Using the provided photo as a reference, create a photorealistic scene from a first-person perspective inside a bright subway carriage. Preserve the person's facial features.

In the foreground, a hand holds a pencil and a spiral-bound sketchbook. On the page is a black-and-white portrait sketch of the same person looking directly toward the camera; their clothing is the only colored element in the sketch.

Opposite, the same person sits looking at their phone, wearing the outfit from the reference image. Through the subway window, show an urban cityscape. Other passengers are partially visible on both sides and are not blurred.

Lighting: soft, natural daylight.
Camera: shallow depth of field and a cinematic atmosphere.
Details: hyperrealistic skin, detailed facial textures, and a natural expression.
Quality: 8K photorealism.
Aspect ratio: 4:5 vertical.
