Use the uploaded reference photo as the **absolute and exclusive source of identity** for the man in the image. Replace the original musician completely with the person from the reference photo while preserving his exact facial identity, facial structure, skin tone, hairstyle, facial hair (if present in the reference), proportions, and overall appearance.
The final result must clearly and unmistakably depict the same person from the reference image. Do not reinterpret, beautify, age, de-age, stylize, or alter his identity in any way.
Create a **professional ultra-realistic editorial music portrait photograph** with cinematic lighting, premium commercial photography quality, and the appearance of a real photograph captured using a high-end full-frame camera in a professional rehearsal studio.
