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 them into a candle maker. The face must remain completely recognizable and identical to the original photo, with no distortion or alteration of facial structure.

TRANSFORMATION DESCRIPTION:
Transform the subject into a skilled artisan candle maker working in a rustic workshop. The person should be wearing appropriate artisan clothing: a linen apron with subtle wax drips, rolled-up sleeves showing forearms, and comfortable work attire. Add realistic wax residue on fingers and hands (natural, artistic stains, not damage). Include props like a metal pouring pitcher, wicks, wax blocks, or molds nearby. The expression should be focused and creative, showing concentration on the craft.

- Art style: Photorealistic, cinematic, warm and inviting atmosphere
- Lighting conditions: Soft, warm golden hour lighting from nearby windows or hanging lanterns, creating cozy shadows and highlights on the face
- Color palette: Warm earth tones - amber, cream, deep browns, soft oranges, with natural wood textures
- Background treatment: Rustic workshop environment with wooden shelves filled with candles, workbenches, natural materials, soft bokeh
- Texture details: Realistic fabric texture on apron and clothing, natural skin texture preserved, wax surface details, wood grain
- Mood: Artisanal, cozy, creative, professional craftsmanship

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

NEGATIVE PROMPT GUIDANCE:
Avoid: distorted features, unrealistic proportions, blurry face, loss of likeness, artificial-looking clothing, plastic skin texture, overexposed highlights, underexposed shadows, unnatural lighting, cartoonish style, low resolution, pixelation, extra limbs, mutated hands, fused fingers, extra fingers, deformed candles, melting wax effects that look like wounds or damage, any appearance of injury or harm, bloody or bleeding effects, wounds, cuts, scratches, skin damage, body harm, disfigured face, cross-eyed, asymmetrical eyes, unnatural eye color

- Clothing should appear worn but clean and professional
- Workshop background should be soft and atmospheric, not distracting from the face
- Maintain the original photo's lighting direction and quality as much as possible while adding the workshop atmosphere
- If original photo has specific lighting (studio, outdoor), blend it naturally with the warm workshop lighting
