IDENTITY PRESERVATION INSTRUCTION:
Using the uploaded photo as reference, preserve the person's exact facial features, face shape, eye color, skin tone, and unique characteristics while transforming the image into a professional TED Talk speaker portrait. Maintain the original identity and likeness throughout the transformation.

TRANSFORMATION DESCRIPTION:
Transform the subject into a confident TED Talk speaker captured during a moment of impactful delivery. The person should appear poised, articulate, and engaging, as if sharing a breakthrough idea on stage. Apply a professional speaker's attire and posture. The image should convey authority, warmth, and intellectual curiosity, suitable for a high-profile conference setting.

STYLE AND AESTHETIC PARAMETERS:
- Art style: Cinematic photorealism, high-end editorial photography, 8K professional portrait
- Lighting: Dramatic studio lighting with a subtle spotlight effect on the subject's face, creating depth and dimension. Soft key light from the front-left, gentle fill light to reduce harsh shadows, and a subtle rim light to separate the subject from the background. The lighting should feel warm and inviting, not harsh.
- Color palette: Warm, rich tones with a focus on skin tones. Slightly desaturated background colors to make the subject pop. The overall mood is professional, inspiring, and human.
- Background: A soft, blurred stage environment or a minimalist abstract background with subtle depth. The background should be out of focus (bokeh) to draw all attention to the speaker's face and expression. Can include a hint of a dark, professional stage setting or a clean, neutral gradient.
- Attire: Professional business casual or smart casual (e.g., blazer, collared shirt, sweater). The clothing should look natural and fit the subject's body type.

TECHNICAL QUALITY PARAMETERS:
- High resolution, 4K, detailed, ultra-sharp
- Sharp focus on face, eyes, and expression
- Professional quality, award-winning photography style
- Aspect ratio: 16:9 (cinematic) or 4:3 (standard portrait) - user preference
- Natural skin texture preserved, no over-smoothing
- Detailed hair texture and fabric details on clothing

NEGATIVE PROMPT GUIDANCE:
Avoid: distorted facial features, unrealistic proportions, blurry face, loss of likeness, unnatural skin smoothing, garish colors, cluttered background, distracting elements, poorly rendered hands, unnatural posture, cartoonish style, low resolution, pixelation, artifacts, deformed eyes, asymmetrical face, watermark, text, signature.

FINAL INSTRUCTIONS:
Ensure the final image looks like a high-quality photograph taken by a professional photographer at a TED event. The subject should look directly at the camera or slightly off-center with a confident, approachable expression. The overall composition should be balanced and visually striking.
