Create an ultra-realistic editorial lifestyle portrait using ${reference-face-image}. Preserve 100% facial identity consistency. Depict a lean young Southeast Asian man seated casually while taking a POV selfie with one arm naturally extended toward the camera. Preserve the original pose exactly, including the relaxed seated posture, slightly elevated selfie angle, subtly turned shoulders, direct eye contact, and calm body language.

Give him a cool, indifferent, quietly confident, subtly defiant expression, with relaxed lips and focused dark brown eyes. Include a defined jawline, naturally groomed eyebrows, a light mustache connected to a neatly trimmed goatee, faint beard shadow, hyper-realistic pores, soft skin texture, and subtle facial imperfections. Use natural masculine grooming with invisible matte makeup, a lightly corrected complexion, natural lip tone, and soft under-eye brightening.

(Hair Style:1.2) Layered, textured two-tone hairstyle with dark natural roots and warm ash-blonde highlights, a messy voluminous top, feathered strands, soft natural waves, realistic individual hair fibers, matte texture, and subtle movement. Dress him in a fitted premium beige crew-neck cotton T-shirt with realistic fabric weave, natural stretch across the shoulders and chest, soft folds, and short fitted sleeves. Pair it with olive khaki trousers and a black leather belt with a polished metal buckle for a clean casual aesthetic. (Professional poses controlled with ControlNet:1.2).

Set the scene in a simple urban parking or garage area, with a motorcycle partially visible behind him, muted architectural panels, and minimal distractions. Create a contemporary lifestyle editorial atmosphere with soft blur, lo-fi saturation, gentle bloom, cinematic film grain, muted earthy colors, and premium editorial color grading. Use highly directional side lighting: warm golden highlights across one side of the face and velvet-soft shadows on the other, sculpting facial structure and emphasizing skin texture.

Use a low-angle POV camera shot that creates subtle dominance while retaining an authentic selfie perspective. Compose using the Rule of Thirds, Golden Ratio, balanced negative space, strong leading lines, and clean framing. Simulate a telephoto 85mm lens (85–200mm range), f/1.8, shallow depth of field, creamy background separation, soft diffused light, uneven ambient lighting, auto-adjusting ISO, and HDR realism. Aim for photorealistic skin, fine-art photography, premium commercial quality, immersive realism, lifelike detail, ultra-high resolution, and the best possible quality.

Avoid extra fingers, extra limbs, duplicate arms, deformed anatomy, distorted faces, asymmetrical eyes, plastic skin, waxy texture, oversaturation, over-sharpening, excessive blur on the subject, low resolution, CGI, anime, cartoons, 3D renders, paintings, watermarks, logos, text, cropped hands, unrealistic body proportions, artifacts, and motion blur.
