Midnight Navy Fashion Editorial

Create one vertical 3:4 image: a fashion-editorial studio photograph of the man in the attached photo, perched front-on on a single-column stool against cognac seamless, in midnight navy and stone beige.

FACE MATCH - TOP PRIORITY: The attached photo is the identity source only. He is that exact man, instantly recognisable, never a lookalike: same hairline, hair colour and texture, brows, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, jawline, chin, cheek width, skin tone, any mole, freckle, scar or dimple in its exact place, his own facial hair, and every facial proportion. Never beautify, slim, smooth, age or restyle the face. Take nothing else from the photo - not its light, expression, clothes, pose or background.

FRAME: Seated, hair to just below the knees, his figure filling the frame height; camera 3 metres away at his chest height, 85mm lens.

BODY: One real adult with two arms, two hands and two legs, the body continuing naturally below the frame; each hand fully in frame or fully out of frame below the crop, each visible hand with four fingers and a thumb, its fingers lying naturally side by side; every limb unbroken from shoulder or hip, doing only what is described, never merging into the seat. Adult proportion: head in true scale, shoulders about three head-widths wide, a real neck, hands as long as the face - never a big head on a small body.

SCENE: Deep cognac-brown seamless paper; a solid single-column stool at hip height with a round matte-black seat. Nothing else.

WEARING: A midnight-navy merino long-sleeved quarter-zip pullover, zipped to the collarbone, plain zip pull; stone-beige pleated wide wool-twill trousers, sharply creased; one brushed-gold chain bracelet on his left wrist. His own haircut and his own facial hair exactly as in the photo, only neatly combed.

POSE: He sits on the front half of the seat, hips and shoulders square to the lens, spine upright; knees apart, each shoe flat directly below its knee, out of frame, a clear gap between the shins. His arms hang relaxed, elbows softly bent, his left hand resting on top of his right on the seat's front edge between his knees, fingers not interlaced, back of the top hand to the camera.

GAZE: Face turned about 20 degrees to camera-left; eyes on the photographer's assistant just out of frame beside the octabox at camera-left, not at the camera or into the light. Quietly confident, as if he just heard good news: lips closed, both corners lifted very slightly and evenly; eyes calm.

LIGHT: Key: a large warm-white octabox high at camera-left. Fill: a white bounce low at camera-right, one stop under the key, keeping his skin its true tone. A thin warm rim edges his hair and shoulders against the paper; the trousers and bracelet a step dimmer than his face. His face takes the key like the rest of him: the brightest, sharpest thing in frame, a catchlight in each eye.

PHOTOGRAPH: A true photograph on a real camera, not an illustration or 3D render: natural uneven skin tone, individual brow hairs, knuckle creases, real merino knit and wool twill; never retouched smooth. White balance neutral to the key, the cognac rich, no cinematic grading.

TEXT: No text, logo or watermark anywhere; the pullover's chest and zip pull are plain.

FINAL CHECK: The face is the exact man in the attached photo, every feature matching, lit by this octabox - if any feature differs, it is wrong. One intact adult body, limbs and hands exactly as described, head true to scale. Vertical 3:4, no text.
