Same person as the attached reference: keep his exact face - hairline, hair, brows, eyes, nose, lips, jawline, beard pattern and density, skin tone - unchanged and unmistakable; ignore the reference photo's lighting, clothing and background.

TONE ON TONE: a deep-purple backdrop, and an aubergine shirt in matte raw silk with a visible slubbed weave, collar standing clean, top button open only, sleeves rolled twice to below the elbow - one colour family owning the whole frame in two close shades, the garment separating from the field by texture and light, never by hue. THE CONTRAST: a gold-dial wristwatch with a dark leather strap and a thin gold chain just visible at the open collar - warm metal on royal purple. GESTURE: his right hand adjusting the rolled cuff at his left forearm, fingers countable. EXPRESSION: a serene closed smile, brows soft - real, never posed, natural micro-asymmetry kept. Soft directional light from the front keys the face brightest with clear catchlights, gentle falloff on the backdrop. A true photograph: real skin texture with visible pores and individual beard hairs, real fabric weave and sheen, honest shadows, film grain fine. 85mm, chest-up, vertical 9:16. Only this one person.

How to use this prompt

Provide a clear reference photo of the individual to capture the exact features as described — hairline, facial structure, and skin tone must be precise. Ensure the lighting has a soft frontal direction, and keep the aspect ratio to 9:16 for proper framing. Fine-tune the depth of field and background blur if the details seem flat or out of focus, adjusting for clarity in facial features.
