## OUTPUT REQUIREMENT

Produce ONE independent standalone 16:9 landscape photograph.

Do NOT produce:
- a collage
- a contact sheet
- a grid
- a multi-panel image
- a montage
- multiple photographs inside one frame

Use the original reference images only.
Do not derive this image from a previously generated image.
The same primary man must remain recognisably and anatomically consistent with the reference photographs.

## REFERENCE IMAGE ROLES — IMPORTANT

### IMAGE 1 = BASE SCENE / BODY / WARDROBE / SEATED-ANATOMY REFERENCE

This is the older photograph of the man seated in a leather chair in a luxury winter hotel lobby.

Use Image 1 as the primary reference for:
- body size
- body proportions
- shoulder width
- torso dimensions
- chest dimensions
- arm thickness
- waist
- hips
- thighs
- leg proportions
- overall seated anatomy
- black leather jacket
- black shirt
- belt
- black trousers
- trouser fit
- trouser cut
- trouser material
- trouser seams
- trouser folds
- existing watch and accessories
- broad premium winter-hotel-lobby concept
- substantial leather lounge furniture
- general relationship between the subject and a spacious hotel environment

Do NOT use Image 1 as the authoritative reference for his current face, head, skull shape, haircut or hairline.

### IMAGE 2 AND ADDITIONAL FACE REFERENCES = CURRENT IDENTITY / HEAD / FACE / SKULL REFERENCES

Use the additional real photographs of the same man as the authoritative references for:
- face
- head size
- skull shape
- forehead
- cheeks
- jaw
- chin
- ears
- hairline
- buzz-cut hairstyle
- eye shape
- nose
- mouth
- expression realism
- overall true identity

The man must clearly match the real identity in these reference photos.
Do not stylise, idealise or beautify him away from his real appearance.
Do not make the head too large.
Do not make the head too small.
Keep the head-to-shoulder ratio natural and believable.
Keep the head integrated into the lighting and perspective of the scene.

## PRIMARY SUBJECT

A stocky adult man seated in a substantial brown leather armchair in a five-star alpine hotel lounge.
He wears:
- black leather jacket
- black shirt
- black fitted trousers
- black belt
- black Chelsea boots
- wristwatch on left wrist

He is seated in the left foreground.
His expression is calm, confident and natural, with a subtle mild smile.
Do not exaggerate the smile.
He should look relaxed and self-assured.

## COMPOSITION — STRICT

The photograph must be 16:9 landscape.

Place the seated man and leather chair on the far LEFT.

The man/chair grouping should occupy approximately 20–23% of image width and no more than 25%.

The man should occupy approximately 42–50% of image height.

Approximately 70–75% of the frame should be hotel environment.

Place the fireplace behind and slightly beside the left lounge area.

The bar must be clearly visible on the right.

Preserve broad hardwood-floor depth and architecture above and behind the guests.

Do not centre the man.

Do not crop his head, hands, knees, boots or important chair structure.

## VENUE

A luxurious five-star alpine winter hotel / private mountain-club lobby.

Use:
- dark natural timber
- substantial stone
- polished dark hardwood flooring
- exposed premium leather furniture
- a genuine working fireplace
- a sophisticated hotel bar on the right
- large exterior windows
- winter night outside
- restrained lodge detailing
- affluent adult hotel guests

Absolutely no carpet, rugs or runners anywhere.

## FIREPLACE

Use a genuine working fireplace approximately 1.2–2.0 metres behind or beside the chair.

Visible real flames and logs.

Restrained ember glow.

Stone or dark-metal construction.

Fireplace light should create only subtle localised warmth.

Do not overexpose the fire.

Do not create an orange halo around the man or orange contamination across his face.

## EXTERIOR WINDOWS

Reduce exterior illumination by approximately 50% compared with brighter generated versions.

The windows should show:
- deep winter night
- dark navy sky
- subdued snow
- dark tree silhouettes
- restrained mountain visibility
- minimal blue spill into the room

Do not allow the windows to resemble bright blue studio light panels.

No:
- electric-blue snow
- bright cyan room spill
- intense blue-orange cinematic contrast
- evenly illuminated exterior mountains

## RIGHT-SIDE BAR

Place a substantial premium hotel bar on the right side of the photograph.

It should occupy approximately 25–35% of the right side, depending on camera position.

Use:
- dark natural timber
- restrained brass or dark-metal details
- polished but imperfect counter surface
- professional bartender
- subdued shelves
- varied bottles and glassware
- some empty shelf space
- varied bottle heights
- labels mostly turned away or unreadable
- low-intensity shelf illumination

## BACKGROUND GUESTS

Include a lively but upscale evening crowd of affluent adult hotel guests.

They should be naturally distributed between:
- lounge seating
- circulation space
- bar area

Guests must look like real hotel patrons, not fashion editorial clones.

Use varied postures, heights and spacing.

Avoid symmetry.

Avoid copy-paste repetition.

Include attractive women near the bar in fitted eveningwear and leather or leather-look pieces, matching the seductive upscale atmosphere, but keep it photorealistic and plausible for a luxury hotel bar.

## LIGHTING

Warm, premium, evening interior ambience.

Use:
- practical wall sconces
- table lamps
- chandelier glow
- bar backlighting
- fireplace glow

The lighting must remain believable and physically integrated.

No extreme HDR.

No fake glamour glow.

No artificial haloing.

The seated man must blend naturally into the scene with correct local light from the room.

## PHOTOGRAPHIC STYLE

Highly photorealistic luxury-hotel environmental portrait.

Natural lens perspective.

Eye-level or slightly above seated eye-level camera height.

Crisp but natural detail.

No stylised CGI look.

No painterly look.

No plastic skin.

No face warping.

No anatomy distortion.

Ensure the man’s head, shoulders, torso, hands, lap, chair, and boots all remain proportionally coherent.

## SCENE VARIATION — USE THIS ONE

POSE:
Moderate 12–15 degree forward lean.
Both hands rest independently near the outer thighs or knees.

CAMERA:
Approximately 0.7 metres left of the room’s architectural centre line.

BACKGROUND:
Approximately 11 guests.

At the bar, one woman is seated, two stand at different angles, and one is partly hidden by another guest.

One empty stool separates two of them.

GAZE:
One middle-distance seated guest briefly glances towards the camera.
No bar guest looks at the camera.

MOVEMENT:
No woman walking towards the camera.

LIGHTING:
One table lamp visible.
Two small candles maximum.

## FINAL QUALITY REQUIREMENTS

The final image must feel like a naturally captured high-end hotel photograph.

The seated man must remain the clear primary subject, but the environment must dominate most of the frame.

The overall effect should be:
- luxurious
- warm
- wintery
- seductive
- upscale
- believable
- spacious

The exact priorities are:
1. correct identity
2. correct head/body proportion
3. believable scene integration
4. fireplace-left / man-left / bar-right composition
5. upscale alpine hotel realism
