The complete prompt
Create an ultra-realistic 8K UHD DSLR-quality photographic recreation of the uploaded SCENE REFERENCE IMAGE, preserving the reference SAME-TO-SAME with maximum visual fidelity and zero creative reinterpretation.
SUBJECT & IDENTITY: Preserve the exact visible facial identity of the reference subject. Maintain the same facial structure, face shape, forehead, cheek structure, jawline, eyes and eye spacing, eyebrows, nose anatomy, lips, ears, hairline, natural asymmetry, skin tone, skin texture and all distinctive facial characteristics. Preserve the same youthful appearance and natural proportions. If a separate [MY FACE] identity reference is provided, replace ONLY the subject's face with [MY FACE] while keeping the original hairstyle direction, head position, expression, lighting interaction and every other scene element unchanged. No beautification or facial redesign.
HAIR & EXPRESSION: Thick, naturally tousled dark black hair with soft volume and irregular strands falling naturally across the forehead. Preserve the exact hairstyle direction and texture. Calm, relaxed expression with a subtle closed-mouth smile, relaxed eyes, and direct engagement with the camera.
POSE & BODY: Seated casually in a black chair, body turned slightly toward camera. One knee is raised prominently toward the left foreground while the other leg remains lower. Left elbow/forearm is raised with the hand resting naturally beside the temple/head. Right forearm rests downward across the raised/lower leg, with the hand relaxed. Preserve the exact hand positions, finger placement, elbow angles, torso inclination, shoulder position and leg geometry.
CLOTHING: Loose black long-sleeve button-up shirt with a simple collar, dark matte fabric, natural folds, realistic stitching and subtle highlights. Sleeves rolled/folded around the forearms. Light cream/off-white trousers with relaxed fabric, visible natural creases and rolled cuffs. Preserve the exact clothing fit, folds, seams and proportions.
ACCESSORIES: Black wristband/bracelet on the raised wrist. Dark round wristwatch with black strap on the opposite wrist, clearly visible on the lower forearm. Preserve their exact placement, proportions, reflections and material appearance.
COMPOSITION & FRAMING: Vertical portrait composition, approximately 3:4 aspect ratio, matching the 1152×1536 reference framing. Medium-full seated portrait with the subject occupying most of the central frame. Keep the raised knee entering prominently from the lower-left foreground, subject's head around the upper-middle region, and chair extending toward the right and lower background. Preserve the exact crop and spatial relationships.
CAMERA: Professional full-frame DSLR/mirrorless photography, approximately 50–70mm portrait focal length, natural perspective, camera positioned around eye/chest level, straight-on slightly elevated seated perspective. No wide-angle distortion. Sharp subject rendering with realistic optical falloff.
LIGHTING: Soft warm natural window/daylight illumination coming primarily from the upper-left/front-left side. Gentle highlights across the face, hair and forearms with soft directional shadows. Subtle sunlight patterns and organic leafy shadows fall across the pale wall and upper background. Maintain realistic skin illumination, smooth tonal transitions and physically accurate light falloff.
ENVIRONMENT: Minimal sophisticated indoor portrait setting. Warm light-gray/beige wall behind the subject. A partially visible black-framed minimalist botanical artwork appears on the left wall. A leafy green indoor plant occupies the upper-right corner and extends partially into the background. A black upholstered chair with curved contours surrounds the subject on the right and lower portion. Preserve the exact placement and visibility of all background objects.
DEPTH OF FIELD: Moderate shallow depth of field. Subject's face, hair and clothing remain highly detailed and sharply resolved while background elements gradually soften. Natural optical bokeh and realistic focus transition without artificial blur halos.
COLOR & GRADING: Warm neutral cinematic color palette: natural medium skin tones, deep blacks in the shirt and chair, soft cream trousers, muted beige-gray wall and natural green foliage. Gentle warm highlights, controlled contrast, slightly lifted shadows, realistic dynamic range and subtle professional editorial color grading. Preserve natural colors rather than oversaturating.
IMAGE QUALITY & OPTICS: Extremely detailed photorealism, authentic DSLR rendering, realistic skin pores and fine hair strands, physically accurate fabric texture, natural wrinkles, realistic watch and bracelet materials, accurate shadows and reflections, high dynamic range, clean highlight roll-off, subtle lens character, natural micro-contrast and delicate film-like grain. Mild natural bloom around brighter highlights only. No excessive sharpening, no artificial HDR, no plastic skin and no computational-looking rendering.
FINAL RESULT: The output must appear as a genuine high-end professional portrait photograph captured in-camera, faithfully matching the uploaded reference in subject placement, facial appearance, pose, clothing, accessories, environment, lighting, perspective, framing, color, depth of field and photographic character.
