"Snowy Cabin Retreat Editorial Portrait"

Do not change the subject's facial bone structure, eye shape and 
color, nose shape, lip shape, jawline, or skin tone in any way — keep 
it 100% identical to the original photo. Body build and proportions 
unchanged. Non-negotiable.

LIGHTING SETUP (as a real photographer would dial it in): Key light — 
warm firelight glow from an unseen fireplace inside the cabin, spilling 
through a window onto the porch, acting as a soft warm key from 
camera-right at chest height. Fill — soft cool ambient light from the 
snowy landscape outside, gently balancing the warm key at close to a 
2:1 ratio. Rim light — the cold outdoor light grazes his hair and 
jacket edge from behind, creating a subtle cool-toned rim against the 
warm interior glow. Catchlights in his eyes should be warm and soft, 
reflecting the firelight.

LENS & OPTICS: Simulate an 85mm lens at f/2.0 — flattering facial 
compression, background rendered as soft creamy bokeh with a snow-
covered pine forest and falling snowflakes gently blurred, gentle 
fall-off in sharpness away from the focal point, faint natural 
vignette at the corners.

FILM/COLOR SCIENCE: Warm-cool winter film response — firelight 
highlights bloom softly rather than clipping, shadows lifted with a 
faint cool-blue tint rather than crushed black, warm amber skin 
midtones held steady against the cooler snowy background for natural 
depth separation.

Style: A thick knit sweater or flannel-lined jacket, beanie pushed 
back slightly, a warm scarf loosely draped, natural wind-tousled hair, 
a steaming mug held casually.

DIRECTED POSE (as if a photographer is instructing him in real time): 
Leaning against the wooden porch railing with one forearm resting on 
it, other hand wrapped around a steaming mug near his chest, body 
angled at three-quarters to the camera, head turned toward the lens 
with a relaxed tilt, breath faintly visible in the cold air.

GENUINE DIRECTED EXPRESSION: A calm, warm half-smile with softly 
relaxed eyes, chin very slightly lowered — the natural composed look 
right after a photographer says "just get cozy with the mug, then 
look over at me," not a stiff or forced grin.

RETOUCH PIPELINE: Frequency-separation-style retouching — smooth 
tonal transitions on skin while fully preserving fine pore-level 
texture and natural color variation under the mixed warm/cool 
lighting. Subtle dodge-and-burn to retain natural facial planes, no 
flattened or washed-out glow.

FINISHING: Fine film grain overlay at low opacity, very slight 
chromatic softness at the frame edges as a real lens would render, no 
digital sharpening halos, natural imperfect crop as if not perfectly 
composed in-camera.

Ensure zero facial distortion, correct hand anatomy, and consistent 
shadow/light-source logic between the warm firelight key and cool 
snowy fill.
