The prompt

Use the reference image as the identity source, preserved with maximum accuracy — don't alter, beautify, reinterpret, or replace the face. Keep the exact facial structure, skin tone, eye shape, nose, lips, eyebrows, hairstyle, hairline, age, body proportions, facial hair (if present), expression, and every unique feature intact; the final image must clearly be the same person with full facial consistency.

**Concept:** An ultra-realistic smartphone selfie shot from a very high overhead angle, subject extending one arm upward to hold the phone — the outstretched arm visible in the foreground with authentic wide-angle-lens perspective distortion.

**Composition:** Portrait orientation (4:5 preferred), subject alone and centered, camera positioned directly above, authentic smartphone framing with slight asymmetry, realistic wide-angle distortion, natural documentary-style composition — social-media feel without looking staged.

**Subject:** Identity unchanged from the reference — same features, hairstyle, facial hair, skin tone, age, and proportions. Natural upward eye contact toward the camera, relaxed expression, authentic posture. Clothing can be swapped for the requested outfit while keeping realistic fit and body proportions; accessories (glasses, jewelry, watch, etc.) may be added per request without affecting facial identity.

**Environment:** A modern urban outdoor location — large stone or concrete pavement with realistic surface texture, contemporary architecture, dark stone/concrete walls, metal architectural details, a subtle city atmosphere, with parked vehicles or distant street elements softly visible. Clean, cinematic, distraction-free background.

**Lighting:** Natural cloudy daylight, soft shadows, even realistic outdoor illumination, neutral white balance, no dramatic artificial lighting — physically accurate light behavior.

**Camera:** Smartphone wide-angle lens feel (roughly 24–26mm equivalent), authentic front-camera perspective with natural edge distortion, documentary lifestyle photography, HDR, realistic color science — no beauty filters or AI-style overprocessing.

**Image quality:** Photorealistic, natural skin pores, individual hair strands, authentic smartphone-sensor detail, slight natural sharpening, high facial detail, clean realistic textures, ultra-sharp focus on the face, premium lifestyle-photography quality, 8K, realistic hands and fingers — genuine smartphone aesthetic suitable for social media.

**Identity priority:** The face must match the reference in every respect — the result should look like the same real person photographed in a different location and outfit, not an AI reinterpretation. Identity preservation outranks any stylistic choice.
