FACE MATCH IS THE TOP PRIORITY. This is the exact man in the attached reference photo - copy every feature identically: hairline, hair, brows, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, jawline, skin tone. Not a lookalike, no beautifying. From the reference keep only the face and hair.

A mirror selfie in a brushed-steel elevator: he holds an old pink flip phone at chest height, not covering his face, harsh direct on-camera flash bouncing off the mirror, a simple, natural smile with lips gently closed, relaxed and easy, eyes to the lens in the reflection. Cropped denim jacket over a white top, baggy jeans. Reflected metal walls, soft flash flare. Slight overexposure, early-2000s digicam colour, mild grain. Vertical 9:16. Only this one man. No text, no date stamp digits.
