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 placing them into the new scene. The person's identity must remain completely recognizable and authentic.

TRANSFORMATION DESCRIPTION: Transform the photo into a realistic scene of a diploma/thesis defense in a university auditorium. Place the person standing at a podium or presentation desk in front of a presentation screen or blackboard. The person should be dressed in appropriate academic attire (business suit, blazer, or formal dress) appropriate for a defense. The setting should include lecture hall elements: wooden desks, academic audience silhouettes in the background, presentation slides or charts visible on screen, and professional lighting. The person should appear confident and engaged, possibly gesturing while speaking or standing attentively at the podium.

STYLE AND AESTHETIC PARAMETERS:
- Photorealistic, professional documentary photography style
- Cinematic lighting: mix of stage lighting from above and projection screen glow
- Warm, academic color palette: wood tones, soft yellows, professional blues
- Professional, serious mood with subtle confidence
- Background: University lecture hall or auditorium with blurred audience
- Clothing: Formal business attire (blazer, dress shirt, professional dress) appropriate for academic defense
- Props: Wooden podium, presentation screen with charts/data, microphone, academic desk

TECHNICAL QUALITY PARAMETERS:
- High resolution, 4K, detailed
- Sharp focus on face and upper body
- Professional quality, studio-grade image
- Aspect ratio: 16:9 (widescreen) or 3:4 (portrait) depending on preference

NEGATIVE PROMPT GUIDANCE: Avoid: distorted facial features, unrealistic proportions, blurry face, loss of likeness, unnatural lighting on skin, distorted body proportions, artificial-looking clothing, poorly integrated subject, mismatched perspective, unnatural shadows, overly dramatic or theatrical appearance, cartoonish elements, low resolution artifacts.

USER CUSTOMIZATION: {additional_context}

ADDITIONAL TIPS:
- For best results, use a photo with clear facial visibility and neutral expression
- The prompt can be adjusted for specific fields (science, arts, engineering) by mentioning relevant visual elements
- You can specify particular clothing preferences in the {additional_context} section
- For more formal results, request "academic gown and cap" in customization
- For more casual academic settings, request "business casual" in customization

This prompt works with Midjourney, DALL-E 3, Stable Diffusion, Flux, and other AI image generators that support photo transformation and reference images.
