An authentic 1980s-style seated portrait with curly hair, a denim jacket over a retro sunset tee, and warm grainy vintage film treatment — nostalgic, gender-adaptive.
Using the attached photo as the direct reference for the face and likeness, generate the following: Create a stylish young adult with curly, voluminous hair and a well-groomed beard/mustache if present, wearing black sunglasses, in an authentic 1980s vintage photograph style. Aspect ratio: 4:5 vertical portrait, moderately tall, chest-up to waist-up framing. Pose (locked, must match exactly): seated casually, leaning back in a relaxed reclined position, one arm resting behind or beside them for support, body angled slightly to the side rather than facing the camera directly, chin tilted with a cool, detached, confident expression. Clothing (locked, must match exactly, adapt cut to the subject's gender as shown in the reference photo): a vintage blue denim jacket over a white graphic T-shirt with a colorful retro sunset-and-palm-tree print design (no readable text), paired with denim jeans. Fitted feminine cut through the jacket for a female subject, boxier masculine fit for a male subject. Hairstyle (adapt to the subject's gender as shown in the reference photo, matching the reference photo's own length and texture): if the subject is male, curly, voluminous hair with natural texture, well-groomed beard/mustache if present in the reference photo; if the subject is female, curly, voluminous hair with natural texture and body, no facial hair. Accessories: black sunglasses worn on the face. Photographic era and treatment (locked, must match exactly — this is the defining characteristic of the image): the photo must look like an authentic vintage photograph genuinely taken in the 1980s, not a modern polished digital photo. Warm, slightly oversaturated retro color palette with punchy warm oranges, ambers, and deep blues. Soft direct-flash-like frontal lighting mixed with warm sunset backlighting, flatter shadows than a modern cinematic shot, visible analog film grain throughout, slightly faded blacks, subtle color bleed, mild lens softness rather than crisp modern sharpness, a slightly nostalgic hazy glow overall — must resemble a genuine scanned print photograph from a 1980s film camera, not a contemporary DSLR editorial shot. Lighting and setting: the scene is set outdoors in warm golden hour sunlight with a softly blurred urban background of indistinct structures, enhancing the subject without distraction, but the overall polish must stay vintage and slightly imperfect rather than crisp and modern. Camera and style: authentic 1980s film-camera photographic character, natural skin tones with warm cast, rich vintage-toned colors, visible grain and texture in hair, denim fabric, and sunglasses, nostalgic retro editorial style — not a modern high-end DSLR look, not overly polished or artificially sharp. Negative: no readable text, no logos, no watermark, no altered facial identity or skin tone, no changes to hair length or texture from the reference photo, no masculine styling forced onto a female subject or feminine styling forced onto a male subject, no facial hair on a female subject, no busy or cluttered background, no standing pose, no modern crisp DSLR sharpness, no cinematic bokeh, no overly clean or polished modern photographic look.
