Warm Portrait In Ikat

Create one vertical 3:4 image: a close-up portrait photograph of the man in the attached photo, in a cream ikat-print shirt with a messy side fringe.

FACE MATCH - TOP PRIORITY: The attached photo is the identity source for the FACE ONLY - same brows, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, jawline, chin, cheek width, skin tone and every facial proportion, any mole or scar in its exact place. Never beautify or slim the face. Do NOT copy the hair or beard from the photo; take nothing else from it.

HAIR - BUILD IT EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED: A messy side-swept fringe. About four inches on top, pushed roughly across to his left so an uneven fringe falls over the forehead in separated pieces, the longest just touching the outer brow while both eyes stay completely clear; the crown is deliberately unsettled with strands crossing each other. The sides are mid-length and tucked loosely behind the ears. Air-dried texture, matte, nothing combed. It grows from his own scalp: a soft natural hairline with fine baby hairs at the temples, density varying as real hair does, individual strands and a few flyaways. Never a wig, never a drawn-on hairline, never a smooth helmet.

BEARD: A full beard at about eighteen millimetres with a curled moustache: the beard rounded under the chin, the cheek line natural, and the moustache grown slightly longer at the ends so they curl gently outward and upward away from the lip.

FRAME: Close-up, hair to mid-chest, his head and shoulders filling the frame with headroom so the whole hairstyle is inside it; camera 1.8 metres away at eye height, 85mm lens.

BODY: One adult, both arms running out of frame below the crop, the body continuing naturally below it. Head in true scale to his shoulders, a real neck.

SCENE: An out-of-focus interior of warm wood and soft lamp glow behind him, nothing readable.

WEARING: A cream cotton shirt in an indigo ikat print - blurred-edge chevrons and diamond bands in the weave - collar open two buttons. ACCESSORIES: A strand of dark rudraksha beads at the neck sitting on the collarbone; a plain silver ring on the right ring finger; a slim leather-strap watch with a plain unmarked dial at the frame edge.

POSE: Shoulders turned about twenty degrees to camera-right, the head returned to near frontal; both arms out of frame below the crop.

GAZE: Eyes straight into the lens. Thoughtful, mid-sentence: lips closed, both corners lifted very slightly.

LIGHT: Key: a warm practical lamp just out of frame at camera-left at head height, holding his skin its true colour. Fill: a white wall at camera-right, one stop under the key. The lamp glow behind a step dimmer than his face. His face is the brightest, sharpest thing in frame with a catchlight in each eye, and the key rakes the hair and beard so their texture reads.

PHOTOGRAPH: A true photograph on a real camera: visible pores, fine skin texture, individual hair strands, real handloom cotton and rudraksha seed; never retouched smooth. One grade - warm tungsten highlights with deep brown shadows.

TEXT: No text, logo, monogram or number anywhere; the print is chevron and diamond shapes only, and every button, buckle and dial is plain.

FINAL CHECK: The face is the exact man in the attached photo; the hair and beard are exactly as described, not the photo's, and look grown on him. Head true to scale, one neck, nothing crossing the eyes. Vertical 3:4, no text.
