The complete prompt

Edit this photo. Keep the subject's exact facial bone structure, eye 
shape and color, nose shape, lip shape, jawline, and skin tone 100% 
identical to the original photo. Body build and proportions unchanged. 
This is non-negotiable.

LIGHTING SETUP (as a real photographer would dial it in): Key light — 
low golden sun over the city skyline, acting as a soft warm key from 
camera-left at a low angle. Fill — soft ambient blue-grey twilight 
sky from above, gently balancing the warm key at close to a 2:1 ratio 
so shadows stay soft. Rim light — the low sun grazes his hair and 
shoulder edge from behind, creating a thin golden rim separating him 
from the darkening skyline. Catchlights in his eyes should be warm 
and elongated, reflecting the setting sun.

LENS & OPTICS: Simulate an 85mm lens at f/2.0 — flattering facial 
compression, background rendered as soft creamy bokeh with distant 
building lights turning into soft glowing orbs, gentle fall-off in 
sharpness away from the focal point, faint natural vignette at the 
corners.

FILM/COLOR SCIENCE: Emulate a warm-cool cinematic film response — 
sunset highlights bloom softly rather than clipping, shadows lifted 
with a faint blue-grey tint rather than crushed black, warm amber 
skin midtones held steady against the cooler blue skyline for natural 
depth separation.

DIRECTED POSE (as if a photographer is instructing him in real time): 
Standing at the rooftop ledge with one hand resting on the railing, 
body angled at three-quarters to the camera, weight settled on the 
back foot, head turned back over one shoulder toward the lens, jacket 
lightly lifted by the evening breeze.

GENUINE DIRECTED EXPRESSION: A calm, confident half-smile with a 
relaxed jaw and steady eyes engaged with the camera — the natural 
composed look right after a photographer says "lean into the railing, 
now glance back at me," not a stiff or forced grin.

RETOUCH PIPELINE: Frequency-separation-style retouching — smooth 
tonal transitions on skin while fully preserving fine pore-level 
texture and natural color variation under the mixed warm/cool 
lighting. Subtle dodge-and-burn to retain natural facial planes, no 
flattened or washed-out glow.

FINISHING: Fine film grain overlay at low opacity, very slight 
chromatic softness at the frame edges as a real lens would render, no 
digital sharpening halos, natural imperfect crop as if not perfectly 
composed in-camera.

Ensure zero facial distortion, correct hand anatomy, and consistent 
shadow/light-source logic between the warm sunset key and cool sky 
fill.
