The same man as in the reference photo, keeping his distinctive features exactly: heavy-lidded warm dark brown eyes, small gap between the front teeth, full neatly trimmed black beard, short natural black hair with a soft rounded hairline, deep brown skin. Change ONLY his build: he is now lean and athletic, with a slimmer face, defined cheekbones and a leaner neck, like a man who runs every morning. Daniel Cole, 35, Black British investigative journalist, an invented fictional person who resembles no celebrity or public figure. Navy roll-neck jumper, silver watch on left wrist. Front-facing head and shoulders, neutral thoughtful expression, looking into the lens. Plain neutral grey studio backdrop, soft even key light, 85mm portrait lens, photorealistic, natural skin texture. No scars, no text, no logos, no watermark.
