Use the uploaded photo as the primary face and character reference.
Keep the person’s identity 100% identical to the photo: same facial features, bone structure, skin tone, gender, perceived age, hairstyle shape, and overall facial proportions. Do not change the person’s gender and do not make the face younger or older. Preserve the exact facial expression, nose, eyes, lips, jawline, and any unique marks such as moles, freckles, scars, and skin texture. The generated character must look like the same real person from the reference photo, just translated into the described mosaic relief style.
(If you use tokens, you can phrase as:)
"Keep the face identity exactly the same as [REFERENCE_IMAGE], including facial structure, skin tone, age impression, hairstyle shape, expression and unique marks."

Lighting
Cinematic three-point lighting with strong depth and dimensional shadows, soft but directional key light shaping the face, subtle rim light separating the silhouette from the background, gentle fill light preserving skin texture, controlled highlights on the mosaic tiles, emphasizing the weathered bronze and oxidized teal patina, high dynamic range, moody but readable contrast.
Camera and lens
Portrait shot, chest-up or shoulders-up framing, camera at eye level, slight 3/4 angle, 50mm to 85mm prime lens equivalent for natural facial proportions, shallow depth of field with background softly blurred but still showing hints of the architectural mosaic environment, high-resolution digital cinema camera, extremely crisp focus on the eyes and facial features.
Extra detail / style tuning (optional block)
Highly consistent facial identity with the reference photo, no age regression or aging, no gender change, no expression change. Maintain the same hairstyle silhouette and hairline while translating hair into the mosaic relief aesthetic. Preserve all unique facial marks and texture. Emphasize fine micro-details in tiles, cracks, patina, and reflections to achieve an 8k ultra-detailed finish.
