**Aspect Ratio:** 3:4 vertical portrait
**Recommended Resolution:** **3072 × 4096 px** or equivalent high-resolution 3:4 output

## ⚠️ CRITICAL — FACIAL IDENTITY REFERENCE ONLY

Use the **uploaded user image ONLY as the facial identity reference** for the young man.

Preserve his identity with maximum accuracy and without compromise:

* Exact facial structure and proportions
* Forehead, hairline, eyebrows and brow shape
* Eyes, eyelids, eye spacing and natural gaze
* Nose shape, bridge and nostrils
* Cheeks and cheekbone structure
* Lips, mouth shape and natural smile
* Jawline and chin
* Ears and facial proportions
* Natural skin tone and realistic skin texture
* Subtle natural asymmetry
* Exact recognizable facial identity

**Do not beautify, reshape, slim, enlarge, sharpen, smooth, age, de-age, stylize, replace, or reinterpret the face.** Keep the face completely natural and faithful to the uploaded identity.

The uploaded image must **NOT** influence the clothing, hairstyle, pose, body proportions, body position, background, environment, lighting, color palette, camera angle, accessories, props, or composition. All of those elements must come exclusively from the written description below.

## 🎞️ COMPLETE SCENE

Create an **ultra-photorealistic cinematic portrait of a young South Indian man leaning casually against the front-left side of a vintage classic automobile on a nostalgic 1980s–early-1990s Tamil street**.

The image should feel like an authentic frame from a beautifully photographed **retro Tamil cinema-inspired street scene**, with realistic physical materials, period-accurate details, warm sunlight, slightly faded analog-film character, and subtle aged photographic texture.

The composition is a **full vertical 3:4 portrait**, showing the subject from approximately the top of his hair down to his upper/lower legs, with the vintage automobile occupying a substantial portion of the lower-left foreground.

# 👤 SUBJECT & POSE

A young South Indian man stands in a relaxed, confident, slightly cinematic pose beside the vintage car.

He has a youthful appearance and naturally proportioned body.

### Head & expression

* Face looking directly toward the camera
* Head held naturally upright with a very subtle relaxed tilt
* Calm, confident, understated expression
* Very subtle closed-mouth smile
* Relaxed eyes
* Natural facial expression rather than an exaggerated model pose

### Hair

Give the subject **thick, naturally voluminous curly/wavy black hair**, styled in a loose, slightly untidy retro fashion typical of the late-1980s/early-1990s period.

The hair should have:

* Dense curls/waves
* Natural volume
* Slightly tousled edges
* Realistic individual strands
* Soft natural shine

### Body position

The subject is leaning against the vintage car.

* Right hand is positioned naturally near his right thigh
* Shoulders relaxed
* Torso slightly angled toward camera
* Weight distributed casually against the vehicle
* Legs relaxed rather than standing rigidly
* Overall pose should feel spontaneous and effortlessly stylish

Do not make the pose look like a fashion catalog pose. It should resemble a candid cinematic still.

# 👕 CLOTHING

The subject wears a **loose retro long-sleeve button-up shirt** with a highly distinctive vintage abstract geometric print.

# 🚗 VINTAGE AUTOMOBILE

A **large classic vintage automobile** occupies the lower-left side of the composition.

### Vehicle color

* Muted faded blue / blue-gray body paint
* Slightly weathered vintage finish
* Warm sunlight reflecting across the hood

# 🏪 BACKGROUND — OLD TAMIL STREET SHOP

Behind the subject is a **small nostalgic roadside Tamil shop**, packed with authentic period details.

The environment should feel like an old South Indian commercial street from the late 1980s.

The poster features:

* A large dramatic male movie-star portrait

The poster contains large **Tamil lettering**, with prominent yellow/orange title text and the year **“1987”** visible beneath it.

The typography should appear genuinely printed on the poster and integrated naturally into the aged paper.

Do not make the poster look digitally pristine.

### Shop sign

In the upper-right background is a dark rectangular shop sign with large **Tamil script** in a cream/off-white color.

The sign should have:

* Dark charcoal/black background
* Large handwritten/painted Tamil lettering
* A simple illustrated drinking-glass/cup symbol on the right
* Thin horizontal colored decorative line near the bottom
* Weathered paint
* Slight aging and grime

The sign should resemble an authentic old **tea/refreshment shop signboard**.

* Aged wooden/metal frames
* Slight grime
* Dust particles
* Faded advertisements
* Old electrical/wiring details

Use **warm late-afternoon golden sunlight**.

Lighting characteristics:

* Strong warm sunlight coming from the upper/right side
* Soft golden highlights across the subject's hair
* Warm highlights on the face
* Gentle illumination on the patterned shirt
* Golden reflections across the vintage car

* Faded teal/blue elements
* Slightly desaturated colors
* Creamy highlights
* Warm skin tones

* Slight halation around bright highlights
* Mild aged-film softness

# 🎬 FINAL VISUAL DIRECTION

The final result should look like a **lost frame from a beautifully photographed late-1980s/early-1990s Tamil film**, recreated as an extremely realistic modern photograph while retaining the authentic period styling.

The image should communicate:

**retro Tamil cinema × old roadside tea shop × vintage automobile × youthful confidence × warm golden sunlight × analog film nostalgia.**

Maintain the reference composition, subject placement, pose, environment, clothing, automobile, background objects, lighting, colors, depth of field, and overall mood as closely as possible.

No modern cars, modern buildings, modern clothing, smartphones, watches, contemporary logos, sneakers, modern hairstyles, studio backdrop, extra people, excessive accessories, artificial skin smoothing, face alteration, face beautification, facial reshaping, body distortion, extra fingers, missing fingers, malformed hands, duplicated objects, warped car geometry, excessive blur, excessive HDR, neon colors, oversaturation, plastic skin, CGI, 3D render, illustration, anime, cartoon, artificial sharpening, extreme cinematic effects, excessive film scratches, unrealistic bokeh, fisheye distortion, wide-angle distortion, or modern digital styling.
