Same person as the attached reference: keep his exact face - brows, eyes, nose, lips, jawline, cheek structure, skin tone - unchanged and unmistakable; only his hair and beard are freshly styled exactly as described below, in his natural black hair colour, and the reference photo's lighting, clothing and background are ignored.

COLOUR: a dusty pink wall, soft daylight. HAIR: a wolf cut - shaggy layered top and crown falling into longer feathered lengths at the neck, deliberately undone; BEARD: light stubble. ORNAMENTS: three thin mixed chains at different lengths - steel, black cord, gold - with an open denim shirt over a white tee. POSE: mid-laugh caught, head tipped slightly, both eyes creased but visible with catchlights, brows up, mouth in a closed wide smile. His right hand pushing the shag off his forehead, fingers countable and clear of his eyes, left hand at his side. Face brightest, the layers' mess honest, never neat. True photograph, real skin, real denim. 85mm, chest-up, vertical 3:4. No text anywhere.
