The complete prompt

ULTRA-REALISTIC 8K DSLR PHOTOGRAPH — SAME-TO-SAME . Use the uploaded SCENE REFERENCE IMAGE as the absolute master blueprint. Recreate it with maximum photographic fidelity and zero creative reinterpretation.
A young South Asian male in a vertical close-up portrait, centered slightly right, wearing a loose light-colored button-up shirt with an open collar and natural fabric wrinkles. Preserve his exact facial identity and anatomy: face shape, jawline, cheekbones, forehead, eyes and spacing, eyebrows, nose, lips, ears, skin texture/pores, natural asymmetry, moustache, beard pattern, hairline and all distinctive features. Keep the thick, naturally messy, voluminous curly/wavy dark hair falling irregularly across the forehead and sides.
Preserve the exact pose, head tilt, gaze, expression, neck position, relaxed shoulders, body angle, framing, crop, proportions, perspective and subject placement. Expression remains calm and slightly serious with relaxed lips and a direct, subtly tilted gaze.
Photography: professional full-frame DSLR/mirrorless, 50–85mm portrait perspective, realistic optical rendering, sharp facial focus, shallow-to-moderate depth of field. High-contrast black-and-white cinematic photography with strong directional side lighting, luminous highlights, deep sculpted shadows and smooth highlight roll-off.
Background: dark, abstract, heavily motion-blurred outdoor environment with horizontal light/shadow streaks. Preserve the reference’s deep blacks, luminous whites, realistic tonal transitions, subtle film grain, natural motion blur, restrained bloom, realistic skin/hair/fabric texture and editorial film character.
FINAL: genuine high-end professional photograph, ultra-detailed 8K UHD, photorealistic, physically accurate lighting, natural shadows, realistic optical depth, HDR tonal range, fine micro-contrast and subtle analog-film character. Do not alter the scene, identity, pose, composition, lighting or photographic characteristics.
NEGATIVE PROMPT: AI-looking face, altered identity, face morphing, beautification, facial reconstruction, symmetry correction, changed facial features/age, plastic or smoothed skin, excessive retouching, altered hairstyle, different pose/composition, distorted anatomy, oversharpening, excessive HDR, color image, cartoon, CGI, illustration, waxy skin, fake hair/eyes, excessive bokeh, incorrect lighting/perspective, text, watermark, logo.
