I am looking for a skilled Photoshop editor to realistically edit an original photograph of me and my brother at a nighttime football game. I will provide three photos:

* Photo 1: The original photograph of me and my brother. This must remain the base image.
* Photo 2: A reference photo of me showing my natural facial features and hairstyle.
* Photo 3: A reference photo of my brother to help preserve his recognizable appearance.

1. MY APPEARANCE

Naturally edit the woman in Photo 1 so that she resembles me in Photo 2. Match my face shape, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, smile, skin tone, and overall appearance. My hair is long, dark brown with caramel-blonde highlights, side-swept bangs, and a braided section across the top. Keep my facial features realistic, properly aligned, and naturally lit.

Use Photo 2 only as a visual reference. Do not copy, cut out, paste, overlay, or swap my face. I want to look naturally like myself, not like an AI-generated person.

2. MY POSE WITH MY BROTHER

Adjust my position and pose so that I am naturally and affectionately hugging my brother. My arms, hands, body proportions, and physical contact with him must look realistic and believable, as though someone photographed us together in that moment.

3. STADIUM LIGHTING

Correct the lighting so that both of us are naturally illuminated from the front, near the camera position, rather than predominantly from behind. Make our faces and bodies clearly visible with realistic skin tones, highlights, shadows, and exposure.

Keep the original stadium lights visible in their existing positions. Do not replace the background or move the stadium lights themselves. Instead, simulate realistic front-facing illumination on us while maintaining the nighttime stadium atmosphere. Avoid artificial glow, overexposure, excessive smoothing, or harsh flash effects.

4. CHANGE MY SHIRT

Change my current cream-colored lace shirt to a simple, solid-white, short-sleeved cropped T-shirt. The shirt should have realistic cotton texture, natural folds, seams, shadows, and a flattering fit. The cropped hem should sit naturally around my waist, showing a modest amount of skin. Ensure the shirt fits my body and hugging pose realistically and matches the corrected stadium lighting.

Only change my shirt. Keep my dark jeans, accessories, and other details unchanged.

5. PRESERVE MY BROTHER

My brother must remain as close to his original appearance in Photo 1 as technically possible, using Photo 3 only as an identity reference. Do not intentionally alter or regenerate his face, facial expression, eyes, nose, lips, skin tone, hair, body, height, build, arms, hands, football uniform, WAIAKEA lettering, jersey number 35, pants, helmet, or equipment.

Use careful masking and localized editing to protect his face and all unaffected areas. Do not replace him with an AI-generated version of himself.

6. PRESERVE EVERYTHING ELSE

Keep the original stadium, football field, running track, background, goalposts, trees, distant people, colors, camera angle, framing, perspective, and photographic texture unchanged. Do not recreate or regenerate the entire photograph. Only make the four requested edits: my appearance, my hugging pose, the front-facing lighting, and my white cropped T-shirt.

Use professional Photoshop editing, careful masking, and realistic retouching rather than creating a completely new AI-generated image. The final result should look like a genuine photograph of the same two people, with natural facial features, realistic body contact, believable lighting, and no obvious editing artifacts.
