The prompt

Style: Photorealistic digital cinematography — rendered as if captured on a real camera, with natural real-world materials, textures, and lighting (skin, fabric, wood, glass, etc., all rendered with real photographic texture). Not illustrated, not animated, not a cartoon, not CGI-rendered, not a painting. Mid-20s man, short dark hair, denim jacket over a white shirt. Character reference sheet / turnaround: front view, 3-quarter view, overhead view, side/3-quarter view, plus a close facial portrait, plus an expression map: anxious, waiting, warm smile, listening, smiling, earnest, content, laughing, tender. Framings needed across the sheet: full-body, bust, face, hands. Every panel the same outfit, proportions, identity, and rendering style stated above. Neutral grey background, flat even lighting across all panels, no shadows or accessories obscuring the face.
