Moody Cinematic Bus Portrait

Use the uploaded user photo as the **ONLY source of identity and facial appearance** for the final human subject. Preserve the user's exact recognizable identity with maximum fidelity: facial structure, proportions, face shape, forehead, hairline, eyebrows, natural eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, mouth structure, cheeks, cheekbones, jawline, chin, skin tone, natural skin texture, hair characteristics, facial hair if present, and every distinctive facial feature. **Do not copy the identity or facial features of the reference subject. Do not beautify, redesign, slim, age, de-age, masculinize, feminize, or reinterpret the user's face. The user's photo defines WHO the person is; the reference image defines HOW that person appears in the scene.**
Recreate the reference image as a highly photorealistic cinematic photograph inside an older city/public transit bus. Place the user's identity as the single main subject, seated alone approximately in the center of the bus, several rows behind the foreground seats. The subject is facing generally toward the camera with a straight, quiet posture, shoulders relaxed and slightly forward, body aligned with the central aisle. Reproduce the reference head position and orientation: head held mostly upright with a subtle natural forward/downward inclination. The face should be clearly visible beneath the hood. Preserve the reference's restrained, serious, introspective emotional state: neutral-to-somber expression, relaxed eyebrows, slightly heavy/tired eyes, closed relaxed lips, no smile, no exaggerated emotion. The subject's gaze should be directed essentially toward the camera/photographer with the same distant, emotionally detached look seen in the reference. **Transfer this expression, eye direction, mouth position, eyebrow position, and head pose from the reference onto the user's identity, regardless of the expression or gaze in the user's source photo.**
Match the reference clothing closely: a muted gray-blue hooded sweatshirt with the hood pulled over the head, layered beneath a dark charcoal/black jacket or coat. Keep the hood naturally framing the user's face without obscuring recognizable facial features. Clothing should appear slightly worn, realistic, soft and textured, with natural folds and subtle moisture/cool-weather character. No unnecessary accessories or jewelry unless naturally present in the user's identity.
Recreate the exact visual composition of the reference: vertical portrait orientation, approximately **9:16**, camera positioned inside the bus facing toward the seated subject from the front/lower-middle seating area. Use a centered, symmetrical composition with the subject near the vertical center of the image, while multiple empty bus seats dominate the foreground and create strong leading lines toward the subject. The nearest seats occupy the lower portion of the frame and are partially cropped by the image edges. Their backs are large, rounded rectangular forms in muted teal/blue-green upholstery with small abstract yellow/gold curved patterns. Two prominent foreground seat backs frame the lower left and lower right sides, with additional seat rails and seat backs extending toward the subject.
Show the bus interior in detail: rows of aged teal/green upholstered seats, dark metal or painted tubular handrails, vertical poles, overhead supports, large windows on both sides, and the central aisle leading toward the seated subject. Preserve the older urban public-transit character, slightly worn materials, subtle grime, realistic scratches, muted surfaces, and authentic structural details. Through the windows, show a blurred dense city environment with indistinct buildings, street lights, reflections, and rainy/cool-weather urban atmosphere. Avoid readable advertisements, logos, phone-interface elements, or unrelated text.
Use a cinematic cool color palette dominated by deep teal, blue-green, charcoal, muted gray, and subdued yellow highlights. Reproduce the reference's low-key atmospheric lighting: dim ambient daylight filtering through the bus windows combined with soft cool overhead fluorescent lights. Create gentle highlights along the hood, seat rails, window frames, and hair while keeping the surrounding interior dark and moody. Include realistic reflections on the windows and subtle reflected light on metallic surfaces. Maintain soft shadows without crushing facial detail.
Use a natural documentary-style photographic perspective with approximately a 35mm–50mm full-frame equivalent lens, camera around seated eye level or slightly below the subject's eye line. Preserve the reference's moderate depth of field: the main subject's face and upper body should be the sharpest area, while the nearest seat backs and distant city scenery fall into progressively softer focus. Add subtle cinematic film grain, realistic optical softness, restrained contrast, natural skin rendering, atmospheric haze, and authentic low-light photographic texture. Avoid an overly polished studio appearance.
The final image must feel like a frame from a melancholic contemporary cinematic film: lonely, quiet, introspective, cold, urban, and emotionally restrained. Preserve the exact hierarchy of the reference—**foreground bus seats first, seated hooded subject centered behind them, receding interior and windows in the background**—without changing the scene into a different location or composition. Keep realistic human anatomy, natural hands and body proportions, physically accurate clothing folds, believable perspective, and photorealistic skin. **Identity preservation is absolute: the final person must unmistakably remain the person from the uploaded user photo, while every transferable visual characteristic—expression, emotion, gaze, head pose, body pose, clothing, framing, environment, lighting, perspective, color grading, and cinematic mood—comes from the reference image.**
