A Photorealistic Podcast Shot
Prompt:
Create a medium shot of the person from the uploaded reference. Preserve their real facial features, bone structure, eye shape, nose shape, lips, and overall facial identity — the face must clearly match the uploaded person. Do not alter age, ethnicity, or facial proportions.
The subject's eyebrows are slightly raised, creating subtle horizontal creases across the forehead. The mouth is partially open with the upper lip lifted slightly, exposing the upper teeth in a mid-speech physical action. Round wire-rimmed glasses sit securely on the bridge of the nose. The head is oriented directly toward the camera lens with a slight forward tilt. The gaze is sharp and focused directly into the lens.
The torso is squared to the camera, positioned behind a surface. Both arms are bent at the elbows with hands raised above the desk level; palms face inward toward each other with fingers extended in a conversational gesture. The posture is engaged, leaning slightly forward.
Hair texture is matte and dry, showing natural volume on top and settling closely against the sides of the head without visible product sheen.
Skin must be rendered as realistic human skin with visible skin micro-texture, subtle natural pores, soft peach-fuzz on cheeks and jawline, natural skin depth, and no plastic or over-smoothed look. Visible facial hair stubble creates texture across the jaw, chin, and upper lip area.
The subject wears a black long-sleeved crewneck garment made of a matte, heavy cotton-blend fabric. Soft, gravity-driven folds accumulate at the inner elbows and armpits due to the raised arm position. The fabric drapes naturally over the shoulders and chest with a relaxed fit.
The environment is an interior recording space. A wooden desk surface occupies the immediate foreground. On the left, a laptop screen is partially visible, covered in stickers. In the center, a black broadcast microphone on an articulated boom arm is positioned in front of the subject's chest. On the right, a ceramic mug rests on the table. The background is softly out of focus, featuring a textured grey stone-like wall, a tall leafy plant in the shadows to the left, a warm lamp shade providing ambient light, and a framed picture hanging on the right.
The image is captured with a 50mm lens at eye level. Shallow depth of field keeps the face and hands in sharp focus while the background blurs smoothly. Lighting is soft and diffused from the front-left, creating gentle modeling shadows on the right side of the face, while a warmer rim light separates the subject from the darker background. The overall look is observational and photographic.
