Aura 0.2
Use my uploaded personal photo as the STRICT PRIMARY IDENTITY REFERENCE and the separately provided reference image as the STRICT PRIMARY VISUAL REFERENCE. Create an ultra-photorealistic cinematic photograph that recreates the reference image as closely as possible while replacing the original person's identity with my real identity. The final image must look like an authentic photograph of me captured on a professional DSLR or mirrorless camera at a real outdoor construction site, not an AI-generated image.
IDENTITY PRESERVATION: Preserve my recognizable facial identity from my uploaded personal photo, including my original face shape, forehead, hairline, eyebrows, eye shape, eyelids, eye spacing, nose structure, nostrils, cheeks, cheekbones, lips, chin, jawline, ears, skin tone, natural facial asymmetry, and realistic skin texture. Do not copy the reference person's identity or facial anatomy. Do not make me resemble the reference person, an actor, a celebrity, or a generic AI model. Adapt my real face naturally to the reference's head angle, downward tilt, expression, and lighting. The facial features must follow the three-dimensional orientation of my skull, with physically accurate perspective, facial foreshortening, cheek visibility, nose projection, jaw alignment, and ear placement. Preserve my identity without enlarging my head, stretching my face, shrinking my body, or artificially changing my facial proportions.
SCENE AND COMPOSITION: Recreate the reference image's rugged, cinematic construction-site atmosphere. The main subject is standing prominently in the foreground, occupying most of the vertical frame, with the head near the upper quarter and the body extending down toward the lower edge. Use a vertical portrait composition close to a 4:5 aspect ratio. The subject is positioned slightly left of center, with the upper body turned subtly toward the camera and the shoulders naturally aligned with the torso. The background contains an active construction environment with several workers wearing yellow safety helmets and dark work clothes, blurred construction materials, rough industrial structures, indistinct equipment, and a pale, dusty outdoor atmosphere. Keep the background recognizable as a real construction site without making its details compete with the subject. Preserve the reference's layered depth, environmental realism, and natural separation between the foreground subject and background workers.
POSE AND BODY LANGUAGE: Reproduce the reference's relaxed but commanding standing posture. The subject's torso faces generally toward the camera, with a subtle natural body angle and a slight shift of weight through the hips. One arm is bent at the elbow and raised toward the face, with the hand positioned near the mouth. The index and middle fingers hold a slender, unlit white cigarette near the lips in the same position as the reference, without smoke or glowing embers. The raised elbow points outward naturally, while the forearm angles upward toward the chin. The other arm hangs relaxed beside the body, with the hand naturally open and the fingers slightly curved. Maintain realistic elbow placement, wrist alignment, finger anatomy, forearm musculature, shoulder width, torso proportions, and believable weight distribution. The subject's posture should communicate quiet confidence, concentration, ruggedness, and a serious cinematic attitude without exaggeration.
HEAD POSITION AND FACIAL EXPRESSION: The head is slightly bowed forward and tilted downward, with the chin gently lowered toward the upper chest. The face is angled slightly toward the subject's right rather than directly facing the camera. Reproduce the reference's three-quarter facial perspective and downward head inclination as closely as possible. The eyebrows are drawn slightly inward, producing a thoughtful, focused, stern expression. The eyelids are partially lowered, and the eyes look downward toward the cigarette or the hand near the mouth rather than toward the camera. The forehead shows subtle natural tension, the cheeks remain relaxed, and the lips are gently closed or slightly parted around the cigarette, according to the reference's visible mouth position. The jaw is relaxed but defined. The expression should feel introspective, serious, and naturally captured in an unposed moment. Do not introduce a smile, exaggerated anger, artificial sadness, or a direct camera gaze. Ensure that the eyes, eyebrows, mouth, and facial muscles work together to create the same believable expression as the reference.
HEAD AND NECK ANATOMY: The head, neck, shoulders, and upper torso must form one anatomically coherent structure. The neck should naturally support the slightly bowed and rotated head, connecting seamlessly beneath the jaw and behind the skull to the trapezius and shoulders. Preserve realistic neck thickness, muscle placement, skin tension, and subtle compression beneath the chin. Any folds caused by the downward head angle must be minimal, natural, and anatomically appropriate. Maintain physically accurate transitions between the jawline, underside of the chin, neck, and collar area. No stretched skin, disconnected jaw, twisted neck, artificial creases, exaggerated neck folds, floating head, or distorted anatomy.
HAIR AND GROOMING: Preserve my natural hairline, hair texture, and recognizable hair characteristics from my personal photo. Arrange the hair naturally for the slightly bowed head position, with realistic strands, volume, and light reflection. Match the reference's overall rugged, slightly tousled hairstyle only to the extent compatible with my own natural hair. Recreate a short, well-defined beard and moustache only if consistent with my personal appearance; otherwise, preserve my actual facial hair rather than inventing a different beard. Hair and facial hair must have individual strands and natural density, with no artificial painted texture.
CLOTHING: Recreate the reference's worn, dark brown, short-sleeved crew-neck T-shirt with a slightly faded, dusty, unevenly mottled fabric appearance. The shirt fits naturally across the shoulders and chest, with realistic fabric weight, soft folds around the abdomen, natural tension near the sleeves, and believable wrinkles around the waist. The neckline is slightly relaxed and worn, with a subtle lighter brown edge. Under the short sleeve on the arm at the viewer's right, recreate a fitted black or very dark charcoal long-sleeved undershirt extending down to the wrist. The opposite forearm remains visible beneath the rolled or short sleeve. The subject wears dark charcoal or black utility-style trousers with realistic fabric folds, a natural waistband, and a small dark utility pouch or clipped work accessory at the hip, similar to the reference. Preserve believable garment construction, seams, stitching, fabric texture, and gravity-driven folds. Avoid glossy synthetic materials, exaggerated muscles, skin-tight clothing, or unnatural body proportions.
CAMERA AND PERSPECTIVE: Reproduce the reference's medium-to-three-quarter portrait framing, approximately from the head to the upper thighs, with the subject photographed from around chest height or slightly below. The camera is positioned close enough to emphasize the subject while retaining visible environmental context. Use a realistic 50mm to 70mm full-frame lens appearance, natural perspective compression, and a moderate depth of field. Keep the face, hair, raised hand, shirt texture, and upper body in crisp focus while allowing the construction workers and background structures to fall into soft optical blur. Maintain natural head-to-body proportions, realistic arm length, correct hand size, and perspective-consistent facial geometry. Avoid wide-angle distortion, exaggerated telephoto compression, artificial edge sharpening, and unnatural cropping.
LIGHTING: Recreate the reference's soft, diffused outdoor daylight. Use a bright, overcast construction-site environment with gentle illumination from the upper front and one side, producing soft highlights on the forehead, nose, cheekbones, forearms, and shirt folds. Preserve subtle shadows beneath the brow ridge, nose, lower lip, chin, neck, and bent arm. Include gentle ambient fill from the surrounding environment and realistic reflected light from the pale construction-site background. The subject should be clearly visible without looking artificially illuminated. Shadows must follow the actual three-dimensional shape and orientation of the face, head, neck, arms, and torso. Avoid harsh studio lighting, dramatic artificial rim lights, impossible highlights, excessive contrast, and overexposed skin.
COLOR GRADING AND ATMOSPHERE: Match the reference's cinematic, slightly muted color palette, combining earthy brown clothing, deep charcoal and black shadows, natural warm-to-neutral skin tones, pale gray construction-site surroundings, and restrained yellow accents from the workers' safety helmets. Use moderate contrast, subtly lifted environmental highlights, rich but realistic dark tones, and gentle cinematic color separation. Maintain natural skin color and accurate white balance. The atmosphere should feel dusty, industrial, grounded, and slightly gritty, with a polished cinematic finish that retains the realism of a documentary-style photograph. Avoid excessive orange tones, artificial skin whitening, oversaturation, heavy teal-and-orange grading, or excessive HDR.
BACKGROUND AND DEPTH: Preserve the reference's busy but softly blurred construction-site background. Include indistinct workers in yellow hard hats and dark workwear positioned behind the main subject at varying distances, with one or more workers partially obscured by the subject. Include rough structural elements, scaffolding or industrial framework, blurred construction equipment, and pale outdoor surfaces. Keep all background details physically plausible and proportionally consistent. Use realistic l
