Your reference-photo prompt
Use the uploaded photo as the identity reference. Create a photorealistic portrait of the same adult person. Preserve their facial identity, face shape, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, skin tone, age, facial hair if present and distinctive features such as freckles. Do not beautify, reshape the face, change gender presentation or make the person younger. Hairstyle, clothing, setting and photographic treatment may change. Scene: A quiet American city street in 1988. A voluminous side-parted hairstyle, a teal-and-cream color-block windbreaker over a plain white T-shirt and high-waisted straight-leg jeans. Waist-up candid portrait beside a red brick facade, with indistinct older cars in the distance. Overcast daylight, slightly cool consumer 35mm film colors and natural grain. No visible brand names or readable street signs. Keep the face clearly visible and eyes sharp, with natural skin texture. Portrait orientation, 3:4 composition. One adult person only. No text, borders, logos, watermarks or distressed print damage.

What can change?
Hair, makeup, clothes, accessories, pose, background and photographic style can change. The prompt asks to preserve facial identity and age, but results need checking. These are period-inspired interpretations, not historical reconstructions.
