The complete prompt

Use my uploaded face photo as the primary identity reference. Preserve my real facial features, face shape, beard, skin tone, facial proportions, hairstyle, and overall identity with maximum accuracy.

Create an ultra-realistic cinematic **1980s South Asian café photograph** of me sitting at a small table outside a classic roadside café in a busy city. I am wearing a vintage brown leather jacket over a plain white T-shirt, high-waisted blue jeans, classic aviator sunglasses, and a simple vintage wristwatch. Give me authentic voluminous wavy 1980s hair with a subtle mullet at the back and natural facial hair.

I am casually sitting on a vintage metal café chair, one arm resting naturally on the table, holding a steaming glass of traditional tea. A classic cassette player, old newspaper, ceramic tea cup, and small ashtray-style vintage table accessories are placed naturally on the table. Keep the pose relaxed, confident, and completely natural.

The background shows an authentic 1980s South Asian street with vintage scooters, old Ambassador-style cars, cycle rickshaws, colorful buses, old shopfronts, hand-painted signs, trees, pedestrians in period clothing, and slightly dusty streets. No modern cars, smartphones, LED signs, or contemporary objects.

Warm late-afternoon sunlight, soft cinematic shadows, shallow depth of field, realistic skin texture, natural anatomy, detailed fabric and leather textures, realistic reflections, subtle atmospheric haze.

Authentic **1980s analog film photography**, Kodak Portra 400 aesthetic, slightly faded warm tones, natural film grain, subtle light leaks, tiny film scratches, gentle lens imperfections, soft halation, realistic vintage color grading, and a subtle aged film border.

Add small handwritten **“1980’s”** typography in the upper-right corner, integrated naturally into the vintage photograph.

Photorealistic DSLR-quality image, cinematic movie-still composition, authentic nostalgic 1980s atmosphere, highly detailed, realistic and believable.
