IDENTITY LOCK: Reference image provides the person's identity only - preserve exact facial features, bone structure, skin tone with natural texture and pores, body proportions, hair texture and length, and unique characteristics. Same person, same gender, same age. Clothing, setting, props, and styling come entirely from the style description below. Zero tolerance for morphing or face blending.
SUBJECT:
- Pose: Seated on wooden chair, body angled 30-45° toward viewer's right (not front-facing), leaning slightly forward in engagement, shoulders relaxed/dropped. Hands resting on lap, largely cropped out or indistinct.
- Head & Gaze: Head turned slightly back toward camera, direct eye contact.
- Expression: Genuine, relaxed smile (not over-posed), soft eye contact, authentic vibe.
CAMERA:
- Angle & Distance: Eye level, medium close-up (chest/waist up, NOT knees up). Tighter framing than wide commercial shots.
- Lens Feel: 85mm portrait focal length, compression flattening features slightly, focus strictly on eyes with rapid falloff.
LIGHTING:
- Type & Source: Single directional soft window light from viewer's RIGHT.
- Character: Natural daylight falloff (not flat studio lighting). Distinct modeling on face: right side lit, left side in gentle shadow (low fill ratio).
- Color & Grade: Cool daylight temperature (5600K-6000K), NOT warm/orange. Desaturated, matte finish. Shadows lifted slightly (dark grey, not black). Skin tones natural/pale, not oversaturated or bronzed.
- Texture & Grain: Soft organic texture, slight film grain acceptable to break digital sharpness. Skin texture visible but natural, not plastic-smooth.
- Camera Type: Digital sensor simulating analog film response (e.g., Fujifilm simulation). Airy, high-key but with contrast in the features.
SETTING:
- Environment: Bright white minimalist studio/loft.
- Props: Wooden chair back visible on viewer's LEFT side (critical).
- Background: Blow-out white/light grey, heavily blurred/out of focus. Window structures should be indistinct washes of light, not sharp frames.
STYLING:
- Details: Navy blue crewneck sweater, texture must be SOFT WOOL/FUZZY (not sharp synthetic ribbing). Dark jeans barely visible at bottom.
- Hair: Natural, slightly tousled/messy texture (not perfectly groomed/gelled).
MOOD: Authentic creative portrait, indie aesthetic, "raw" rather than "commercial stock photo," relaxed confidence.
NEGATIVE: DIFFERENT PERSON, WRONG GENDER, WRONG AGE, face swap, altered features, smooth plastic skin, orange skin tone, warm color temperature, tungsten lighting, flat studio lighting, high contrast commercial look, sharp background, visible knees, full body shot, chair on right, hands on knees, suit, tie, formal wear, sharp synthetic fabric texture.
