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.

An ultra-real photograph at night: a yellow wall carrying a large painted mural of a deity with a peacock feather crown - DEITY LAW: the divine figure is painted and stylised - serene simplified features, blue-toned painted skin, never photoreal, never resembling the subject and never a second copy of the subject; the subject's face is the only real face in the image. - lit by one warm street lamp above camera-right. SKIN LAW: the subject keeps the exact natural skin tone of the reference - never blue, never tinted. He leans full-body against the wall beside the mural in a black kurta with a saffron angavastram, one shoulder to the wall, hands loose at his sides, fingers countable. GAZE: eyes to the lens, steady. Expression: night-quiet confidence, clear catchlights. The street lamp keys his face brightest against the painted wall. True skin texture, honest night grain. 35mm, vertical 9:16. Only this one real person plus the painted wall figure. 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.
