Use the attached image as the primary identity reference. Strictly preserve the subject’s facial structure, proportions, skin texture, hairstyle, and overall identity with high fidelity across all panels. No deviation. Create a black-and-white photobooth contact sheet arranged in a 4×4 grid (16 panels), perfectly aligned in a square (1:1) ultra-high-resolution format. Maintain thin, even gutters between panels and consistent framing throughout.
