## Prompt

```text
Use my uploaded reference image as the primary facial identity reference and preserve my exact facial identity with maximum accuracy. Keep my face shape, jawline, cheekbones, eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips, ears, skin tone, hairstyle, hair texture, beard/stubble pattern, and all distinctive facial features consistent and recognizable. Do not change, beautify, stylize, or replace my identity.

Create a highly photorealistic cinematic portrait of me standing on an old traditional balcony, wearing a {clothing}. The T-shirt should have a {fabric} and drape naturally over my body.

I am standing confidently behind an aged wrought-iron balcony railing with decorative curved patterns. My body is slightly angled toward the camera while my head is tilted subtly upward and toward the side, creating a {expression}. One hand rests naturally near my waist while the other remains relaxed.

Keep my appearance masculine and natural, with realistic skin texture, visible pores, subtle facial imperfections, detailed hair strands and realistic beard texture. Add a simple silver chain necklace, subtle silver rings, bracelets, and a small metallic hoop earring. A cigarette rests naturally between my lips, producing soft wisps of realistic smoke drifting upward into the darker background.

The background features an old Indian-style residential building, with a large dark arched doorway, aged plaster walls, weathered architectural details and deep shadows. The balcony railing occupies the lower foreground and creates strong depth between the camera and subject.

Use soft warm natural daylight from the side, illuminating my face and shoulders while maintaining deep cinematic shadows around the doorway. Add subtle atmospheric haze and realistic volumetric smoke.

Camera: vertical 4:5 portrait, eye/chest-level perspective with a slight low-angle feel, 85mm portrait lens, f/2–f/2.8, shallow depth of field, sharp focus on my face and upper body, softly blurred background.

Visual style: ultra-photorealistic, cinematic editorial photography, natural skin tones, realistic fabric and metal textures, detailed beard and hair, physically accurate lighting, subtle film grain, rich tonal range, muted warm colors, dramatic but natural shadows, premium DSLR/medium-format photography, 8K detail.

Negative prompt: different person, altered identity, face distortion, excessive beautification, plastic skin, CGI, cartoon, artificial muscles, unrealistic anatomy, deformed hands, extra fingers, warped jewelry, unnatural smoke, oversaturated colors, excessive HDR, blurry face, low detail, watermark, text, logo.
