## Prompt

```text
Use the {reference_photo} as the facial identity reference.

Create an ultra-realistic outdoor portrait of an adult man, framed vertically from the mid-torso upward. Position him slightly off-center, standing upright and facing the camera with a calm, composed expression and relaxed closed lips.

Dress him in a {outfit}. Keep the outfit simple, elegant, and free of visible logos or excessive embroidery.

Wrap a {headwear} around his head in a layered turban-style arrangement. The scarf should feature detailed red geometric checkered and zigzag woven patterns against a white base. Wrap it securely around the crown while allowing a long section to fall naturally down one side of his face, across his shoulder, and over the front of his chest. Include a subtle light-blue accent stripe within the upper wrapped section.

Give him a clean-shaven face with no beard or mustache. Most of the hair should remain concealed beneath the headscarf.

Add stylish silver metal-frame aviator sunglasses with large lightly mirrored gray lenses, a thin double bridge, and slim temples. Include realistic but subtle outdoor reflections across the lenses.

Use a softly blurred modern architectural exterior in the background, featuring neutral beige and gray walls, large glass surfaces, vertical structural elements, and understated contemporary details. Keep the background heavily defocused with smooth creamy bokeh so all attention remains on the subject.

Use soft natural daylight with gentle illumination across the face, realistic medium-brown skin texture, balanced highlights, subtle shadows, natural lip color, and accurate fabric textures. Maintain a sophisticated warm-neutral color palette dominated by beige, cream, red, white, and muted gray.

Shot with the aesthetic of a professional 85mm portrait lens at approximately f/1.8, shallow depth of field, eye-level camera angle, sharp facial details, realistic skin pores, highly detailed woven scarf texture, natural proportions, premium editorial photography, photorealistic DSLR quality, high dynamic range, clean color grading, ultra-realistic, 8K detail, vertical 4:5 composition.

Avoid: beard, mustache, jewelry, necklace, earrings, logos, text, excessive skin smoothing, distorted facial features, unrealistic scarf patterns, oversaturated colors, artificial-looking skin, harsh shadows, or distracting background elements.
