IDENTITY — copy exactly from the source, do not modify:
Facial structure and proportions, eye shape and spacing, nose,
mouth, jawline, skin tone and undertone, freckles, moles,
blemishes and scars, facial hair length and outline, hairline
and hair texture, eyewear frame shape, and any headwear
including its exact fold pattern, wrap geometry, knot position,
edge line and colour. Do not add folds, pleats, creases, sheen,
strands or detail that are not visible in the source. Do not
slim, widen, age or de-age the face. Do not alter body size.

RETOUCH — permitted, minimal:
Remove temporary shine, stray lint, loose threads and flyaway
hairs. Straighten the collar. Nothing else.

POSE:
Keep the subject's existing head angle, expression, eyeline and
shoulder position.

WARDROBE:
Keep the subject's existing clothing. If clothing is casual or
cropped out, extend it as a plain, well-fitted dark garment
consistent with the visible neckline.

CROP:
Head and shoulders. Top of the head 5% below the top edge,
crop at mid-chest, eyes on the upper-third line.

[STYLE BLOCK]

RENDERING:
Photographic realism, 85mm lens at f/4, full-frame sensor,
eye level. Retain visible skin pore texture and individually
separated hairs. No skin smoothing, no beauty filter, no eye
or teeth whitening, no HDR, no added rim light, no vignette,
no halo behind the head, no added jewellery or logos.
