    Gold Standard

    Use the uploaded image as the ONLY facial and identity reference. The subject must look exactly like the person in the reference—preserve identical facial structure, proportions, skin tone, hairstyle, grooming details, and overall identity. Do not beautify, stylize, or alter facial features. Maintain natural skin texture, pores, and subtle asymmetry.
    Create a high-resolution, cinematic birthday portrait of a confident adult man in a luxurious indoor setting.
    Composition & Framing
    Above-knee to head visible (not full body), 4:5 aspect ratio, vertical composition.

    Subject centered, slightly leaning back in a relaxed, confident stance.

    One leg straight, the other slightly bent and crossed casually in front

    Body weight shifted to one side (natural relaxed lean)

    Right hand holding the cake slightly forward at mid-torso level

    Left hand raised slightly near chest in a natural conversational gesture

    Face directed toward the camera with a subtle happy, confident expression (soft smile, birthday vibe, not overly exaggerated).
    Attire & Styling:

    Formal monochrome black outfit:

    Tailored black blazer with sharp structure

    Black button-down shirt with top buttons open

    Black trousers, perfectly fitted

    Statement belt with a metallic eagle-shaped buckle

    Minimal accessories, clean luxury styling
    Birthday Cake:

    A two-tier matte black cake held in one hand.

    Elegant white/silver royal icing patterns on both tiers.

    8 thin lit candles on top, emitting warm glow and soft flicker light illuminating the subject’s face.
    Environment & Background:

    A luxurious, warm-toned interior:

    Metallic gold foil balloons spelling “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” across the upper background

    Additional gold star-shaped balloons floating around

    Classic white fireplace behind the subject with a soft glowing fire

    Left side: stacked gift boxes wrapped in beige/gold paper with deep red ribbons

    Right side: a dark wooden round table with a silver ice bucket holding champagne bottles and a filled flute
    Lighting (CRITICAL):

    Cinematic low-key lighting:

    Primary warm key light from front-left (soft, directional, shaping face)

    Candlelight acting as practical light source adding flicker highlights

    Fireplace providing subtle warm rim light from behind

    Soft shadows, no harsh highlights, smooth falloff
    Color & Mood:

    Luxury gold + deep black color palette

    Warm amber tones, rich contrast, premium cinematic feel

    No oversaturation — maintain realistic, slightly muted tones
    Depth & Quality:

    Shallow depth of field (background softly blurred)

    Ultra-detailed textures:

    Metallic reflections on balloons

    Matte cake frosting

    Fabric realism in suit

    Soft ambient glow from fire
