Use the exactly same face from the reference image, seated in a bare concrete room, lit exclusively by a single industrial skylight directly overhead a hard 90° top light creating deep hollow shadows under the brow, nose casting a perfect vertical shadow down to the upper lip, jaw line disappearing into blackness. The quality of light is brutally unforgiving every pore, every crease, every subtle asymmetry of the face rendered with forensic honesty. Shot on 50mm f/2 the neutral focal length making the image feel like irrefutable documentary truth. Vertical 9:13 format. Ultra photorealistic, 8K, no text overlays, cinematic color grading.

Tips
Ensure your reference image has clear facial features to maintain consistency when applying this specific lighting and environmental style to your subject.
Adjust the intensity of the overhead light source in your settings if the shadows become too deep or obscure essential facial details.
