The complete prompt
Create an ultra-realistic fine-art black-and-white studio portrait using my uploaded face photo as the PRIMARY IDENTITY REFERENCE and the provided image as the STRICT VISUAL REFERENCE. Recreate the reference image as closely as possible in composition, camera angle, pose, facial expression, lighting, contrast, background, framing, and photographic style.
IDENTITY — HIGHEST PRIORITY
Use my uploaded face as the exact identity reference. Preserve my recognizable facial identity and natural facial proportions: face shape, forehead, eyebrows, eyes, eye spacing, nose structure, lips, cheeks, jawline, chin, and natural skin texture. Do not beautify, redesign, reshape, age, de-age, or otherwise alter my identity. The generated subject must unmistakably look like the same person as my uploaded face reference.
EXACT POSE & COMPOSITION
Recreate the reference as an extreme close-up side-profile portrait. The face occupies most of the vertical frame. The subject is shown from the side, with the nose pointing toward the right side of the image. Head slightly tilted upward, chin subtly elevated, creating the same elegant upward-looking posture.
Keep the exact visual geometry of the reference:
One eye visible in sharp focus.
Eyebrow and eyelashes clearly defined.
Nose forms a strong clean side-profile silhouette.
Lips slightly parted in the same relaxed position.
Chin gently raised.
Neck extending diagonally downward toward the lower-left portion of the frame.
Hair framing the upper and left portions of the face.
Large areas of negative space surrounding the illuminated facial profile.
Tight crop with the face dominating the composition.
Do not turn the subject toward the camera. Do not create a frontal portrait or three-quarter portrait. Maintain the exact side-profile orientation.
EXPRESSION
Match the reference's subtle, contemplative expression exactly: calm, introspective, slightly dreamy, emotionally neutral, with the gaze directed upward/right. Lips naturally relaxed and slightly parted. No smile, no exaggerated emotion, no dramatic frown.
HAIR
Preserve my natural hairstyle and identity from the face reference while adapting the hair to the reference composition. Dark natural hair with realistic individual strands. Hair should blend naturally into the surrounding black background, with only selected strands receiving subtle highlights.
BLACK-AND-WHITE STYLE
Strictly monochrome black and white. Absolutely no color.
Use rich deep blacks, smooth charcoal midtones, and luminous silver-white highlights. Preserve realistic skin texture and pores rather than creating artificially smooth skin. The tonal range should resemble an expertly printed fine-art black-and-white photograph.
LIGHTING — MATCH REFERENCE
Recreate the dramatic single-direction low-key studio lighting:
Strong soft light illuminating the forehead, eyebrow, eye, upper cheekbone, nose bridge, nose tip, lips, and chin.
Deep shadow covering much of the opposite side of the face.
Very gradual transition between illuminated and shadow areas.
Strong sculptural highlight along the nose and cheek.
Subtle catchlight in the visible eye.
Hair and background falling naturally into near-black shadows.
No visible studio equipment.
The lighting must sculpt the face rather than flatten it.
BACKGROUND
Use a pure, seamless, deep-black studio background with no objects, no texture, no gradient distractions, no scenery, and no visible environment.
The background should merge naturally with the shadowed portions of the hair and face, creating an elegant floating-profile effect.
CAMERA & FRAMING
Vertical portrait composition, approximately 2:3 aspect ratio.
Extreme close-up professional portrait photography, approximately 85–135mm portrait/macro lens aesthetic, shallow depth of field, precise focus on the visible eye and central facial features.
Match the reference crop precisely: face filling most of the frame while leaving substantial black negative space around the profile. Keep the nose, lips, chin, and neck in the same relative positions as the reference.
PHOTOREALISM
Ultra-realistic professional photography. Natural human anatomy and facial proportions. Realistic skin pores, fine facial hairs, eyelashes, eyebrow hairs, subtle skin texture, realistic eye reflections, natural lips, physically accurate shadows and highlights.
Avoid the appearance of AI-generated skin. The final image should look like it was captured by a professional fine-art portrait photographer using a real camera and controlled studio lighting.
FINAL VISUAL MOOD
Minimalist, mysterious, sophisticated, emotional, timeless, high-fashion fine-art photography. The image should feel intimate and cinematic while remaining extremely realistic.
NEGATIVE PROMPT
color, colored skin, warm tones, blue tones, CGI, 3D render, illustration, cartoon, painting, artificial skin, plastic skin, excessive beauty retouching, altered identity, different person, changed facial structure, frontal face, three-quarter face, wrong profile direction, looking downward, smile, exaggerated expression, open mouth, distorted nose, distorted lips, asymmetrical eyes, extra eyes, malformed face, unrealistic eyelashes, fake skin texture, excessive sharpening, low resolution, blur, noisy image, oversaturated highlights, flat lighting, multiple light sources, visible background objects, gray studio backdrop, text, watermark, logo
REFERENCE PRIORITY: Face identity from my uploaded face photo = highest priority. The provided reference image = strict blueprint for pose, profile direction, framing, expression, lighting, monochrome grading, background, crop, and overall photographic aesthetic. Change the identity to my face while preserving the reference's visual structure as closely as possible.Copy the complete prompt and use your own reference photos where requested.
