## Prompt

```text
Use the uploaded reference image as the exact identity reference for the person. Preserve the same facial identity, facial proportions, jawline, nose, lips, eyes, eyebrows, skin texture, hair color, hairstyle, and overall appearance.\n\nCreate a photorealistic cinematic fashion-editorial portrait of the same {subject} in a different pose. He is standing outdoors in front of a {location} with tall weathered stone columns, ornate Corinthian capitals, curved stone details, and an elegant historic facade.\n\nShoot from a low-angle perspective, with the camera positioned slightly below chest level and pointed upward. The subject is turned slightly three-quarters toward the camera, with his head gently tilted upward and to the side, looking away from the lens with a calm, confident, thoughtful expression. Relaxed posture, shoulders naturally angled, one arm partially visible in the foreground.\n\nHe wears a refined contemporary vintage-inspired outfit: {outfit}, crisp white collared shirt underneath, textured cream knit sweater vest with subtle navy-blue horizontal detailing, layered gold chain necklace, and a dark shoulder bag strap crossing naturally over one shoulder. Minimal accessories, understated luxury, no prominent logos.\n\nMaintain the subject's natural tousled dark brown hair, realistic individual strands, subtle facial hair, natural skin pores and texture, realistic lips and eyes, authentic anatomy.\n\nLighting is soft natural overcast daylight with gentle highlights and muted shadows. Warm-neutral cinematic color grading with subtle beige, brown, cream, olive, and stone-gray tones. Slightly desaturated vintage photography feel, realistic dynamic range, soft atmospheric depth.\n\nUse a 50mm full-frame lens look, low-angle close-to-medium framing, shallow depth of field while keeping the face sharp and the architectural background gradually softer. Authentic smartphone/editorial photography character with slight natural lens distortion from the low angle, realistic perspective, subtle film grain, fine texture, soft highlights, and understated cinematic contrast.\n\nComposition: vertical 2:3 fashion editorial, subject positioned slightly off-center, architectural columns framing him naturally, generous background space above the head, immersive perspective, candid luxury street-style aesthetic.\n\nUltra-realistic, high-detail, professional fashion photography, natural skin, authentic facial identity, realistic fabric texture, realistic stone architecture, cinematic atmosphere, editorial quality.\n\nNegative prompt: different person, altered facial identity, excessive retouching, plastic skin, over-sharpening, distorted face, unnatural eyes, extra fingers, malformed hands, exaggerated muscles, cartoon, CGI, illustration, excessive HDR, oversaturated colors, visible watermark, prominent logos, artificial lighting.
