Image: A NEUTRAL PLAYER PORTRAIT TEMPLATE for a fictional

Generated from: A NEUTRAL PLAYER PORTRAIT TEMPLATE for a fictional cricket management game — the standard headshot used across the whole player database. ABSOLUTE RULE: the picture contains NOT ONE SINGLE CHARACTER. No letters, no words, no digits, no name plate, no shirt number, no sponsor wordmark, no watermark. Do not write out any word from this instruction anywhere in the image. SUBJECT: one cricketer photographed as a formal database headshot — head and shoulders only, squared to the camera, shoulders level, chin level, eyes on the lens, a neutral composed expression that is neither smiling nor stern. He wears a plain navy match shirt with a small original crest on the left chest and a completely blank sponsor panel. No cap, no helmet, no sunglasses, nothing covering the face. FRAMING, exactly as a database template requires: the head is centred horizontally, the top of the head sits a comfortable margin below the upper edge, and the crop ends mid-chest. Identical framing must be reproducible for every other player in the database. LIGHTING: even, soft, frontal studio lighting from a large source, a gentle fill on the shadow side, no harsh shadow across the face, no dramatic rim light, no coloured gels. The same lighting must be repeatable for hundreds of portraits. BACKGROUND: a plain, flat, evenly lit neutral mid-grey backdrop with no gradient, no vignette, no texture and no shadow cast onto it, so the subject can be cut out cleanly. The player is an adult of unremarkable, believable appearance — an invented person, resembling no real cricketer or public figure. Photorealistic portrait photography, sharp eyes, natural skin texture with visible pores, natural skin tone, plausible anatomy, no beauty-filter smoothing, no HDR oversaturation, no perspective distortion.
