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: Backstage at a small rock concert in 1987. A tousled voluminous rock hairstyle, a black leather jacket over a plain charcoal crew-neck shirt and a simple silver chain. Waist-up portrait with a blurred red stage light and dim blue practical lighting behind the person. Gentle neutral fill keeps the face clear and recognizable. Period 35mm high-ISO color grain, realistic skin, understated smoky eye makeup only if appropriate. No instruments, band logos or signage. 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.
