1985 school photo-day portrait

Use my uploaded photo. Keep my face exactly as it is — same bone structure, nose, eyes, lips, skin tone and natural asymmetry. Age is part of identity here: keep my visible age exactly as it appears in the photo. Do not make an adult look like a schoolchild and do not make a child look older — if the uploaded photo shows an adult, render an adult wearing this uniform in this setting, because the setting does not change my age. No slimming, lightening or smoothing. Change only my hair, clothes, pose and background. Make this a 1985 Indian school photo-day portrait: hair oiled and firmly combed, a sharp side parting for short hair or two tight plaits tied with folded cloth ribbons for long hair, flat and neat with no volume. A 1985 school uniform — a pressed white cotton shirt buttoned to the collar, a maroon-and-gold striped tie knotted slightly too tightly, a navy pullover or a pinafore over the shirt, and a small embroidered school crest on the pocket rendered as an indistinct woven patch with no legible lettering. Nothing in my hands. I am sitting on a wooden stool, body angled about twenty degrees from camera, shoulders squared, hands flat on my thighs, head turned back to the lens and level, with a small slightly self-conscious closed-mouth smile — the expression of someone told to sit still. Behind me a mottled grey-blue canvas backdrop rolled down against the hall wall, with a sliver of skirting board visible at the very bottom edge. Light it with a single portable flash on a stand, high and to the left, fired into a small umbrella — harder than a studio softbox but softer than direct flash: a defined shadow under my nose, a soft shadow on the backdrop behind my right shoulder, and no fill on the opposite side so the shadow side of my face stays a little dark. 35mm film printed small on matte paper, 1985: grain, slightly flat contrast, warm skin, faded colour, and the faint texture of matte print paper. Vertical 3:4, mid-chest up.
