Key instructions to preserve
SCENE: Subject rendered as the cover of a fictional Sports Illustrated issue — a pure athletic champion portrait.
GuardrailDo not invent a specific sport or team name.
IDENTITY LOCK: Use the uploaded photo as the sole identity reference. Preserve the subject's facial structure, skin tone, eye shape, hairstyle, and every distinguishing feature exactly — the person must remain instantly recognizable. SCENE: Subject rendered as the cover of a fictional Sports Illustrated issue — a pure athletic champion portrait. The subject's own clothing becomes athletic wear by context. They face the camera with a winner's composure: not celebrating with arms raised, but the quiet authority of someone who has just proven they are the best in the world. A stadium or arena is blurred behind them. PHYSICS & CRAFT: The stadium lighting creates the environment — powerful tungsten stadium floods from above provide a warm 3200K overhead key that sculpts cheekbones and brow structure beautifully, the same light that makes every great sports portrait look iconic. Arena fill bounces back from the crowd in a diffused warm ambient that wraps the shadow side of the face gently. TECHNICAL EXECUTION: 200mm telephoto feel compressed against the blurred arena background, f/4, face razor sharp including individual sweat droplets if physically present, bokeh background of stadium lights and crowd as blurred geometric shapes. High contrast, rich saturation, Sports Illustrated color signature — saturated athletic energy. Masthead in iconic SI red and white. HARD CONSTRAINTS: Do not invent a specific sport or team name. Do not add athletic equipment unless naturally present in the composition. The subject should not be in mid-action — this is a portrait of a champion between moments. No trophies in frame.
