Create a clean professional display portrait of one consenting adult. Preserve the person's exact face identity, actual age, hairstyle, facial hair, skin tone and body proportions. Use a navy or charcoal blazer over a simple open-collar shirt without logos, a warm-gray studio background, a calm approachable expression and soft professional key light with natural shadow detail. Frame the head and shoulders at eye level, centered inside a square-safe crop within a 4:5 canvas. Keep realistic skin texture and source-specific features. Do not create an official ID photo, alter ethnicity, add a corporate logo, excessive retouching, text, watermark or celebrity resemblance.

Quick answers
