Oxblood Fashion Editorial Portrait

Create one vertical 3:4 image: a fashion-editorial studio photograph of the man in the attached photo, seated square in black tailoring beneath an empty oxblood top third.

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, filling the lower two-thirds; camera 3 metres away at his chest height, lens level, 85mm lens. The top third is flat, even oxblood, bare of marks, gradient, shadow and objects, a step dimmer than his face.

BODY: One real adult with two arms, two hands and two legs; each 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, thighs about two heads long - never a big head on a small body.

SCENE: Oxblood seamless paper; a solid pale travertine cylinder seat at knee height, a clear value step lighter than his black trousers, its top a step dimmer than his face. Nothing else.

WEARING: A black double-breasted suit in wool-silk hopsack, peak lapels, long sleeves, buttoned, sharp-creased trousers; a bone-white cotton poplin shirt with long sleeves, open-collared, no tie; a fine gold curb chain at the collar. 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, square to the lens, leaning slightly forward, back straight, knees apart, each foot flat below its knee, out of frame, a clear gap between the shins. His left forearm lies across his left thigh, the hand flat mid-thigh; his right hand rests on top of the left hand, fingers not interlaced; backs of the hands to the camera, well above the crop line.

GAZE: Face frontal, eyes straight into the lens. Calm power, as if the room has just gone quiet for him: lips closed, corners lifted very slightly and evenly; eyes steady.

LIGHT: Key: a large neutral-white octabox high at camera-left. Fill: a white card at camera-right, 1.5 stops under, keeping his skin its true tone. A thin warm back rim at camera-right edges his hair, shoulders and suit against the oxblood; his collar and chain 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 wool-silk hopsack and cotton poplin; never retouched smooth. One grade - deep jewel tones, the oxblood rich - with skin tone kept true.

TEXT: No text, logo or watermark anywhere; the top third and seat are plain.

FINAL CHECK: The face is the exact man in the attached photo, every feature matching, lit by this key - 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.
