Prompt Instruction Payload
Use my uploaded photo ONLY for facial identity.
Transfer the reference image's pose, camera angle, composition, hairstyle structure, outfit style, hand position, lighting, background style and photographic treatment onto my identity.
Do not copy the reference person's identity.
My face must remain completely recognizable as me.
CREATE AN ULTRA-REALISTIC CINEMATIC PORTRAIT BASED ON THE PROVIDED REFERENCE IMAGE.
IDENTITY LOCK — ABSOLUTE & NON-NEGOTIABLE:
Use the uploaded face/reference image as the ONLY source of the subject's identity.

DO NOT beautify the face.
DO NOT change facial proportions.
DO NOT make the face slimmer, sharper, wider, younger or more handsome.
DO NOT alter the nose, eyes, lips, jaw or cheek structure.
DO NOT apply artificial skin smoothing.
Keep natural pores, subtle imperfections and authentic skin texture.

Create a vertical candid portrait of a young South Asian man reclining/leaning sideways against a dark modern textured surface.
The subject's head is tilted naturally toward the camera while the body remains diagonally positioned.

POSE — MATCH THE REFERENCE:

Head tilted noticeably toward one side.

A thin subtle chain necklace visible around the neck.

ACCESSORIES:
Several simple metallic rings on the raised hand.
A metallic wristwatch on the wrist.
