The complete prompt
Create an ultra-realistic cinematic 1980s-inspired vintage portrait of the person in the uploaded reference photo.
IMPORTANT — IDENTITY PRESERVATION:
Use the uploaded photo as the primary facial identity reference. Preserve the exact same person and recognizable facial identity. Keep the same face shape, forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips, jawline, moustache, skin tone, facial proportions, hairline and natural facial characteristics. Do not change the person's identity or make the face look like a different person. Do not excessively beautify or reshape the face.
SCENE:
Place the man outdoors in a peaceful rural/natural setting, casually standing and leaning against the trunk of a large mature tree. The tree trunk should be prominent on the left side of the frame, with textured brown bark, natural marks, moss/lichen and realistic details.
POSE:
The man is casually leaning his back/shoulder against the tree.
His body is relaxed and slightly angled toward the camera.
Both hands are naturally placed inside his trouser pockets.
One leg is slightly crossed/relaxed in front of the other.
His head is slightly tilted and he looks calmly toward the camera with a confident, serious vintage expression.

CLOTHING — 1980s VINTAGE FASHION:
Wear a classic 1980s-style dark brown oversized blazer with a slightly relaxed vintage fit.
Underneath, wear a cream/off-white vintage shirt with a wide open collar and slightly loose neckline.
The shirt should have subtle natural fabric texture and wrinkles.
Wear high-waisted, wide/pleated dark brown vintage trousers.
Add a classic dark leather belt with a simple metal buckle.
Add a vintage rectangular wristwatch.
Overall outfit should look authentic to late-1970s/1980s South Asian fashion photography.

Add classic vintage aviator sunglasses with dark slightly brown-tinted lenses and a thin metallic frame.
The sunglasses should fit naturally on the face and have subtle realistic reflections.
Keep the person's facial proportions unchanged.
