The complete prompt
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, face shape, forehead, eyebrows, natural eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, mouth proportions, cheekbones, jawline, chin, skin tone, natural skin texture, hairline, hair characteristics, facial hair if present, and every distinctive facial feature. **Do not copy the identity or facial appearance of the reference subject. Do not beautify, redesign, slim, age, de-age, feminize, masculinize, or otherwise reinterpret the user's identity. The user's photo determines WHO the person is; the reference image determines HOW that person appears in the scene.**
Recreate the reference image as closely as possible: a cinematic, photorealistic fashion portrait of the user's identity standing casually against a plain warm beige interior wall. Frame the subject in a vertical portrait composition from approximately the upper thighs to slightly above the head, with the body positioned centrally and occupying most of the frame. The subject faces generally toward the camera with a relaxed, confident, slightly languid posture. Both hands are inserted naturally into the front trouser pockets, elbows slightly bent and arms hanging close to the body. Shoulders are relaxed rather than rigid. Torso remains upright with a subtle natural lean against or toward the wall. Legs are mostly straight with a relaxed fashion-editorial stance, maintaining the same overall body positioning and proportions as the reference.
Reproduce the reference subject's **head position, expression, emotion, and gaze** rather than those from the user's source photo. The head is held slightly tilted and subtly angled while remaining predominantly forward-facing. The expression is serious, calm, introspective, and slightly detached, with relaxed facial muscles and no smile. The eyes are partially relaxed and directed toward the camera/viewer with a subdued, confident gaze. Keep the eyelids, eyebrows, mouth tension, and overall emotional character consistent with the reference. Do not transfer the expression, gaze, or head pose from the user's uploaded photo.
Dress the user's subject in the same outfit and styling as the reference: a deep burgundy/wine-red tailored blazer with a clean structured silhouette, worn open over a loose white button-down shirt. The white shirt has a wide, naturally spread collar and several upper buttons left undone, creating a relaxed slightly undone neckline. The shirt hangs naturally with subtle folds and creases rather than appearing perfectly pressed. Add high-waisted light beige/cream tailored trousers with a relaxed straight-to-wide-leg silhouette and a visible waistband, belt loops, front pleats/folds, and natural fabric creasing. The trousers should sit comfortably at the waist and continue out of frame near the lower portion of the composition. No unnecessary accessories or additional garments.
Use the reference's minimalist indoor environment: a smooth matte warm beige/taupe wall occupying the entire background, with no distracting furniture, decorations, artwork, windows, text, logos, or objects. The subject stands very close to the wall so that a strong, sharply defined shadow of the head, tousled hair, shoulders, and upper body is cast onto the wall behind and to the subject's right. Preserve the distinctive large elongated silhouette of the shadow and its relationship to the subject.
Recreate the lighting precisely: strong directional warm sunlight entering from the upper-left/front-left side, producing dramatic high-contrast illumination across the face, white shirt, blazer, and trousers. One side of the face and clothing is brightly illuminated while the opposite side falls into rich natural shadow. The sunlight should feel like late-afternoon or golden-hour window light indoors, with warm neutral highlights and deep but detailed shadows. Preserve realistic skin rendering and subtle specular highlights without excessive smoothing. The wall should show the same warm tonal gradient and pronounced shadow contrast.
Camera should be approximately at eye level or slightly below eye level, positioned directly in front of the subject with a subtle natural perspective. Use a portrait-oriented lens perspective approximately equivalent to a 50–70mm full-frame lens, avoiding extreme wide-angle distortion. Maintain realistic body proportions, natural facial perspective, and moderate background compression. The composition should feel like a premium contemporary fashion editorial photograph rather than a studio headshot.
Photorealistic high-end editorial photography, cinematic natural sunlight, realistic skin pores and texture, authentic fabric texture, detailed blazer material, natural shirt wrinkles, realistic trouser folds, physically accurate cast shadows, subtle filmic contrast, warm muted color grading, deep burgundy and cream/beige palette, understated luxury, moody masculine/fashion-editorial atmosphere, crisp subject detail with gentle tonal falloff. Preserve the reference's slightly raw, intimate photographic character rather than making it overly glossy or artificial.
Maintain the reference image's overall framing, subject scale, posture, clothing arrangement, wall proximity, shadow placement, lighting direction, tonal balance, and visual mood. Do not introduce new props, jewelry, sunglasses, hats, text, typography, logos, scenery, furniture, dramatic effects, or additional people. The final result must unmistakably depict **the person from the uploaded user photo** while reproducing the reference image's pose, expression, gaze, head position, clothing, composition, environment, lighting, shadows, camera perspective, and overall aesthetic.
