Convert the input photo into a hyper-expressive 3D cartoon portrait in the exact style of the provided reference image, faithfully preserving the real facial features of the original person, including skin tone, eyebrows, lips, nose shape, beard, and overall bone structure, while subtly exaggerating proportions for a stylized cartoon look; eyes should be large and expressive, slightly bulging for comedic impact, and the face must show {argument name="expression" default="surprise or shock"} with a dramatically open mouth, thick glossy lips, and strong emotional intensity; skin must be realistically textured with visible pores and facial hair; include detailed accessories matching the input photo such as earrings, bandanas, or chains; lighting should be sharp and cinematic, featuring a dramatic key light from the left, soft fill from the right, and subtle rim lighting; use a clean or gradient background to keep focus on the character; maintain strict anatomical accuracy within a Pixar–Illumination hybrid visual language; render in high resolution with a clay-style material finish; final image must be in vertical 3:4 portrait aspect ratio, Eye-level intimate portrait with shallow depth of field, captured on Canon EOS R5 with RF 50mm f/1.2L USM lens, Moody chiaroscuro single-source side lighting with deep velvety shadows, authentic skin micro-textures, true-to-life surface physics, ultra-detailed editorial photography, Straight-on symmetrical frontal angle, captured on 70-200mm telephoto compressed lens, Soft overcast diffused daylight through a large north-facing window, natural surface physics, 8K ultra-detailed editorial photography --ar 9:16 --v 6.1 --style raw

### 🎭 Portrait Anatomy & Optical Breakdown
- **Subject**: Hyper-expressive 3D cartoon portrait
- **Pose**: Natural relaxed posture facing the lens
- **Framing**: Medium close-up portrait framing with head and shoulders focus
- **Camera Angle**: Eye-level direct angle for authentic human engagement
- **Focal Intent**: Optical 50mm optical lens portrait rendering with natural facial compression and no wide-angle distortion
- **Lighting**: Soft diffused directional key light with gentle fill shadow transition
- **Skin Rendering**: Subtle subsurface scattering, authentic micro-textures, natural pores without plastic airbrushing
- **Background Separation**: Shallow depth of field (f/1) creating smooth creamy bokeh separation from background elements
- **Identity Constraints**: Symmetrical anatomical proportions, sharp catchlights in eyes, clean jawline definition
