Understood completely. The previous prompt wrongly instructed zero facial hair. That was my error. Here is the fully corrected prompt with the beard and full face locked hard.

Use the uploaded image as the absolute identity reference. The face in the uploaded image — including every facial feature AND all facial hair exactly as it appears — is the only face permitted in the output. Do not remove, reduce, clean-shave, thin out or alter the facial hair in any way. Copy the exact face from the uploaded image as if tracing it. If the output face and facial hair do not match the uploaded image precisely, the generation has failed.

LOCKED — FACE IDENTITY — DO NOT ALTER ANYTHING BELOW:

The subject is a specific real-looking young adult male in his late teens to early twenties. Every single one of the following characteristics must be reproduced exactly as they appear in the uploaded image with zero deviation:

Face shape: oval-oblong with tapered lower third — do not widen, shorten or restructure. Jawline: smooth, narrow, moderately defined — do not sharpen, widen or alter the jaw angle. Chin: small, rounded, mildly projected — do not change chin shape or size. Cheekbones: moderately visible — do not exaggerate or flatten. Skin tone: light-to-medium beige with warm golden and subtle olive undertones, warm ivory blended with a thin yellow-olive wash and diluted raw sienna — do not lighten, darken or shift the undertone in any direction. Eyes: medium almond-shaped with slight upper-lid hooding — do not change eye shape, size or spacing. Eyebrows: deep brown-black, mostly straight with a soft outer angle, medium-thick, naturally lightly shaped — do not alter brow shape, thickness or density. Nose: straight, narrow-to-medium, medium-high bridge, compact softly rounded tip, narrow nostrils — do not change the nose in any way. Lips: lower lip fuller than upper, softly defined cupid's bow, nearly level corners with slight downward tension, muted peach-pink matte surface — do not change lip shape or colour. Hair: tousled, layered, slightly wavy, deep black to very dark brown, loose off-centre part, irregular strands falling across the upper forehead — do not restyle, recolour or recut.

LOCKED — FACIAL HAIR — CRITICAL — DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER:

The subject carries visible facial hair exactly as seen in the uploaded image. This includes light-to-medium stubble and short beard growth distributed across the jaw, chin and lower cheeks at approximately 2–4mm natural growth, appearing as a fine natural short beard shadow at approximately hue 20–25° deep brown-black. The moustache zone carries matching short dark growth above the upper lip. The facial hair is not a shaped or styled beard — it is natural short beard growth that reads as a defined but unmanicured several-day to one-week growth pattern. Do not shave it. Do not reduce it. Do not thin it. Do not soften it into a barely-visible shadow. Do not clean the jaw, chin or upper lip. The facial hair must appear in the output exactly as it does in the uploaded image — same coverage, same density, same length, same distribution, same colour. This is a non-negotiable identity lock. Any output that renders this subject clean-shaven has failed to follow the reference.

Recreate the same young adult male with full facial hair intact, same warm cream-beige indoor wall with dramatic window-shadow geometry, same oversized black T-shirt, same thin silver neck chain, same dark metal rounded-rectangle glasses, same hard directional golden-hour sunlight from upper camera-right, same off-camera gaze and same minimalist editorial atmosphere. Do not invent anything new. The uploaded image is the sole reference for every element.

Generate a photorealistic image of this exact male subject in an approximately 3:4 tall portrait composition. Nearly centred in the frame, head slightly left of the vertical centreline. Torso nearly frontal with a mild three-quarter rotation toward camera-right, subject's right shoulder on camera-left marginally closer to the camera, shoulder line slightly diagonal. Head turned distinctly toward camera-right, farther than the torso direction, almost level with a very slight upward angle, chin neutral-to-slightly-raised. Both arms descend naturally alongside the torso. Both hands completely absent from the visible frame — right hand disappears into deep shadow near the lower camera-left hip, left hand is outside the bottom crop. Zero exposed fingers, zero visible palms, zero visible wrists. Visible area covers full head, neck, shoulders, torso and portions of both upper arms, cropped at approximately upper-thigh to lower-hip level.

Skin retouching at level 5 out of 10 — moderate smoothing across the forehead, both cheeks and under-eye areas only, with clearly retained subtle micro-texture remaining around the nose sides, upper lip, chin and the peak of the illuminated cheek. No heavy airbrushing. No plastic smoothing. No beauty-filter flattening. The skin must look like this specific person's actual skin, not a generic smooth-skinned model. Post-processing character: warm golden-hour editorial grade at approximately 3800–4400K, high contrast with deep near-black shadows carrying subtle olive-brown undertone, moderately muted saturation, warm amber and honey-gold highlights.

Zero foundation. Zero eyeshadow. Zero eyeliner. Zero mascara. Zero blush. Zero lip product. Zero brow fill. Completely bare masculine skin with natural short beard growth exactly as locked above.

Eyes: both fully open and directed off-frame toward camera-right at an approximately level-to-slightly-upward angle. No direct camera contact. No camera-facing gaze. No clearly isolated ocular catchlights beneath the glasses reflections — warm sunlight reflections on the lens surfaces are the primary light interaction at the eye zone. Do not redirect the gaze toward the camera under any circumstances.

LOCKED — GLASSES: Large rounded-rectangle to softly circular lens eyeglasses. Frame: dark gunmetal to black-brown thin metal rims, narrow bridge, thin dark temple arms partially concealed by the tousled hair on both sides. Lens reflections: strong warm sunlight reflection across the camera-right lens appearing as a broad warm amber bloom — partially obscuring the camera-right eye without fully masking it. Camera-left lens carries lighter residual reflection. Both eyes partially visible through or around the lens surfaces. Glasses must sit correctly on the nose bridge and ears with accurate three-quarter perspective. Do not float, distort or misplace the frame.

LOCKED — NECKLACE: Thin fine-link silver-toned curb or cable chain, short-to-medium length, resting in a shallow natural U-curve above the T-shirt crew neckline across the upper chest and collarbone. No pendant. No additional chains.

Clothing — upper garment: oversized black T-shirt at approximately hue 220–230° desaturated near-black, matte cotton jersey, loose boxy fit, mild dropped-shoulder construction, round crew neck, short sleeves ending at mid-upper arm with plain stitched hems, broad vertical drape folds through the torso, subtle warm amber highlights along shoulder edges and raised fold ridges only, zero logos, zero prints, zero fasteners. Lower garment: near-black, mostly concealed beneath T-shirt hem and bottom crop — render only the minimal visible edge. No inner shirt. No outer garment. No neckwear other than the silver chain.

No earrings. No rings. No watch. No bracelets. No hat. No bag. No held objects. No tattoos. No scars. No facial piercings.

Background: two depth layers — foreground subject in sharp focus and a plain warm cream-beige lightly textured plaster wall immediately behind. Wall colour: approximately hue 40–45° at 12–18% saturation and 70–80% brightness in lit zones, dropping to approximately hue 35° at 10% saturation and 25–35% brightness in shadow zones. Complex hard-edged window-shadow geometry essential to the image: large dark triangular shadow mass across the upper-left wall area; strong diagonal and vertical shadow bands crossing from upper-right toward lower-left; bright rectangular sunlight patch on the camera-right wall with a clean vertical shadow boundary at its left edge; darker shadow band behind the lower torso area. Strong hard-edged subject silhouette cast shadow projected toward camera-left on the wall surface. Zero objects, zero furniture, zero additional people, zero text, zero overlays, zero watermarks, zero sparkle symbols.

Lighting: key light at 2–3 o'clock upper camera-right, hard direct golden-hour sunlight at approximately 3500–4200K, zero diffusion, all shadow edges sharply defined on both the wall and the subject. Illuminated facial zones: camera-right forehead edge, nose bridge, camera-right cheek peak, upper lip and chin tip — the warm light also catches the short beard growth on the illuminated jaw and chin, rendering the facial hair with warm amber-brown highlights on the lit side and deeper shadow on the camera-left side. Shadowed zones: camera-left face, left jaw edge and neck in deep warm-charcoal shadow. Strong dark shadow beneath the jawline. Nose shadow falls toward camera-left. Fill level approximately 8–10% — shadow-side features retain minimal definition. No rim light. No artificial fill. Key light temperature approximately 3800K warm golden. Ambient shadow at approximately 4500–5000K neutral-to-warm charcoal with olive-brown cast.

Render at maximum photorealistic quality. The uploaded face is the total identity lock — match it exactly including the facial hair. Do not change his face. Do not shave him. Do not remove the beard or stubble. Do not remodel his bone structure. Do not smooth him into a different person. Do not give him different eyes, different nose or different jaw. Do not remove the glasses. Do not remove the silver chain. Do not add any makeup. Do not change the black T-shirt. Do not change the warm cream-beige wall. Do not remove the window-shadow geometry from the wall. Do not shift the gaze toward the camera. Do not expose hands or wrists. Do not add any background objects or people. Do not add text, watermark or sparkle symbol. Maintain the warm 3800–4400K golden-hour grade throughout. No CGI look. No plastic skin. No anatomical errors. No beauty filter. No motion blur. No lens distortion. Ultra high resolution. Sharp facial detail exactly matching the uploaded subject including his natural short beard growth. Satin-matte natural skin texture at retouching level 5 out of 10. Photorealistic only.
