The complete prompt

ULTRA-REALISTIC 8K UHD DSLR PHOTOGRAPH — SAME-TO-SAME recreation of the uploaded SCENE REFERENCE IMAGE with maximum photographic fidelity and zero creative reinterpretation. Recreate the exact three-panel vertical triptych composition: three horizontally stacked photographic frames of the same young male subject, separated by thin dark horizontal borders. Preserve the original framing, crop, perspective, proportions, pose, expression, wardrobe, lighting, environment, color grading, photographic imperfections, and overall visual character exactly as observed.

SUBJECT & IDENTITY: Young male with naturally textured dark, slightly wavy/curly hair falling loosely across the forehead, dark eyebrows, deep-set dark eyes, natural under-eye texture, defined nose, naturally shaped lips, subtle youthful facial hair/moustache, visible ears, natural jaw and cheek structure, warm medium skin tone and authentic skin texture. Preserve facial identity exactly if [MY FACE] is supplied: replace ONLY the subject's facial identity while retaining the reference's exact head position, facial orientation, hairstyle direction, expression, lighting, skin realism, and proportions. No beautification or facial redesign.

PANEL 1 — UPPER FRAME: Tight cropped chest-and-head composition. Subject wears a clean white collared polo shirt with a slightly open collar and a thin metallic chain visible around the neck. Face is deliberately cropped near the upper-right edge, leaving the neck, collar, shoulder and torso as dominant visual elements. Subject is turned slightly away from camera. Soft warm sunlight falls diagonally across the neck, collar and shirt, creating bright highlights and gentle shadows. Background is an indistinct muted blue-gray interior with vertical architectural/light shapes and strong shallow-depth-of-field blur.

PANEL 2 — CENTER FRAME: Extreme close-up of the subject's eyes and upper face. Dark wavy hair partially covers the forehead. Both eyes face toward the camera with a calm, neutral, slightly introspective expression. Preserve exact eye shape, spacing, eyelids, eyebrows, natural under-eye texture, subtle redness/shadowing and realistic catchlights. Warm directional light illuminates the skin while the surrounding hair and edges fall into darker tones. Very shallow depth of field, intimate photographic crop, authentic skin pores and fine facial texture.

PANEL 3 — LOWER FRAME: Side-profile/three-quarter close portrait of the same subject looking downward toward the right side of the frame. Dark textured hair, visible ear, natural nose and lips profile, subtle moustache/facial hair, defined jaw and neck. White collared polo shirt and thin chain remain consistent with the reference. Warm sunlight illuminates the cheek, nose bridge, neck and shirt while soft shadows shape the jaw and background. Subject occupies the right/central portion of the frame with muted blue-gray interior background and strong creamy blur on the left.

COMPOSITION & CAMERA: Exact vertical 3-panel collage, portrait orientation, approximately 9:16 overall framing. Each panel has a cinematic horizontal crop with thin black/dark separators. Professional full-frame DSLR/mirrorless photographic appearance, approximately 50–85mm portrait focal length depending on panel, natural perspective, close-focus portrait photography, realistic optical compression, shallow depth of field, smooth natural bokeh, no artificial wide-angle distortion.

LIGHTING & COLOR: Soft late-afternoon/golden natural window light entering from the side/front, warm highlights contrasted against cool muted blue-gray shadows. Preserve the reference's warm skin rendering, creamy whites, subdued contrast, slightly desaturated cinematic palette, gentle highlight roll-off, deep but natural shadows, subtle glow around bright areas and realistic light falloff.

TEXTURE & OPTICAL REALISM: Authentic DSLR sensor rendering, realistic skin pores, fine hair strands, natural fabric weave, subtle imperfections, realistic eye moisture and catchlights, physically accurate shadows, soft highlight bloom, mild filmic grain, slight photographic softness, natural micro-contrast, HDR-like dynamic range without excessive processing, realistic exposure, subtle lens character and genuine photographic depth.

FINAL QUALITY: Genuine high-end professional photograph, ultra-photorealistic, 8K UHD detail, natural human anatomy, authentic camera optics, realistic skin and fabric textures, cinematic editorial photography, no AI-looking artifacts. The result must appear as an actual photograph captured on a professional camera, while preserving the reference image's exact visual arrangement and mood.
