Create one vertical 9:16 image: a portrait photograph for a magazine feature of the man in the attached photo, seated beside the lowest step of a nine-tier Navaratri golu doll display draped in rani-pink silk, in a bright modern living room.

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 or scar in its exact place, his own facial hair, and every facial proportion. Never beautify, slim, smooth or age 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 chest height, 85mm lens.

BODY: One real adult with two arms and two hands, the body continuing naturally below the frame; each visible hand four fingers and a thumb, its fingers lying naturally side by side; every limb unbroken, doing only what is described. Head in true scale to his shoulders - never a big head on a small body.

SCENE: A bright modern living room; beside him, a nine-tier golu display draped in rani-pink silk, rows of small painted dolls rising soft behind; a pistachio wall. The dolls sit behind and beside him, never in front of the face. Nothing else.

WEARING: A parrot-green raw-silk kurta to the hip with full sleeves and a mandarin collar; a cream silk veshti with a thin rani-pink-and-gold border. His own haircut and his own facial hair exactly as in the photo, only neatly combed.

POSE: Seated on the front half of a solid dark polished-teak block at knee height, hips and shoulders turned together about 20 degrees to camera-left, knees apart; his left forearm across the top of the left knee, the hand relaxed; the right hand flat on the right thigh.

GAZE: Face turned back to the lens, near frontal, eyes straight into it. Proud of the display: lips closed, both corners lifted slightly and evenly.

LIGHT: Key: a large softbox at camera-left front, about 45 degrees and above head height, soft daylight white. Fill: a white bounce card at camera-right, one stop under the key, keeping his skin its true tone. The rani-pink silk 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: visible pores, individual hair strands, real raw silk and zari; never retouched smooth. White balance neutral to the key, no cinematic grading.

TEXT: No text, logo or watermark anywhere; the dolls, silk and wall are plain, every pattern shapes with no letters.

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 9:16, no text.
