Cinematic Metro Portrait
A cinematic street portrait capturing a man in a grey hoodie at a metro entrance. The image conveys a friendly demeanor, enhanced by natural daylight and a lively urban atmosphere.
Create one vertical 3:4 image: a cinematic street portrait photograph of the man in the attached photo, in clear-framed glasses and a grey hoodie at the top of metro stairs. FACE MATCH - TOP PRIORITY: The attached photo is the identity source for the FACE ONLY - same brows, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, jawline, chin, cheek width, skin tone and every facial proportion, any mole or scar in its exact place. Never beautify or slim the face. Do NOT copy the hair or beard from the photo; take nothing else from it. HAIR - BUILD IT EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED: A wavy top with a taper: about four inches of loose natural waves on top pushed back and slightly to one side, one wave falling forward at the temple; the sides tapered close. Soft, matte, with movement. It grows from his own scalp: a soft natural hairline with fine baby hairs at the temples, density varying as real hair does, individual strands and a few flyaways. Never a wig, never a drawn-on hairline, never a smooth helmet. BEARD: A short full beard at about eight millimetres, even and neat, the cheek line natural, the moustache trimmed to the lip line. FRAME: Close-up, hair to mid-chest, head and shoulders filling the frame with headroom so the whole hairstyle is inside it; camera 1.8 metres away at eye height, 85mm lens. BODY: One adult, both arms running out of frame below the crop, the body continuing naturally below it. Head in true scale to his shoulders, a real neck. SCENE: The top of a metro entrance stairway in daylight, pale tiled walls and the stair rail falling away soft behind him. WEARING: A marl-grey heavyweight hoodie with the hood down flat behind his neck; clear transparent-frame glasses; a fine silver chain with a small plain round pendant sitting on the hoodie neckline. The glasses have clear prescription lenses; both eyes are fully visible through them with no glare or reflection across the eyes, and the rims sit clear of the brows. POSE: Shoulders turned about twenty degrees to camera-right, the head returned toward the lens, chin level; both arms out of frame below the crop. GAZE: Eyes straight into the lens through the glasses. Easy and friendly, mid-step: lips closed, both corners lifted. LIGHT: Key: daylight from the open street above and in front of him at camera-right. Fill: the pale tiles bouncing back, one stop under the key. His face is the brightest, sharpest thing in frame with a catchlight in each eye, and the key rakes the hair and beard so their texture reads. PHOTOGRAPH: A true photograph on a real camera: visible pores, fine skin texture, individual hair strands, real brushed cotton fleece and clear acetate; never retouched smooth. TEXT: No text, logo or number anywhere; every garment, shoe, button and dial is plain and unmarked. FINAL CHECK: The face is the exact man in the attached photo; the hair and beard are exactly as described, not the photo's, and look grown on him. Head true to scale, nothing crossing the eyes. Vertical 3:4, no text.
