Cinematic head-and-shoulders portrait, face close-up, sharp eyes in crisp focus, shallow depth of field, soft key light with gentle rim light, filmic colour grading.
The character looks slightly past the camera with a natural, expressive gaze. Neutral, softly blurred background. No text, no labels, no watermarks, no other characters.
IDENTITY LOCK: this must be the EXACT SAME person as in the reference image — identical face, hairstyle, skin tone, eye colour and distinguishing features. Also reproduce the EXACT rendering style, medium and realism level of the reference image: if the reference is a photograph, stay fully photographic and photorealistic — do NOT stylise, do NOT convert into anime, cartoon, illustration, comic or 3D render.
