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 their appearance into a professional Michelin-starred chef. The face must remain completely recognizable and identical to the original photo.

TRANSFORMATION DESCRIPTION:
Transform the person into an elegant, professional Michelin-starred chef. Dress them in a crisp, immaculate white chef's jacket with black or dark blue piping, a traditional tall white chef's toque (hat), and a clean white apron. Add subtle, professional chef's accessories like a wooden cooking spoon or a small tasting spoon in hand. The expression should be confident, professional, and focused-like a chef captured during a quiet moment in a fine dining kitchen. Style the hair neatly under the chef's hat, with a few natural strands visible if appropriate.

STYLE AND AESTHETIC PARAMETERS:
- Art style: Photorealistic, cinematic portrait photography, professional studio quality
- Lighting: Soft, directional studio lighting with gentle key light on the face, subtle rim lighting to separate from background, warm temperature (3200K) to evoke kitchen warmth
- Color palette: Clean whites, warm skin tones, natural wood accents, muted background colors (soft grey, warm beige, or shallow depth of field kitchen background)
- Texture details: Crisp fabric texture on chef's jacket, natural linen weave on apron, realistic hair texture, natural skin pores and imperfections
- Background: Professional kitchen environment with subtle out-of-focus background-perhaps stainless steel prep surfaces, copper pans, or a clean restaurant kitchen. Shallow depth of field (f/2.8) to keep focus on the subject
- Mood: Sophisticated, professional, culinary excellence, confident

TECHNICAL QUALITY PARAMETERS:
- High resolution, 4K, detailed, ultra-sharp
- Sharp focus on face and eyes
- Professional portrait quality, DSLR camera look
- 85mm lens perspective, flattering facial proportions
- Natural skin texture preserved, no over-smoothing
- Professional color grading, balanced highlights and shadows
- Aspect ratio: 3:4 vertical portrait orientation (recommended for social media) or 4:5

NEGATIVE PROMPT GUIDANCE:
Avoid: distorted facial features, unrealistic proportions, blurry face, loss of likeness, costume-like appearance, cartoonish elements, plastic-looking textures, mismatched lighting on face versus body, unnatural clothing folds, oversized chef hat, theatrical makeup, unnatural skin smoothing, deformed hands or fingers

Additional tips: For best results, use a photo with clear facial visibility, neutral expression works best for professional transformations. The prompt will maintain your facial identity while realistically integrating you into the chef role. You can specify preferred chef hat style, apron type, or background preference in the customization section.
