Me now, me then

Ultra-realistic cinematic portrait of a father and his younger self (“me then, me now”) in a professional studio environment. Use the uploaded reference images at 1:1 scale. Preserve the exact facial features, identity, skin tone, hair texture, and proportions of both subjects. The adult version must clearly match the child as the same person at a later age. No face alteration, no beautification, no stylization drift. Composition: The adult man sits casually on a minimal industrial metal stool, slightly leaned forward with relaxed confidence. Next to him, his 5-year-old younger self sits on a simple wooden crate, mimicking the exact same pose and facial expression, creating a mirrored visual connection. Wardrobe: Adult: fitted black leather jacket over a clean white t-shirt, dark jeans, modern sneakers Child: white polo shirt, light blue ripped jeans, Nike Air Jordan low sneakers Expression: Both subjects show a confident, natural smile, subtle but authentic — not exaggerated. Environment: dark studio background with smooth gradient (black to deep grey) light atmospheric smoke for depth and cinematic layering clean, uncluttered composition Lighting: professional studio lighting setup strong key light from front/side shaping the face subtle rim light separating subjects from background soft shadows, high contrast but realistic natural skin texture preserved (no over-smoothing) Camera: 85mm portrait lens look shallow depth of field sharp focus on both faces Image quality: ultra-detailed, 8K resolution high-end magazine editorial style realistic textures (skin, fabric, smoke) Style: cinematic, emotional, timeless, premium editorial photography Aspect ratio: 9:16
