FACE MATCH IS THE TOP PRIORITY. This is the exact man in the attached reference photo - not a lookalike. Copy the reference face feature by feature - hairline, hair, brows, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, jawline, beard pattern and density, skin tone - every proportion identical, so anyone who knows him recognises him instantly; do not beautify, broaden or genericise. From the reference keep only the face and hair.

A phone-selfie frame, ultra-real: shot from his own extended arm - the near arm reaching out of frame toward the lens, no phone visible - at eye level. He stands on a terrace at dusk, city water tanks soft behind, his free hand rubbing the back of his neck in an easy candid, the few visible fingers at the side of his neck relaxed and countable. Washed black tee, thin silver chain, hair slightly wind-lifted and kept clear of his eyes. Expression: day-done contentment, tired honest smile into the lens. The last flat orange band of sky behind camera-right rims his shoulder while the open dusk sky ahead lights his face soft and even - face brightest with clear catchlights. Honest phone grain, true skin. Vertical 3:4, chest-up selfie crop. Only this one person. No text anywhere.

LIGHT LAW: the face is lit only by this scene's own light - same direction, same colour temperature, same softness, with shadows falling exactly as the environment dictates - never a pasted studio face.

FINAL CHECK: compare the face against the attached reference - the identity must match exactly; if any feature differs from the reference, it is wrong.

About this look

The composition centers on an authentic selfie taken at dusk, with the subject positioned against a blurred backdrop of city water tanks.

How to use this prompt

To achieve the best results, ensure the reference photo of the man is clear and that facial features are prominent. The prompt specifically requests a vertical 3:4 aspect ratio with chest-up framing, so the face needs to be the primary focus. If the final image diverges from the specified features of the reference, revisit the prompt details and adjust the matching criteria accordingly.
