Using the provided reference image, keep the same person and the same blue polo shirt, but transform the casual poolside selfie into a clean professional studio head-and-shoulders portrait. Remove the entire outdoor resort background and replace it with a solid warm orange backdrop. Reframe the shot so the subject is centered, facing the camera straight-on, cropped from mid-chest upward, with even soft studio lighting and a sharp, polished photo quality. Eliminate the selfie feel, background distractions, and other people, and add a small white four-point sparkle icon in the bottom-right corner.
