The complete prompt

ULTRA-REALISTIC 8K UHD SAME-TO-SAME PHOTOGRAPHIC RECREATION — Use the uploaded SCENE REFERENCE IMAGE as the absolute visual blueprint. Recreate the photograph with maximum possible fidelity and zero creative reinterpretation. Preserve the exact subject identity, facial anatomy, expression, pose, body proportions, composition, framing, crop, camera perspective, environment, wardrobe, accessories, lighting, color palette, depth of field, textures, and photographic character of the reference.

SUBJECT & IDENTITY: A young adult male standing outdoors beside a wooden/brown railing, shown from approximately mid-thigh/waist level upward with the lower body partially cropped. Preserve the subject's exact facial identity from the supplied reference: identical face shape, forehead, hairline, eyebrows, eye shape and spacing, eyelids, nose structure, lips, jawline, cheek volume, ears, beard and moustache pattern, natural asymmetry, skin tone, skin texture, pores, and all distinctive facial characteristics. His head is turned slightly toward the viewer's right, with his gaze directed off-camera toward the right. Expression is calm, neutral and mildly thoughtful, with naturally relaxed lips and facial muscles.

HAIR & FACIAL HAIR: Dense, naturally curly/wavy dark black-brown hair with substantial volume, loose irregular curls covering the upper forehead and extending naturally around the sides and back. Preserve the exact curl pattern, hairline and direction. Short, naturally dense dark beard with visible moustache, neatly but naturally grown along the jaw and chin; retain realistic individual hairs and subtle unevenness.

POSE & BODY POSITION: Subject stands naturally with a relaxed posture, torso facing generally toward the camera while the head turns slightly to his right. Both arms extend downward and outward toward the wooden railing. One hand rests near/on the railing at the lower-right area of the frame, while the opposite arm descends toward the lower-left edge and is partially cropped. Shoulders relaxed, elbows naturally bent/extended according to the reference. Reproduce the exact body positioning and proportions without exaggeration or posing changes.

CLOTHING: Oversized/off-white to warm cream long-sleeve sweatshirt with a soft heavyweight cotton/fleece appearance. Preserve the exact loose fit, shoulder construction, sleeve volume, ribbed cuffs and ribbed lower waistband. Reproduce the subtle fabric folds, wrinkles, seams, stitching, natural compression and shadow transitions. Include the small delicate floral/dandelion-style line artwork on the upper-left chest, the small illustrated motif around the lower-left torso, and the delicate flower/hand-style line illustration on the lower-right torso. Preserve the small handwritten-style dark text printed around the upper collar/neckline and the small text/detail on the right cuff exactly as visually present. Dark trousers are only partially visible beneath the sweatshirt near the bottom crop.

ACCESSORY: Dark rectangular smartwatch with a black/dark strap on the subject's wrist at the lower-right portion of the image. Preserve its exact placement, orientation, proportions, screen appearance and subtle reflections.

ENVIRONMENT: Outdoor natural setting overlooking a calm water/river/lake-like area. Background contains dense leafy trees and foliage predominantly on the left and upper portions, with open pale blue atmospheric space and water visible toward the right. A brown wooden railing runs horizontally through the lower portion behind the subject. Background foliage is naturally out of focus with organic irregular shapes, while the distant water/environment gradually becomes soft and atmospheric. Preserve the exact environmental arrangement and relative placement of visible foliage, sky, water and railing.

COMPOSITION & FRAMING: Vertical portrait composition, approximately 1267×1536 source aspect ratio. Subject occupies most of the central frame, with head positioned around the upper-middle region and shoulders extending broadly across the image. Maintain the same crop, subject scale, negative space, railing position, background distribution and camera height. Do not zoom, widen, recrop or rearrange any element.

CAMERA & OPTICS: Professional DSLR/mirrorless portrait photograph, natural eye-level camera perspective, approximately 50–70mm full-frame-equivalent portrait focal length, moderate perspective compression, realistic proportions and minimal lens distortion. Wide aperture around f/2.0–f/2.8, producing shallow-to-moderate depth of field: subject's face, hair and sweatshirt remain relatively sharp while foliage, water and distant environmental elements fall into a smooth natural defocus. Realistic optical falloff, subtle lens softness toward peripheral areas and authentic photographic depth.

LIGHTING: Soft warm natural late-afternoon/golden-hour daylight coming primarily from the front/right side of the scene, creating gentle warm illumination across the face, hair, sweatshirt and hands. Subtle directional highlights on the skin and cream fabric, with soft shadows beneath the hair, chin, neckline and folds of the sweatshirt. No harsh artificial studio lighting. Preserve the delicate warm sunlight filtering through surrounding foliage and the natural exposure balance between illuminated subject and brighter background.

COLOR & TONAL CHARACTER: Warm creamy cinematic photographic color grade. Soft warm skin tones, muted natural greens, slightly golden foliage, creamy ivory sweatshirt, subdued blue-gray water/sky and rich but restrained dark hair/beard. Gentle contrast, slightly lifted midtones, controlled highlights, deep but naturally detailed shadows, subtle warm highlights and neutral-to-warm overall white balance. Preserve realistic skin color rather than excessive orange/yellow grading.

PHOTOGRAPHIC REALISM: Genuine high-end DSLR portrait photography, 8K ultra-high-resolution detail, physically accurate skin texture, individual hair strands, realistic beard hairs, authentic cotton/fleece fibers, natural fabric microtexture, realistic wood grain, foliage detail and atmospheric depth. Natural HDR-like dynamic range without an artificial HDR appearance. Smooth highlight roll-off, realistic shadow detail, subtle sensor response, restrained sharpening, authentic micro-contrast and natural optical rendering.

ATMOSPHERE & FINISH: Warm peaceful outdoor cinematic atmosphere, organic photographic softness, subtle natural bloom around brighter background highlights, delicate highlight diffusion through foliage, realistic bokeh, extremely subtle film-like grain and authentic camera noise at pixel level. Preserve natural imperfections and photographic texture. No artificial beauty retouching. No plastic skin. No exaggerated clarity. No CGI appearance. The final image must look indistinguishable from a genuine professionally captured DSLR/mirrorless photograph.

ABSOLUTE FIDELITY RULE: Reproduce the reference image SAME-TO-SAME. Do not invent, remove, redesign or reposition anything. If a separate [MY FACE] reference is supplied, replace ONLY the original subject's facial identity with [MY FACE] while preserving the exact reference scene, hairstyle structure, facial-hair placement where compatible, head position, expression, body, clothing, accessories, lighting, composition, environment, camera characteristics and color grading. Identity replacement must remain completely photorealistic and anatomically consistent with the original pose and lighting.
