monochrome noir scene.

Finish with photorealistic vintage editorial photography, realistic CRT glass reflections, fine analog film grain, natural skin pores, precise fabric texture, rich tonal separation, premium art direction, exceptional micro-detail, and a high-resolution, print-quality finish.

Avoid: female subjects, altered facial identity, generic AI faces, excessive beautification, distorted hands, extra fingers, duplicated limbs, futuristic flat screens, modern televisions, plastic-looking skin, excessive HDR, crushed facial detail, artificial neon colors, pure white highlights, distracting text, logos, watermarks, and low resolution.
