The Desert Witness

Use this reference photo for the man’s face — his hairstyle, hair length, hair direction, hair texture, hairline, and haircut MUST remain EXACTLY the same as the reference photo in ALL panels.
No changes or artistic reinterpretation are allowed.
Create an ultra-realistic cinematic desert portrait collage, arranged as three horizontal panels stacked vertically.
The same man must appear in all panels — identical facial structure, skin tone, eye color, hair style, and expression identity.
Top Panel — Side-Profile Close-Up
A cinematic side-profile close-up of the man.
Requirements:
Hair MUST match the reference exactly. Only very subtle wind movement allowed, without changing silhouette.
Fine desert sand grains lightly rest on his eyelashes and warm skin.
He wears a light beige desert scarf or thin cotton shawl (not winter clothing).
Background: blurred sand dunes, warm sunlight, subtle heatwave distortion.
Lighting: warm golden-hour tones, shallow depth of field, natural ultra-detailed skin texture.
Middle Panel — Full-Body Back View
Full-body back view of the same man standing in the open desert during golden hour.
His hairstyle remains fully consistent with the reference — NOT reshaped by wind.
Clothing: lightweight desert outfit in warm sand-tone palette.
Visible footprints in the sand lead toward him.
Soft drifting sand particles move through warm sunlight.
Mood: introspective, cinematic, calm desert silence.
Bottom Panel — Extreme Close-Up
An extreme close-up of his eyes and upper face.
Hairstyle MUST remain identical to the reference photo.
Tiny sand particles rest on his eyelashes and edge of the scarf.
Warm golden sunlight reflects in his eyes, creating cinematic highlights.
Ultra-detailed 8K HDR realism, heat haze atmosphere.
