The Liner That Will Not Fit

Use the attached reference photo as the identity reference: keep the same face, skin tone, hair and features as the person in that photo, without beautifying, aging or altering them. Create a square 1:1 museum-catalog frame with a strong first read and a slower second read at exactly 2880x2880 pixels. Location: a concrete apartment stairwell landing between two upper floors. Show the subject in a dark hooded sweatshirt over plain trousers and canvas shoes, setting a full carrier bag down on the step. The difficulty must be visible in this, not in their expression: an unlined bin standing open beside a roll of liners that run two fingers narrow of its rim carries a whole routine on one part that nobody outside would notice. Explore what it costs to rebuild an order that already worked well; expression occupied, not expressive, carrying working composure, difficulty stated at its actual scale. Hold a static 45mm viewpoint just behind their shoulder with the object fully legible. Make the composition keep the changed object sharp and everything habitual soft. Render it as museum-grade domestic portraiture combining plain reportage framing, truthful worn surfaces, physically correct contact shadows, and unhurried everyday staging, using even mid-morning shade with bounced floor light filling the lower half and a palette of pale sand, soft charcoal, and faded plastic green. Photorealistic: this must read as a real photograph from a physical camera, never an illustration, painting, or 3D render. Resolve real surface detail: thread ends and slight pilling on worn cloth, hairline chips at every hard corner, and stone that is porous rather than smooth. Keep one identity-locked person, credible hands and fingers, natural fabric, and coherent scale, contact, reflections, shadows, airflow, deformation, and materials. Background people only when essential, always secondary and clearly different. Avoid melancholy posed at windows, showroom kitchens, hands clutching the head, inspirational lighting, and clockwork-brain imagery. No text, labels, logos, signatures, watermarks, random symbols, plastic skin, excessive bloom, or glossy AI finish.
