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 Golden Age pirate character. The likeness must remain 100% recognizable as the original person.

TRANSFORMATION DESCRIPTION
Transform the subject into a realistic Golden Age pirate (17th-18th century). Add period-accurate pirate attire including a weathered leather coat, waistcoat, loose linen shirt, and a tricorn hat. Include a bandana or scarf tied around the head. Add a realistic pirate belt with a flintlock pistol holster and a cutlass sword sheathed at the hip. Incorporate subtle weathering on the skin-faint sunburn, wind exposure, and a light beard growth if appropriate for the face. The expression should be confident and adventurous.

STYLE AND AESTHETIC PARAMETERS
- Art style: Photorealistic, cinematic, historical portrait quality. High detail on fabrics and textures.
- Lighting conditions: Dramatic, moody lighting with warm candlelight or golden hour sunlight creating strong contrasts and shadows on the face and clothing.
- Color palette: Earthy tones-deep browns, burgundy, navy blue, gold accents, and muted brass. Skin tones remain natural and warm.
- Background treatment: Replace with a blurred, atmospheric ship deck, a foggy harbor, or a wooden tavern interior with soft focus to keep attention on the subject.
- Texture details: Weathered leather, coarse linen, metal buckles, and natural skin pores must be highly detailed.

TECHNICAL QUALITY PARAMETERS
- High resolution, 4K, detailed
- Sharp focus on face
- Professional quality portrait
- Aspect ratio: 1:1 (square) or 3:4 (portrait)

FINAL INSTRUCTIONS
Ensure the pirate costume fits naturally on the person's body proportions. The transformation should look like a professional costume photoshoot, not a digital painting. Keep the facial identity clear and dominant in the composition.
