Overcast, Soft Daylight

Prompt
A single 4:5 vertical photograph of the person in the uploaded photograph, outdoors on a soft overcast day in the afternoon. Contemporary natural-light portrait photography. The cloud-diffused sky provides flat, even, forgiving light (a giant natural softbox).

LOCK IDENTITY (never changes): facial bone structure, eye shape and colour, eyebrows, nose, lip shape, jawline, chin, hairline (preserve EXACTLY), ear shape, the person's true relative complexion (never lightened), all permanent marks. Natural facial hair preserved exactly.

DO NOT LOCK the upload's lighting or absolute skin tone — the face is RE-LIT by this soft overcast daylight.

REPLACE from the upload: any earrings, necklaces, chains, rings, watches — replaced with minimal styling below. Wardrobe and background are set by this scene.

FACE-BODY INTEGRATION & REALISM (mandatory — this governs the entire image):

1. ONE CONTINUOUS PHOTOGRAPH, NOT A FACE-GRAFT. The head, neck, and body
   belong to the same person captured in a single exposure. There is NO visible
   seam, edge, outline, halo, or "pasted-on" boundary anywhere around the jaw,
   chin, hairline, or neck. The face is NOT sharper, brighter, or more in-focus
   than the body — head and body share ONE identical grain, sharpness, and
   focus falloff.

2. SKIN-TONE CONTINUITY (no two-tone problem). The complexion of the face,
   ears, neck, throat, shoulders, and hands is ONE single consistent skin tone —
   the subject's true complexion rendered identically everywhere. Do NOT render
   a lighter face on a darker body, or a darker face on a lighter body. There is
   NO tonal step, line, or colour shift at the jawline or neckline. The face and
   body are colour-graded as one.

3. SCENE-MATCHED LIGHTING ON THE FACE. Lock the person's IDENTITY but do NOT
   lock the upload's lighting. The face is RE-LIT by THIS scene: soft flat
   overcast daylight from above/front — the same even, low-contrast quality on
   the face AND body. Soft broad catchlights in the eyes (the bright overcast
   sky); skin highlights match the environment.

4. CORRECT HEAD-TO-BODY PROPORTION. The head is anatomically sized to the body
   — roughly one-seventh to one-eighth of full standing height. Do NOT enlarge
   the head, widen the skull, or inflate the face relative to the shoulders and
   torso. Neck thickness and shoulder width are natural for the build.

5. HEAD POSE FOLLOWS THE BODY. The angle and tilt of the head sit naturally on
   the neck, consistent with the body's posture and the camera angle. Do NOT
   place a front-facing face on a turned or angled body. Gaze, head-turn, and
   neck angle all agree with the pose.

6. NATURAL NECK & HAIRLINE TRANSITION. The jaw flows into the neck, the neck
   into the collarbones and shoulders, the hairline into the scalp — soft
   natural anatomy, real shadow under the chin, no abrupt mask-edge.

Wardrobe — calm neutral-casual:
Pick ONE:
- A soft knit, crewneck, or hoodie in a muted tone (grey, oat, navy, sage).
- A casual overshirt or light jacket over a plain tee.
- A clean button-down in a muted colour.
Real soft fabric, well-fitted. Muted, calm palette that suits the soft grey light. Texture in the knit/fabric reads beautifully in this even light.

Hair styling: natural hair, softly styled, perhaps lightly moved by a cool breeze. Hairline preserved exactly. Facial hair preserved exactly.

Scene props (replace upload jewelry): a simple watch or none; hands relaxed, in pockets, or holding a coffee — natural.

Pose and composition: standing or walking outdoors, body three-quarter to the camera, head to the lens with a calm settled expression. Three-quarter or full-length framing. Camera at eye level. Relaxed candid feel.

Expression: a calm, neutral-warm, settled expression — relaxed eyes, a soft natural near-smile or a composed look. Quiet and genuine.

Setting — soft overcast outdoors: a calm outdoor setting under a grey sky — a quiet street, a park path, a waterfront, a bridge, or a neutral urban backdrop, softly out of focus. The light is flat and even; the scene is muted and atmospheric. Possibly a few soft details (bare trees, a misty distance, wet pavement) but nothing harsh or cluttered.

Atmospheric details: the soft diffused grey light, perhaps a faint cool haze or light mist, the calm quiet of an overcast afternoon.

Light — flat even overcast: primary soft flat daylight from the cloud-diffused sky at around 6500K (cool-neutral, but balanced naturally in grade), wrapping the face evenly with very soft shadows; the bright sky as a huge soft fill; broad soft catchlights in the eyes; low gentle contrast — the most forgiving natural light.

Camera language: 50mm or 85mm prime at f/2.2, full-frame digital, clean natural grade with true soft skin tones, ISO 400. Sharp on the eyes.

Colour treatment: muted soft palette — cool-neutral overcast tones, muted wardrobe, true-to-upload skin softly and evenly lit (the cool light is balanced so skin stays natural, not lightened, not greyed).

Skin handling: pores visible, soft even real texture (overcast light flatters skin), eyelashes resolved, facial hair preserved, natural age kept.

Aspect ratio 4:5 vertical. No text, no caption, no border, no watermark.
