Underwater snorkeling portrait

Create a **hyper-realistic underwater close-range portrait** using the **uploaded reference image as the sole and absolute source for the subject’s identity**. The subject’s **facial structure, proportions, skin tone, hairline, and overall likeness must remain 100% identical to the reference image**, with no alterations or substitutions of identity. The portrait is captured with a **wide-angle action camera** in a waterproof housing, positioned very close to the subject (approximately **0.5–1 meter** away), slightly **below face level and angled upward**. Wide-angle distortion enhances depth and immersion while keeping the subject visually dominant. Use a **mid-shot to three-quarter body framing**, with the face and upper body clearly visible and filling most of the frame. **Schools of tropical fish** swim closely around the subject, some passing near the lens to create layered depth and mild motion blur on the closest fish. **Wardrobe and gear (underwater-appropriate):** The subject wears **snorkeling-appropriate attire**, such as a **fitted rash guard or lightweight wetsuit top** in ocean-safe tones (deep blue, teal, or black), paired with **swim shorts or wetsuit bottoms**. A **clear or lightly tinted snorkeling mask** and **snorkel** are worn naturally, with straps fitting realistically around the head. Clothing and gear should appear functional, streamlined, and appropriate for snorkeling, moving gently with the water. **Lighting and water behavior:** Natural sunlight enters from above, creating **bright caustic light patterns** on the subject and surrounding water, with strong highlights near the surface and soft blue gradients below. **Floating water particles** are visible between the camera and subject, and subtle **refraction distortion** appears around the mask edges and hands. The subject appears **calm and relaxed**, floating effortlessly with subtle body movement suggesting buoyancy and steady breathing through the snorkel. A **shallow coral reef** is visible below, slightly softened by depth, while nearby fish remain sharper. The water surface shimmers above with gentle ripples. **Color and realism:** Natural underwater color absorption is respected, with dominant blues and aquas, vibrant yellow and black fish patterns preserved, and skin tones remaining realistic with a slightly cool underwater cast. The final image should feel like an **authentic, intimate snorkeling travel photograph**—immersive, natural, and photorealistic—captured at close distance. **Do not alter facial structure or identity under any circumstances; the subject must remain perfectly identical to the reference image.**
