Identity: the face, skin, body and hair are the subject's own and never change. Where a hairstyle is described below, style the subject's own hair into it; never change the hair's colour, length or texture. Apply only the outfit, makeup, hairstyling, pose and setting described below.
Create a denim editorial portrait.
Subject: the subject seated on a plain wooden stool, full-length. The subject wears a dark indigo denim
baseball cap with a flat brim worn straight and low on the head, an oversized dark indigo denim
trucker jacket buttoned to the chest with flap chest pockets and a pointed front yoke, very wide
baggy dark indigo denim trousers that pool heavily over the shoes, and low silver metallic
sneakers.
Action: seated on the stool with the subject's knees wide apart and both feet flat on the floor, torso turned
15 degrees to the subject's left. The subject's right hand holds the handset of a yellow vintage rotary telephone to
the subject's right ear with the elbow raised and out; the subject's left hand supports the phone base low against the subject's
left thigh, the coiled yellow cord looping loosely between handset and base. Head tilted down and
to the subject's left, chin lowered, eyes cast down, lips closed, expression relaxed and absorbed.
Setting: a mottled warm terracotta plaster backdrop with soft tonal variation and faint marks and
scuffs, a bare grey concrete floor beneath, no props beyond the stool and the telephone.
Visual style: photoreal editorial photography, warm earthy palette of indigo, terracotta and grey,
denim weave and topstitching clearly resolved, fine film
grain.
Composition: vertical frame, camera at chest height, subject centred and full-length with clear
space above the cap and the concrete floor visible across the lower edge, the backdrop filling the
frame behind the subject.
Lighting: soft directional light from the front left, gentle diffuse shadow falling to the right
along the backdrop and beneath the stool, low contrast, warm overall tone, soft highlights on the
metallic sneakers and the telephone.
Text inside: none — the cap and all garments carry no logo, wordmark, patch or lettering.
Constraints: never place a team, brand or manufacturer logo, patch or wordmark on the cap, jacket,
trousers or shoes, never lower the phone from the subject's ear or separate the cord, never bring the knees
together, never lift the chin or open the eyes to the lens, never smile, never stand the subject up, never
crop the shoes or the top of the cap, never add props beyond the stool and telephone, never cool or
desaturate the warm palette, never change the subject's face, skin or body, and never change the colour, length or texture of the subject's hair — style it only as described.
Output: 4:5 vertical.
