ULTRA-REALISTIC 8K UHD SAME-TO-SAME PHOTOGRAPHIC RECREATION — Use the uploaded SCENE REFERENCE IMAGE as the absolute visual blueprint. Recreate the photograph with maximum possible fidelity. Do not redesign, beautify, stylize, modernize, exaggerate, or creatively reinterpret any element.

SUBJECT & IDENTITY: A young male subject positioned in the foreground on a waterfront/pier, shown from approximately mid-thigh upward. Preserve the exact facial identity from [MY FACE] if provided, replacing ONLY the original subject's face while keeping the original head orientation, facial proportions, expression, hairstyle placement, and all scene geometry unchanged. Maintain authentic natural facial anatomy, jawline, cheekbones, forehead, eyes, nose, lips, eyebrows, ears, skin texture, pores, natural asymmetry, hairline, and age appearance. No AI face reconstruction or beautification.

HAIR & ACCESSORIES: Thick, naturally tousled dark black hair with soft volume and irregular strands falling naturally across the forehead. The subject wears narrow black rectangular sunglasses with dark lenses, thin dark frames, and realistic reflections; sunglasses sit naturally across the upper face.

EXPRESSION & POSE: Head tilted slightly downward and turned subtly toward the subject's left, gaze directed downward behind the sunglasses, creating a quiet, introspective candid expression. Shoulders relaxed. Torso faces generally toward the camera. One hand reaches across the body to adjust/roll the opposite shirt sleeve; the other arm hangs naturally downward in front of the torso. Preserve the exact hand placement, finger positioning, wrist angles, arm proportions, and relaxed body posture from the reference.

CLOTHING: Crisp white long-sleeve button-down shirt, lightweight cotton-like material, worn naturally with the upper buttons partially open. Classic pointed collar, realistic button placket, subtle fabric folds and wrinkles, sleeves casually rolled upward around the forearms. A black jacket is loosely draped over/held against the opposite forearm, producing natural heavy fabric folds and deep shadows. Preserve exact clothing proportions, folds, placement, and material behavior.

ENVIRONMENT: Outdoor waterfront promenade/pier during golden hour. Large body of water occupies the left half of the composition, with bright sunlight reflecting across the rippling surface. Concrete/stone pier extends from the foreground toward the right background. A small dock/platform and several distant pedestrians appear on the right side. Across the water, a hazy shoreline rises gently with a distant modern city skyline consisting of softly blurred high-rise buildings. Keep all background elements in their original approximate positions and relative scale.

COMPOSITION & FRAMING: Vertical portrait composition, approximately 4:5, closely matching the reference's 1249×1536 framing. Subject dominates the center-right/center of the frame while the water and sun reflection create negative space on the left. Camera positioned approximately at upper-torso/chest height with a slightly downward-looking perspective toward the subject. Preserve the original crop, subject scale, horizon placement, pier geometry, and background spacing.

CAMERA & OPTICS: Professional full-frame DSLR/mirrorless photographic appearance, approximately 50–70mm portrait focal length, natural perspective with minimal wide-angle distortion. Moderate shallow depth of field, approximately f/2.8–f/4, keeping the subject predominantly sharp while progressively softening the distant dock, pedestrians, shoreline, and skyline. Natural optical falloff, realistic focus transition, subtle lens compression, and authentic photographic micro-contrast.

LIGHTING: Warm late-afternoon/early-evening golden-hour backlighting. Sun positioned low toward the left/background, creating strong luminous reflections across the water and a warm rim/highlight along illuminated edges while the subject's face and clothing remain comparatively softly shadowed. Preserve realistic directional shadows, gentle ambient fill, subtle highlights on the white shirt, dark tonal separation in the black jacket and hair, and natural exposure roll-off.

COLOR & GRADING: Warm muted cinematic color palette with creamy beige highlights, soft golden sunlight, neutral whites, deep natural blacks, subdued blue-gray water, and slightly desaturated distant background tones. Gentle filmic contrast, restrained saturation, smooth highlight roll-off, realistic skin tones, subtle warm atmospheric haze, and no artificial teal-orange grading.

REALISM & TEXTURE: Genuine high-end DSLR photograph, physically accurate skin texture, individual hair strands, realistic pores, natural shirt weave, cotton wrinkles, jacket fabric texture, realistic hands and fingers, concrete surface texture, water ripples and specular reflections. Preserve natural imperfections and photographic randomness. High dynamic range without an HDR-overprocessed appearance. Fine natural photographic grain, subtle sensor noise, realistic shadow detail, authentic highlight clipping, and physically plausible reflections.

OPTICAL CHARACTERISTICS: Very subtle natural lens bloom around the brightest water reflections, delicate atmospheric haze over the distant skyline, soft highlight diffusion, realistic depth-of-field bokeh, extremely mild chromatic aberration only at high-contrast edges, no artificial sharpening halos, no excessive clarity, no fake glow, no excessive lens flare, and no noticeable distortion.

FINAL QUALITY: 8K UHD, ultra-photorealistic, DSLR-quality, professional lifestyle/editorial photography, realistic exposure, physically accurate lighting, natural skin rendering, high micro-detail, realistic depth, authentic photographic grain, true-to-life materials, maximum image fidelity. The final result must look like a genuine photograph captured in-camera—not CGI, digital art, or an AI-generated image.

ABSOLUTE PRESERVATION RULE: Same subject placement, same pose, same body positioning, same clothing, same sunglasses, same hairstyle, same waterfront, same pier, same skyline, same lighting direction, same background arrangement, same perspective, same framing, same color palette, same depth of field, same photographic atmosphere. Change ONLY the identity/face using [MY FACE] when a second identity reference is supplied.

NEGATIVE PROMPT: cartoon, anime, illustration, CGI, 3D render, painting, plastic skin, artificial face, generated face, face morphing, identity drift, different person, beautified face, facial symmetry correction, altered jawline, altered nose, altered eyes, altered lips, altered skin tone, age change, excessive smoothing, airbrushed skin, beauty filter, oversharpening, HDR effect, excessive saturation, teal-orange grading, fake bokeh, excessive lens flare, excessive bloom, distorted hands, extra fingers, missing fingers, malformed anatomy, duplicate limbs, warped sunglasses, altered clothing, changed pose, changed background, changed composition, wide-angle distortion, extreme fisheye, unnatural shadows, fake reflections, floating objects, artificial textures, low resolution, blur, compression artifacts, watermark, text, logo.
