Mera Tiranga, Meri Shaan 🇮🇳

Create an ultra-realistic cinematic photographic portrait in a STRICT 9:16 VERTICAL composition, closely recreating the provided reference image in composition, framing, camera angle, subject placement, pose, proportions, environment, lighting, colors, shadows, depth, and overall visual atmosphere.

REFERENCE IMAGE:
Use the provided reference image as the PRIMARY visual reference. Recreate the same overall scene and visual arrangement as accurately as possible.

SUBJECT:
A young Indian man standing in the middle of a dense green forest/jungle, facing directly toward the camera. His upper body and face are clearly visible above the Indian national flag. Preserve the subject's exact facial appearance from the reference image if a character reference is provided: same face shape, skin tone, hairstyle, hairline, eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips, beard, moustache, facial proportions and natural expression. Do not beautify, redesign, age, de-age, or alter the identity.

POSE & COMPOSITION:
The subject stands centered in the frame.
His head is positioned around the upper-middle portion of the image.
He looks directly into the camera with a calm, serious, natural expression.
Both arms extend outward toward the left and right sides.
Both hands firmly hold the upper corners/edges of a large Indian national flag.
The flag is stretched horizontally across the subject's chest and covers most of his torso.
Hands and fingers must be anatomically realistic and naturally gripping the fabric.

INDIAN FLAG:
Use an accurate Indian national flag with three horizontal bands:
top saffron/orange,
middle white,
bottom India green.
Place a precise dark navy-blue Ashoka Chakra with 24 clearly defined spokes in the exact center of the white band.
The flag should look like real physical fabric, slightly wrinkled and naturally folded, with subtle fabric texture and realistic creases.
Do not distort the Ashoka Chakra.
Do not add any text, logo, watermark, symbol or additional graphics.
The flag must remain clearly recognizable as the Indian national flag.

CLOTHING:
The subject wears a simple dark/black shirt or T-shirt underneath the flag.
Only a small portion of the dark clothing is visible above and below the flag.
Keep the clothing simple and natural.

ENVIRONMENT:
Dense, lush tropical forest surrounding the subject.
Large amounts of natural green foliage, overlapping leaves, thin branches, vines and dark vegetation throughout the background.
The background should feel deep, wild, secluded and naturally overgrown.
No buildings, roads, vehicles, people, artificial objects or modern structures.

BACKGROUND:
Create strong natural depth with multiple layers of leaves and branches.
The background is darker than the subject and flag.
Some distant foliage has subtle soft green highlights while foreground and edge vegetation remains dark and shadowy.
Natural forest bokeh and shallow depth of field should separate the subject from the deeper background without making the environment disappear.

LIGHTING:
Moody cinematic natural lighting.
Soft diffused daylight filtering through dense tree foliage from above and behind.
The man's face is naturally illuminated with subtle warm skin highlights.
The flag is brighter than the surrounding forest and becomes the main visual focal point.
Deep green shadows around the edges of the frame.
Realistic contrast, natural skin tones, soft highlights and controlled shadows.
No studio lighting, no artificial neon light, no dramatic colored lights.

CAMERA:
Professional full-frame DSLR/mirrorless photography.
Vertical portrait orientation.
STRICT 9:16 aspect ratio.
Camera positioned approximately at eye level.
Straight-on frontal perspective.
Medium-distance framing showing the man's face, both hands, the entire main portion of the flag and some lower-body area surrounded by vegetation.
Natural perspective without fisheye distortion.
Approximately 50mm lens look.
Moderate shallow depth of field.
Sharp focus on the man's face, hands and flag.
Background foliage gradually becomes softer with distance.

IMAGE STYLE:
Ultra-realistic professional photography.
High-end cinematic color grading.
Natural documentary-style forest portrait.
Realistic skin pores and facial texture.
Realistic individual hair strands.
Realistic hands, fingers and fingernails.
Highly detailed fabric texture.
Authentic wrinkles and folds in the flag.
Natural imperfections.
Photorealistic lighting and shadows.
Subtle filmic contrast.
Deep natural greens with rich saffron/orange and clean white tones.
No excessive HDR.
No plastic skin.
No artificial AI-looking smoothness.

FRAMING:
Keep the subject centered.
Maintain the same approximate head position and flag position as the reference.
Keep both hands visible on opposite sides.
The forest foliage should surround the subject and partially frame him from all sides.
Preserve the dark foliage around the outer edges of the frame.
Do not crop the hands, face or main flag area.

DETAILS:
Photorealistic 8K detail,
high-resolution facial texture,
individual beard hairs,
individual hair strands,
realistic eyes,
natural skin pores,
realistic hands and fingers,
detailed leaf veins,
natural forest textures,
realistic fabric fibers,
subtle wrinkles in the flag,
accurate Ashoka Chakra with 24 spokes,
physically accurate shadows,
natural atmospheric depth,
cinematic photographic realism.

STRICT NEGATIVE PROMPT:
cartoon, anime, illustration, painting, CGI look, 3D render, plastic skin, artificial face, altered identity, different person, distorted face, deformed hands, extra fingers, missing fingers, fused fingers, duplicated hands, malformed eyes, asymmetrical face, distorted flag, incorrect Indian flag, incorrect Ashoka Chakra, missing Chakra, extra symbols, text, logo, watermark, excessive saturation, neon lighting, studio background, city, buildings, vehicles, other people, blurry face, low resolution, oversharpening, excessive HDR, unrealistic foliage, fake fabric, floating objects, fisheye distortion, extreme wide angle, cropped hands, cropped face.

FINAL OUTPUT:
STRICT 9:16 VERTICAL.
Ultra-realistic cinematic photograph.
Maximum similarity to the provided reference image.
Preserve the exact visual hierarchy, composition, pose, framing, lighting, environment and atmosphere of the reference.
