Use the uploaded image as the sole identity reference and preserve the exact face anatomy and identity of the person in it — the face must remain recognizably identical to the upload. Do not replace, swap, redesign, beautify, slim, widen, age, de-age, feminize, soften, or make the face more symmetrical or more model-like. Do not use any other face as reference. Preserve the exact overall face shape, forehead height and width, eye shape and spacing, eyelid state, eyebrow thickness and angle, nose bridge and tip shape, cheekbone structure, jawline shape, chin length and sharpness, upper and lower lip proportions, nose-to-lip and lip-to-chin distance, skin tone and undertone, natural facial asymmetry, hairline, hair volume, hair texture, hair length, and natural styling exactly as in the identity reference. Preserve the exact facial-hair state from the identity reference image used at generation time — if beard, mustache, or stubble is present, keep it exactly and do not shave, reduce, soften, or remove it; if clean-shaven, keep it clean-shaven. Do not copy or impose the expression from the café reference image onto the identity source; keep the original person’s natural masculine facial structure and natural expression style intact. Retouching level 3.5/10 to 4/10 — remove only minor noise or unevenness; keep natural skin texture, pores, facial-hair texture, and asymmetry; do not smooth, sharpen, slim, feminize, or generify the face.

Create a vertical 9:16 ultra-realistic editorial lifestyle café portrait of a young man seated at a small round wooden café table, framed from upper head down to thighs, occupying the center-right of the frame, with the laptop and table filling the lower-left foreground. The subject is seated indoors in a modern café beside a large side window on image-left, wearing a fitted short-sleeve black crew-neck T-shirt with smooth cotton texture, low sheen, natural fabric tension across the chest and upper arms, subtle sleeve folds at the shoulder and bicep, dark blue-gray ripped denim jeans with worn fabric texture, visible distressed tears around the knees and thigh area, and a black belt with a metallic rectangular buckle. A black wristwatch with a dark round face and metallic details is on the wrist closest to image-left, visible while typing. His hands rest naturally on a gray/silver laptop keyboard, fingers lightly positioned as if typing, elbows bent, forearms visible, posture slightly leaning forward with focused calm attention. His body faces slightly toward viewer’s LEFT / image-left, seated in a wooden café chair, with shoulders relaxed and torso angled toward the laptop. Keep the expression neutral, calm, focused, and natural; do not impose a softer, delicate, or stylized expression from the reference image.

GAZE LOCK — the full head turn is naturally angled toward viewer’s LEFT / image-left in a slight three-quarter angle, and the eyes/pupils look toward viewer’s LEFT / image-left at the laptop area, not direct-to-camera, not eyes-only side glance. GARMENT-STATE LOCK — short sleeves clearly end around upper bicep level, forearms fully visible, not rolled, not long-sleeved, not hidden.

On the table are a disposable takeaway coffee/tea cup with a warm beige sleeve on the left side near the laptop, a small white plate containing irregular golden fried snack pieces / fries, one or more light-colored paper sheets lying flat near the front edge of the table, and a small additional item near or slightly behind the plate such as a closed notebook / booklet or stacked paper object, subtly visible and naturally placed. Keep the plate contents slightly varied and natural-looking rather than overly uniform. The silver-gray laptop remains open in front of the subject with a visible dark Apple logo on the back.

BACKGROUND LOCK — real café interior with a large vertical side window on image-left showing a softly blurred outdoor street view and a pale car shape visible through the glass; the window area must remain only a secondary side element, softly diffused, muted, and naturally blurred, not bright white, not overexposed, not sharp, and not dominant in the frame. Reduce the visual dominance of the window / reflective side area so it does not cover or overpower the lamp and cupboard. Behind the subject is a warm medium-brown textured wall that is slightly darker and more controlled in brightness, matching the reference more closely. The wall must not appear too bright. A soft warm pool of light from the hanging lamp should fall visibly onto the wall behind the subject, creating a gentle lamp glow on the wall surface. On image-right behind the subject there is a cupboard / shelving unit with softly blurred books, stacked boxes, or menu items; this cupboard/books area must be clearly visible and more prominent than the window reflection area. In the upper-right background there is a single hanging pendant lamp with a white dome shade, softly glowing with low warm intensity; the lamp must remain visible, not hidden, not overly bright, not blown out, and not visually dominant. Keep the entire background more strongly blurred with smooth natural depth of field; the shelf, books, lamp, wall details, and window scene should all remain clearly readable as objects but visibly more out of focus. Do not invent plants, curtains, doors, studio backdrop, outdoor full city scene, extra furniture, or wrong wall color. Do not let the side reflective/window area hide the cupboard or the lamp.

SHADOW LOCK — soft natural contact shadows under the arms, laptop, cup, plate, papers, table edge, and chair; shadows fall gently downward and slightly to image-right with warm brown midtone softness; do not remove, over-soften, or harshen it.

Lighting is mixed natural window light and warm café practical light: broad soft key light from the large side window at image-left, slightly above face height, diffused through glass, approximately 5200K, creating a soft loop-to-broad lighting pattern across the face; warm pendant and interior ambient fill from image-right and background at approximately 3000K to 3200K, low intensity, producing a subtle warm-cool café contrast with soft edge quality and moderate shadow depth. The pendant lamp should provide gentle atmosphere only, not strong brightness, and its warm illumination should create a soft visible glow on the wall behind it. No hard flash, no harsh rim light, no dramatic glow.

Color science is natural warm-neutral café grading with muted warm brown midtones, creamy beige highlights, soft gray-blue denim tones, deep neutral black clothing, slightly warm skin tones, and gentle indoor contrast. The outside window area should stay pale gray-white and softly blurred but controlled, not overexposed. No HDR, no tone mapping, no clarity boost, natural dynamic range, no artificial LUT.

Camera feel is full-frame editorial lifestyle photography, 50mm to 70mm focal length range with mild portrait compression, f/1.8 to f/2.8 aperture range producing shallow depth of field, eye-level to slightly above-table camera angle, subject sharp with background strongly and smoothly defocused, smooth round medium-size bokeh in warm amber, beige, brown, and muted gray tones, clean digital sensor output, no grain, no noise, natural sharpening only, no visible lens distortion, no chromatic aberration, no heavy vignette. White balance should preserve mixed lighting: neutral daylight on the face from image-left and warm tungsten ambiance in the café background. Aspect ratio 9:16 vertical.
