The complete prompt

> Create a highly realistic vertical 4:5 cinematic late-1980s/early-1990s American urban retro fashion photograph. Use the uploaded reference image as the primary identity reference and preserve the person’s face exactly. Do NOT change, redesign, beautify, replace, age, or reinterpret the facial identity. Maintain the same facial structure, facial proportions, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, jawline, cheekbones, skin tone, hairstyle, hairline, and distinctive natural facial characteristics. The person must remain clearly recognizable as the same individual from the reference image.

Keep the same face and identity, while recreating the scene as a professional vintage fashion photograph: the young man casually leaning against a classic yellow vintage taxi on a busy downtown American street during warm golden hour.

POSE: Relaxed leaning pose against the taxi, one hand naturally resting near the vehicle and the other inside the jeans pocket, body slightly angled toward camera, confident calm expression, natural full-body composition.

OUTFIT: Vintage blue denim trucker jacket with faded red/orange sleeves, striped cream/mustard/blue/brown button-up shirt underneath, relaxed light-wash high-waisted jeans, brown leather belt, subtle vintage wristwatch.

TAXI: Authentic classic boxy yellow vintage American taxi, chrome bumpers, rectangular headlights, black-and-yellow checker stripe, roof taxi sign, realistic aged paint and reflections.

BACKGROUND: Busy downtown city street, historic multi-story buildings, pedestrians, storefronts, distant vintage cars and yellow taxis, softly blurred atmospheric background.

LIGHTING: Warm golden-hour sunlight, natural rim light around the hair and shoulders, soft facial illumination, realistic shadows, glowing reflections on the taxi and surrounding architecture.

CAMERA: 50mm lens, eye-level perspective, vertical 4:5 framing, natural proportions, professional fashion-editorial photography, shallow-to-medium depth of field.

FILM LOOK: Warm amber and golden tones, faded denim blue, muted red, cream and mustard, subtle analog film grain, gentle halation, soft highlight roll-off, authentic late-1980s/early-1990s photographic character.

CRITICAL IDENTITY PRESERVATION: Face must remain 100% consistent with the uploaded reference. Do not generate a new face. Do not alter facial geometry or distinctive features. Preserve the exact identity while changing only the requested clothing, environment, pose, lighting, and photographic styling.

NEGATIVE PROMPT:
changed face, different person, altered identity, face replacement, facial redesign, beautified face, generic face, different eyes, different nose, different lips, different jawline, different eyebrows, altered facial proportions, changed skin tone, changed hairstyle, face morphing, age change, celebrity likeness, plastic skin, CGI, 3D render, cartoon, distorted face, deformed hands, extra fingers, bad anatomy, duplicate person, blurry face, excessive HDR, oversharpening, watermark, text artifacts, low resolution.
