Layout & Structure: Generate a high-resolution 3x3 image grid (total of 9 panels) featuring a tight photographic close-up of the face of the exact individual from the attached reference photo. The grid must follow a strict chronological aging order from left to right, top to bottom. Maintain a fixed, locked-off camera position (portrait framing, mid-chest up), identical eye-level gaze into the lens, and a consistent neutral studio background across all nine squares. Character Consistency & Aging Progression: The subject’s core facial bone structure, eye shape and color, skin undertone, and unique identifying features must remain absolutely identical to the reference photo in every frame. The goal is a realistic simulation of aging on this specific person. They must be instantly recognizable as the same individual from toddlerhood to age 90. Do not change their identity, only their age. The 9-Panel Sequence: Panel 1 (Toddler, approx 2 years): Very round face, significant baby fat, smooth flawless skin, wide innocent eyes, soft undefined hair. Panel 2 (Young Child, approx 6 years): Losing baby fat, facial structure beginning to define, clear youthful skin, bright expression. Panel 3 (Age 10): Pre-teen look, youthful features fully formed, smooth skin texture, direct gaze. Panel 4 (Age 16): Peak adolescence, perhaps very minor adolescent skin texture, full youthful volume in face and hair. Panel 5 (Age 20): Young adult prime, peak maturity, flawless skin complexion, sharp jawline and features. Panel 6 (Age 35): Mature adult. Very first signs of aging: faint fine lines around the eyes (crow's feet) when smiling slightly, slightly settled skin. Panel 7 (Age 50): Middle age. Deeper expression lines on forehead and around eyes, slight loss of skin elasticity, hair shows signs of greying (if applicable to original hair color). Panel 8 (Age 70): Senior. Significant wrinkles and folds, sun spots/age spots on skin, loosening of skin around jaw and neck, hair is predominantly grey or white. Panel 9 (Age 90): Elderly. Deeply set wrinkles and creases, translucent and thin skin texture, significant age spots, wise and weathered expression, hair is white/thin. Technical Specs: Hyper-photorealistic portrait photography. Consistent natural soft-box studio lighting positioned to highlight the changing texture of the skin over time. Extremely sharp focus on the eyes and skin details. 105mm macro portrait lens aesthetic. Shallow depth of field, blurred neutral background.
