IDENTITY PRESERVATION INSTRUCTION: Using the uploaded photo as the primary reference, preserve the person's exact facial features, face shape, eye color, skin tone, and unique characteristics while transforming the image into a professional portrait. Maintain all recognizable facial details, natural expressions, and authentic appearance.

TRANSFORMATION DESCRIPTION: Transform the photo into a professional freelance business portrait. The subject should appear confident, approachable, and competent. Style the person in business-casual attire suitable for a freelancer - such as a crisp button-down shirt, professional blazer, or smart sweater. Create a clean, modern aesthetic that conveys trustworthiness and expertise. The overall look should be polished but not overly corporate, striking the right balance for creative professionals, consultants, and freelancers.

STYLE AND AESTHETIC PARAMETERS:
- Art style: Photorealistic professional photography with clean, modern aesthetics
- Lighting conditions: Soft studio lighting or natural window light with subtle fill light to eliminate harsh shadows. Professional three-point lighting setup with gentle key light from 45-degree angle, soft fill light, and subtle rim light for depth
- Color palette: Natural skin tones with subtle color grading. Professional color scheme - muted backgrounds (light gray, soft white, or warm beige) that complement skin tone. Slight cool or warm tones depending on the desired mood (cool for tech/consulting, warm for creative fields)
- Background treatment: Clean, minimal background - either soft blurred office environment, solid professional color (light gray, white, or muted blue), or subtle gradient. Background should be out of focus (bokeh) to keep emphasis on the subject
- Facial expression: Natural, confident expression with direct eye contact. Slight smile or neutral professional look. Eyes should be bright and engaging
- Grooming: Natural, well-groomed appearance. Hair styled neatly. Any facial hair should look tidy and intentional

TECHNICAL QUALITY PARAMETERS:
- High resolution, 4K, detailed
- Sharp focus on face with crisp facial features
- Professional quality, studio photography standards
- Natural skin texture preserved with minimal retouching (no heavy airbrushing)
- Proper exposure with good dynamic range
- Aspect ratio: 4:5 for vertical portrait, or 3:4 for standard headshot. Alternatively 1:1 for square format suitable for most platforms
- Depth of field: Shallow to medium, keeping eyes and face in sharp focus while background is pleasantly blurred

NEGATIVE PROMPT GUIDANCE: Avoid: distorted facial features, unrealistic proportions, blurry face, loss of likeness, heavy makeup, excessive retouching, unnatural skin smoothing, plastic appearance, awkward lighting, harsh shadows, distracting background elements, casual or inappropriate clothing, low resolution, pixelation, uncanny valley effect, unnatural eye color, mismatched skin tones, overexposed or underexposed areas, poor composition

USER CUSTOMIZATION: {additional_context}

ADDITIONAL NOTES: The transformation should look like a natural evolution of the original photo, not a complete replacement. The person should look like themselves on their best professional day. For best results, use a photo with good initial lighting and clear facial visibility. The AI will enhance the professionalism while maintaining authenticity.
