Use the uploaded reference image as the {argument name="facial identity" default="facial identity base"}. Preserve exact facial structure, skin tone, hairstyle (slightly wavy, styled with loose strands falling on the forehead), trimmed beard, and sharp jawline. Maintain a realistic, masculine appearance with natural skin texture and no over-smoothing. A cinematic, ultra-realistic portrait of the same {argument name="subject" default="young man"} standing in a {argument name="environment" default="crowded urban street"} during golden hour. Shot in a side-profile (3/4 angle), mid-close framing. His expression is calm, introspective, slightly distant—eyes softly focused ahead as if lost in thought. Lighting & Atmosphere: Strong golden-hour sunlight from behind creates a dramatic rim light halo around his hair and shoulders. Individual hair strands glow with warm highlights. Subtle wind moves his hair naturally. Add cinematic lens flares, soft light leaks, and atmospheric haze. Wardrobe: Replace formal attire with a casual modern outfit: fitted dark t-shirt or lightweight jacket, visible backpack strap over one shoulder, fabric subtly catching warm sunlight. Environment: Busy urban street scene with motion-blurred pedestrians in the background. The crowd is out of focus, creating separation and depth. Background filled with warm tones—amber, orange, gold—with darker silhouettes for contrast. Camera & Technicals: Shot on 85mm lens, f/1.8 aperture, shallow depth of field, creamy cinematic bokeh, subject sharply in focus, background heavily blurred. Color & Grade: Kodak Portra-style color grading, warm highlights, soft shadows, high dynamic range, subtle film grain for realism. Mood: Cinematic, emotional, introspective, slightly nostalgic, urban solitude. Style Tags: ultra-realistic, cinematic lighting, volumetric light, backlit portrait, golden hour, lens flare, shallow depth of field, , photorealistic, film still, 85mm telephoto lens compression with creamy background bokeh, captured on Leica M11 with Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 ASPH lens, Dramatic stage spotlighting with subtle airborne particulate illumination, authentic skin micro-textures, true-to-life surface physics, ultra-detailed editorial photography, Slight low angle looking up to create visual presence, captured on 105mm macro detail lens, Vibrant cinematic dual-tone lighting (warm key + cool ambient rim), natural surface physics, 8K ultra-detailed editorial photography --ar 9:16 --v 6.1 --style raw
