## Prompt

```text
Use the uploaded photo as the facial identity reference. Preserve the subject’s recognizable facial features, skin tone, facial proportions, hairstyle, and overall appearance naturally. Create a creative cinematic street portrait featuring the same adult man standing in front of a large black brick wall covered with a massive {mural_subject}. The mural should dominate almost the entire background. Show a huge black-and-white waist-up portrait of the man wearing subtle rectangular eyeglasses and a dark button-up shirt. In the mural, he is looking downward while holding a large vintage stainless-steel kettle in one raised hand, tilted forward as if {mural_action}. Make the mural realistically integrated into the brick texture, with the brick pattern subtly visible through the printed artwork. In the foreground, place the real-life version of the same man at the lower-right area of the composition. Show him full-body, standing casually with one hand inside his trouser pocket while the other hand holds a transparent plastic cup filled with iced coffee. Position the cup directly beneath the kettle spout so that a realistic stream of coffee appears to pour from the giant mural kettle into the small cup, creating a clever forced-perspective optical illusion. Dress the foreground subject in: {outfit}. Pose him looking upward toward the giant mural with a relaxed, slightly amused expression. Use a dark urban environment with a black painted brick wall, simple concrete pavement, soft natural overcast lighting, realistic shadows, muted cinematic colors, and strong contrast between the monochrome mural and the colored foreground subject. Maintain believable scale, accurate perspective, realistic liquid physics, natural anatomy, detailed fabric textures, realistic skin texture, sharp facial details, professional photography quality, subtle depth of field, premium editorial street-photography aesthetic, highly photorealistic. Composition: vertical 4:5, giant mural filling approximately 80% of the frame, foreground subject positioned lower-right, kettle and cup perfectly aligned to create the pouring illusion.
