The complete prompt

Use the uploaded photo as the strict identity reference. Preserve the person’s exact facial identity, facial structure, skin tone, age, natural expression, and proportions. Do not alter, beautify, reshape, de-age, or replace the face.

Create a photorealistic 1980s Indian retro portrait of a stylish young South Asian man casually leaning against a rustic roadside tea stall.

He has thick, naturally messy 1980s wavy dark hair, a groomed beard and moustache, and vintage dark sunglasses. He wears a loose paisley-patterned vintage shirt with the top buttons open and sleeves rolled up, high-waisted wide-leg cream trousers with a dark brown belt, and classic dark brown leather loafers.

Pose: relaxed and confident, leaning against a wooden pillar, one hand in his trouser pocket and the other holding a small glass cup of Indian chai, one leg casually crossed over the other, looking naturally to the side.

Background: authentic old Indian roadside tea stall with rustic wooden structure, metal kettle, glass tea cups, benches, handwritten Gujarati-style signage, hanging packets, parked scooters and trees visible outside. Make the environment feel genuinely period-accurate.

Warm natural afternoon sunlight, cinematic shadows, shallow depth of field, realistic skin texture, natural colors and detailed clothing.

Make it look like an authentic 1980s 35mm analog photograph with warm Kodak-style tones, slightly faded colors, organic film grain, subtle halation, mild lens softness and realistic old-film imperfections.

Photorealistic, nostalgic Indian 1980s cinema aesthetic, natural body proportions, realistic hands, cinematic full-body composition, vertical 9:16.

No modern objects, smartphones, modern clothing, contemporary hairstyle, digital-looking skin, HDR, excessive sharpening, heavy sepia, VHS effect, distorted hands, extra fingers, or altered identity.
