The complete prompt

Create a highly realistic vertical 4:5 cinematic vintage 1980s Indian street photograph using TWO image references.

REFERENCE 1 — MY SELFIE:
Use my uploaded selfie ONLY as the facial identity reference. Preserve my real facial identity and recognizable features, including face shape, facial proportions, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, jawline, skin tone, hairline and natural facial characteristics. Make the person clearly look like me. Do not replace my face with another person's face.

REFERENCE 2 — STYLE/SCENE REFERENCE:
Use the second uploaded reference image ONLY for the pose, body positioning, clothing, styling, camera angle, composition, environment, lighting, background, color palette and vintage photographic aesthetic. Do NOT copy the identity or face of the person in the reference image.

SCENE:
Create an original cinematic photograph of me as a stylish young Indian man casually leaning against an old weathered street pole on a busy old Indian city street. One hand is raised naturally near my face while the other hand rests inside my trouser pocket. Relaxed, confident expression and natural body posture.

CLOTHING:
Loose vintage maroon/red patterned shirt with sleeves rolled up, slightly open collar, simple pendant necklace, dark high-waisted pleated trousers, leather belt, classic vintage sunglasses and a simple wristwatch.

BACKGROUND:
Authentic old Indian urban street with aged colonial-style buildings, faded shop signs, old posters covering the pole, pedestrians, a cycle rickshaw and an old black-and-yellow taxi in the background. Keep the background realistic and naturally busy but slightly out of focus.

LIGHTING & CAMERA:
Warm dusty afternoon sunlight, soft natural shadows, atmospheric haze, muted earthy tones, shallow depth of field, realistic 50mm film photography, cinematic framing, natural perspective and realistic proportions.

VINTAGE LOOK:
Authentic 1980s Indian analog-film aesthetic, faded colors, subtle film grain, tiny scratches, slightly aged photograph texture, soft contrast, mild dust and imperfect film borders. The image should feel like a genuine old photograph rather than a modern digital image with a vintage filter.

MOST IMPORTANT:
My uploaded selfie controls ONLY my facial identity.
The reference image controls ONLY the pose, clothing, scene, composition, lighting and visual style.
Keep my face recognizable, realistic and natural.
Do not alter my identity.
Do not create a different person.
Do not beautify or exaggerate my facial features.
No face-swapping artifacts, no plastic skin, no cartoon effect, no distorted hands, no extra fingers, no unnatural body proportions.

Photorealistic, highly detailed, natural skin texture, authentic cinematic photography, realistic human anatomy.
