Nostalgic 1980s Coastal Scene

FACE MATCH FIRST: the exact man in the attached photo - same hairline, brows, eyes, nose, lips, jaw, skin tone, same facial hair as the reference. Never beautify or reshape the face.

A nostalgic 1980s cinematic poster: a coastal town at low sun - a timber pier in the lower half dissolving without a seam into a seafront promenade of palms and pastel arcades above, the sea burning gold. NEAR, large in the foreground: at the pier rail: a chevron-striped shirt over a cream vest, cream high-waisted trousers rolled once, white sneakers; both forearms on the pier rail mid-laugh, hands open and countable, looking out camera-left over the water. FAR, smaller and higher, on the promenade by a powder-blue scooter: a plain white half-sleeve shirt, sleeves rolled, khaki trousers; at the scooter, one hand on the mirror stem, fingers countable, the other pocketed. HAIR on every figure: full and curly, salt-lifted but swept clear of the forehead, the hairline exact. GAZE: the near figure looks out into the scene, face three-quarter with both eyes visible; the far figure candid and absorbed, face frontal or three-quarter with both eyes visible. Vertical 9:16.

COMPOSITE: one continuous cinematic scene, NOT a page of separate photos, NOT an album or scrapbook layout - no panel borders, no frames, no grid, one blended world throughout. Torn-paper edges, film-strip sprockets and one small pinned polaroid of scenery sit at the poster's outer edge as decoration, never as frames around the figures. SAME-PERSON LAW: exactly two figures in the poster, both the same man from the reference and identical in face, never a lookalike. The near figure is large in the foreground, the far one smaller and higher in the mid-ground; they never overlap, never touch, never look at each other, and neither is a reflection or a shadow of the other.

PICTURE QUALITY: strictly 1980s capture, NEVER HD - soft period lens, no digital sharpening, no clarity, no HDR, no pore-level micro-detail, analog grain throughout, faded warm tones, film scratches, a soft light leak at one corner. ONE LIGHT: a single warm low sun governs the whole scene, near and far figures lit from the same side with the same colour and softness, every face keyed frontally and brightest with clear catchlights. Every face is 1980s-sharp, not digital-sharp: features exactly readable, edges soft; grain, scratches, leak and paper never fall across a face, and sky, landscape and paper edges sit a step under the skin.

One text only: Once Upon A Summer handwritten in dark ink script in the open sky, spelled exactly O, n, c, e, space, U, p, o, n, space, A, space, S, u, m, m, e, r, clear of every face, touching nothing. No other lettering anywhere - polaroid, signs and plates carry artwork or plain shapes only.

CHECK: both faces must match the reference exactly.
