Create an extremely photorealistic vertical 4:5 photograph of the person in the reference image, captured in a genuine moment of relaxed, spontaneous laughter. The image should feel like candid analog photography.

IDENTITY
Use the reference image as the exclusive source of the person's identity. Preserve their real face, head shape, eyes, nose, mouth, teeth, eyebrows, skin tone, apparent age, body proportions, and individual characteristics. Do not replace their face, create a generic person, or apply beauty filters. Keep natural skin texture, small imperfections, real asymmetries, and an authentic human appearance.

POSE AND EXPRESSION
The person is casually leaning against a plain wall, with their torso slightly tilted and shoulders relaxed. One arm is raised toward the face. The hand crosses the eyes and upper part of the nose, partially covering them in the spontaneous gesture of someone laughing so hard they can barely look at the camera. The fingers are naturally separated and slightly curved, following the forehead and eye area. The palm must not completely cover the mouth.

The head is tilted slightly backward and to one side. The mouth is open in genuine laughter, with naturally visible teeth. The cheeks are raised and the corners of the mouth are extended. The expression conveys genuine amusement, without any stiffness or posed quality. The other arm is relaxed and partly out of frame.

Render the hand anatomy flawlessly, with five fingers, natural joints, and coherent proportions. Do not distort the face where it interacts with the hand.

HAIR AND APPEARANCE
The person's hair is loose and naturally moving, falling over the shoulders and the front of the T-shirt. Preserve the hair type, color, and characteristics shown in the reference image, adapting its volume and movement to the composition. A few strands may be out of place around the face to reinforce the feeling of a real, unprepared moment.

CLOTHING
The person wears a casual, comfortable-fit, short-sleeved cotton T-shirt in white with a subtle cool tint. Give the fabric natural folds, cotton texture, and realistic drape. The T-shirt may have a centered typographic print inspired by relaxed Brazilian urban T-shirt designs, using the phrase “${shirt-text:Nós vamos sorrir}” in elegant dark lettering, if exact text rendering is possible. Do not add unnecessary accessories. If tattoos are visible in the reference image, preserve them faithfully and do not invent designs.

SETTING AND COMPOSITION
Use a minimal, plain indoor wall in a slightly grayish white, with subtle lighting variations and natural texture. The person occupies most of the frame, with a little space around the head and shoulders. The composition should feel intimate, casual, and documentary, with no artificial set dressing.

LIGHTING AND COLOR
Use soft, diffused ambient side lighting, with delicate shadows on the wall and around the face. Apply analog-style color grading with warm skin tones, slightly bluish whites, subtly purplish shadows, and moderate contrast. Add fine photographic film grain, organic texture, slight optical softness, and small natural imperfections like those of a developed and scanned photograph. The image should evoke a spontaneous photograph from the 2000s with a contemporary editorial sensibility.

CAMERA AND FRAMING
Make a vertical 4:5 photograph with a medium-close crop, framed from the waist or chest to just above the head. Position the camera approximately at face height, with natural perspective and no excessive distortion. Use a lens equivalent to 50 mm and an approximate aperture of f/2.8. Focus on the face and hand, with natural transitions in sharpness across the hair and wall. Make the photograph feel like it was captured at the exact instant of unexpected laughter, not like a rehearsed advertising pose.

PHOTOGRAPHIC REALISM
Use ultra-photorealistic candid lifestyle photography, authentic human expression, genuine laughter, realistic skin texture, natural teeth, anatomically correct hands, individual hair strands, analog film grain, imperfect spontaneous composition, subtle color fringing, realistic ambient light, and an editorial documentary aesthetic.

CONSTRAINTS
Do not turn the image into an illustration, painting, drawing, or CGI. Do not create plastic skin, an artificial smile, excessively uniform teeth, deformed eyes, extra fingers, fused hands, duplicated arms, or impossible anatomy. Do not exaggerate blur, grain, or chromatic aberration. Do not make the laughter look artificial or alter the person's facial identity.

PRIORITIES
Prioritize the person's real identity, the hand partially covering the eyes, spontaneous laughter, loose voluminous hair, casual T-shirt, analog aesthetic, and the appearance of a genuine photograph.

Parameters
