The complete prompt

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

IMPORTANT FACE INSTRUCTION:
Use the uploaded photo of the person as the face and identity reference. Preserve the person's recognizable facial identity, facial proportions, face shape, eyes, nose, lips, jawline, skin tone, and overall likeness as accurately as possible. Do not replace the person's face with a generic model. Keep the identity consistent while naturally adapting the hairstyle, expression, lighting, and clothing to the scene.

Create a realistic full-body photograph of the same person as a stylish young Indian man in an authentic early-1980s Mumbai/Bombay setting.

SUBJECT & FACE:
Young Indian man with the exact recognizable facial identity from the uploaded reference photo. Natural masculine features, realistic skin texture, authentic pores and subtle imperfections. Thick naturally dark hair with a voluminous side-swept 1980s hairstyle, slightly tousled with individual strands. Quietly confident, thoughtful and slightly serious expression with a subtle restrained smile. Looking directly toward the camera. Natural eyes and relaxed facial muscles.

POSE:
Standing casually beside a traditional roadside Indian chai stall. Body naturally leaning against the stall/counter. One elbow resting on the counter while holding a small glass of hot chai near the mouth. Other hand relaxed near the trouser pocket. One leg casually crossed over the other. Effortless 1980s Bollywood-style stance. Full body visible from head to shoes.

CLOTHING:
Authentic early-1980s Indian fashion:

- loose cream/off-white cotton button-down shirt
- sleeves casually rolled to the forearms
- slightly open collar
- natural wrinkles and realistic fabric texture
- dark brown vintage sleeveless leather/suede waistcoat
- high-waisted brown wide-leg pleated trousers
- simple dark brown leather belt
- vintage dark-brown leather formal shoes
- simple classic wristwatch
- absolutely no modern accessories

ENVIRONMENT:
Authentic old Bombay/Mumbai roadside street from the early 1980s. A weathered chai stall occupies the left foreground with old metal tea containers, kettle, stainless-steel glasses and rustic wooden counter. Hand-painted Hindi lettering and faded period advertisements on the stall.

A classic black vintage Ambassador-style car is parked immediately beside the subject on the right side of the frame, with chrome bumper, round headlights and naturally aged paint.

Behind the subject, show a busy but naturally blurred Mumbai street with pedestrians wearing period-appropriate Indian clothing, bicycles, old umbrellas, roadside vendors and colonial-era stone architecture. Include a hazy waterfront atmosphere and distant historic Mumbai architecture.

STRICT PERIOD ACCURACY:
Everything must look like the early 1980s. No smartphones, modern cars, modern buildings, LED signs, contemporary clothing, modern advertisements, modern road markings or other present-day objects.

COMPOSITION:
Vertical 4:5 portrait photograph. Full body completely visible. Subject slightly left of center. Camera positioned around waist-to-chest height with a subtle low cinematic perspective. Chai stall framing the left side and vintage black car framing the right side. Strong cinematic depth and natural perspective. Background detailed but softly blurred.

LIGHTING:
Warm late-afternoon golden sunlight coming from the front-right. Soft highlights on the person's hair, face, shirt and car chrome. Warm atmospheric haze, gentle natural shadows and realistic reflected light. Face must remain clearly visible and naturally illuminated.

PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE:
Authentic analog 35mm film photograph from the early 1980s. Slightly faded warm color palette, muted creams and browns, subtle natural film grain, gentle halation, mild vintage lens softness, realistic exposure, slight film imperfections and authentic photographic texture.

REALISM:
Photorealistic human anatomy, realistic hands and fingers, natural body proportions, authentic skin texture, realistic fabric folds, physically accurate lighting, natural shadows and believable depth of field. Avoid an overly smooth AI-generated appearance.

The final image should look like a genuine candid 1980s Mumbai photograph featuring the person from the uploaded reference photo, rather than a modern photograph with a vintage filter.
