Identity: replicate the face from the image I attached with full fidelity. Keep 100% of the facial likeness and the person's real identity, preserve their face and physical features as they are, and do not change how they look. Then apply the style below. Subject: build lean to average; skin tone natural, light to medium. Hair: medium brown with subtle natural highlights, cut short, thick and well kept, brushed neatly back off the forehead with a slight side part. Pose and framing: a medium close-up from the waist up. Seated, facing the viewer straight on, posture relaxed, arms bent and casually at rest (probably on the lap or knees), holding direct eye contact with the camera. Clothing: a dark charcoal grey crew-neck sweater in a textured knit, possibly waffle knit, with natural folds and soft highlights from the light, especially on the sleeves. On the left chest, a small embroidered emblem, mostly white / light grey, shaped like a stylized shield with a subtle darker graphic inside. Dark blue denim jeans with the natural creases and folds of a seated pose. Camera: modern digital photography, DSLR with a 50mm lens at F1.8; the subject in sharp focus, shallow depth of field, strong lens blur (bokeh) behind. Light: indoors, controlled artificial lighting. Main light: soft and diffused from the front-left, leaving gentle soft shadows under the chin and the nose. Rim light: distinctly warm, from the back-right, painting strong golden highlights on the hair, the right side of the face and the shoulder, and separating the subject from the dark background. Color: cinematic grading with natural skin tones, balanced contrast, deep blacks and clean whites, and a faint cool cast on the elements of the background. Background: deliberately dark and heavily blurred. Output: an ultra-realistic photograph, 8K resolution.
