Cobalt Workwear Fashion Editorial

Create one vertical 9:16 image: a fashion-editorial studio photograph of the man in the attached photo, seated in cobalt workwear on a hot amber set, designed as a greeting-card image.

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 about 3 metres away at his chest height, 85mm lens. The top third is one flat, even amber tone, bare of texture, marks, gradient, shadow and objects, kept empty for words added later, a step dimmer than his face, with clear space above his hair.

BODY: One real adult with two arms, two hands and two legs, the body continuing naturally below the frame; each hand fully in frame, with four fingers and a thumb, its fingers lying naturally side by side; every limb unbroken from the 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: A seamless marigold-amber paper sweep; a solid cylinder seat at knee height in matte chocolate-brown leather, a clear value step darker than his cream trousers. Nothing else.

WEARING: An open cobalt-blue heavyweight cotton-canvas chore jacket, long sleeves, flat patch pockets, over a plain white crew-neck tee, short sleeves, tucked into cream pleated wool trousers with a sharp crease. No jewellery. 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, knees apart, a clear gap between the shins, each foot flat below its knee. His right hand rests on top of his right knee, back of the hand to the camera, elbow out, forearm across the thigh; his left hand lies flat on top of his left knee; both well above the bottom edge.

GAZE: Face frontal, eyes straight into the lens. Quiet confidence, as if he just heard good news: lips closed, both corners lifted very slightly and evenly; lower lids softly lifted.

LIGHT: Key: a large neutral-white octabox high at camera-left. Fill: a white bounce card at camera-right, one stop under the key, keeping his skin its true tone, never tinted amber. The white tee and cream trousers sit 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 canvas weave and wool crease; never retouched smooth. White balance neutral to the key, the amber rich, no cinematic grading.

TEXT: No text, logo or watermark anywhere; the tee, pockets, seat and band 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 9:16, no text.
