Use the uploaded photo as the identity reference. Study the person's face, skin tone, eye shape, hair texture and features, and silently infer the most likely country or cultural region they belong to. Then recreate this exact same person as a star of that country's 1980s pop culture - its cinema, TV, music and fashion magazines of that decade - in one single image containing 6 to 8 different poses arranged as a retro magazine-style photo collage. Identity lock (most important): the face must be the same real person in every pose - same bone structure, nose, lips, eyes, eyebrows, skin tone, any moles or marks, same facial proportions. Only the hairstyle, outfit, jewellery, pose, expression and background change. Keep the person's natural gender and apparent age. Layout: one large hero pose fills roughly the left 60% of the frame - a three-quarter over-the-shoulder look back at camera with a confident smile. Around it, 5 to 7 smaller pose panels overlap each other with soft feathered edges like a hand-made 80s poster: close-up beauty portrait, playful blowing a kiss, side-profile glance, hands-on-hips full standing pose, seated pose leaning on an elbow, laughing candid, and a moody looking-away pose. Faces stay large and clearly visible in every panel. Era styling - pick everything from that country's real 1980s look: authentic 80s hairstyle of that region (big voluminous blow-dried curls, feathered layers, or a bouffant with a side clip for women; layered longer hair, moustache-era grooming or wet-look side part for men), and period-correct outfits from that culture - traditional dress of the region as it was worn in the 80s, plus one denim or leather jacket, bold geometric or floral prints, puff sleeves or wide lapels, oversized hoop or drop earrings, stacked bangles or a chunky watch, bright lipstick or era-correct makeup. Each pose wears a different outfit. Include small era props from that country: a cassette player, a rotary phone, a film magazine, vintage sunglasses, a vase of fresh flowers. Backgrounds: warm 80s photo-studio backdrops in maroon, teal and mustard, a velvet curtain, a wall of period posters, string lights, wooden furniture - all from that country's 80s aesthetic. Photography: shot on 1980s colour negative film, warm golden tungsten key light with soft fill, gentle halation on highlights, slightly soft focus, visible fine film grain, rich saturated but faded reds and teals, mild vignette, glossy magazine print finish. Photorealistic, high detail, faces sharp and clean. Palette: 60% warm amber and maroon tones, 30% deep teal and emerald, 10% hot pink accents. Output one single vertical portrait-orientation image with all poses in it, no text, no captions, no logos, no watermark.
