Surreal Smoke & Birds Portrait

Use the uploaded photo as the primary identity reference for the person. Preserve the person's exact facial identity, facial structure, skin tone, facial proportions, eyes, nose, lips, jawline, beard pattern, hairline, hairstyle and all recognizable facial characteristics. The final subject must clearly resemble the person from the uploaded photo. Do not copy the facial identity of the person shown in the reference image.
Height & Physique
The person is 6'9" (205 cm) tall. Maintain realistic proportions consistent with this height, including naturally long limbs, proportionate shoulders, torso, arms and legs without stretching or anatomical distortion.
Hair Reference
Recreate the hairstyle and hair movement from the reference image: thick, naturally textured dark hair with strong volume, loose windswept strands, realistic individual hairs and subtle flyaways. Keep the person's natural hair color while matching the reference's messy cinematic texture.
Main Concept
Create an ultra-photorealistic surreal cinematic close-up portrait inspired directly by the reference image. Show the uploaded person facing forward with the face occupying most of the frame. The person must be looking directly into the camera with clear, natural and unmistakable eye contact. This direct eye contact is extremely important.
Create a dramatic transformation where the left side of the person's face, hair and shoulder gradually dissolves into dark smoke, dust, fragmented particles and a flock of flying birds, while the opposite side remains sharply realistic and fully recognizable. The transition must look organic and seamlessly connected to the person.
Face & Expression
Preserve the uploaded person's exact facial identity. Maintain realistic skin pores, facial texture and natural imperfections. Keep both eyes visible and focused directly toward the camera. Expression should be calm, serious, mysterious and emotionally intense.
Outfit
Dress the person in a premium dark charcoal or black textured crew-neck sweater with subtle realistic knit texture and natural folds. Keep the outfit simple so the face and surreal effect remain the main focus.
Surreal Effect
The dissolving side should contain layered dark smoke, fine dust, ash-like particles and fragmented facial textures flowing outward. Add numerous realistic dark birds emerging from the dissolving area and flying into the surrounding atmosphere. Vary bird sizes and sharpness naturally to create realistic depth. Do not allow the birds or smoke to obscure the person's eyes or central facial features.
Background
Create the same type of moody foggy blue-gray atmosphere as the reference image, with soft clouds, atmospheric haze and a dark cinematic background. Keep the environment minimal and uncluttered.
Color Grading & Visual Style
Match the reference image's color grading extremely closely. Use the same muted cold blue-gray and desaturated teal atmosphere, cool smoky shadows, restrained highlights, deep charcoal blacks and subtle warm natural skin tones. Recreate the reference's cinematic contrast, subdued saturation, cool atmospheric haze, soft tonal transitions and slightly dramatic teal-gray mood. The final image should have the same overall color palette, cinematic treatment, contrast, exposure, atmospheric depth and professional editorial finish as the reference image, while preserving the uploaded person's natural skin tone.
Lighting
Match the reference lighting style: soft directional cinematic light illuminating the face, controlled highlights on the hair and skin, gentle shadows across the facial contours and darker tonal separation around the dissolving side. Add subtle atmospheric light through the smoke while keeping the overall scene cool, moody and sophisticated.
Composition & Camera
Create a vertical 4:5 cinematic portrait. Frame the person from the top of the head to the upper torso, with the face dominating the composition. Keep the face sharply focused and centered. The dissolving effect should expand toward one side of the frame, creating strong visual balance. Use an 85mm professional portrait-lens aesthetic, shallow depth of field, realistic optical rendering and subtle cinematic film grain.
Image Quality
Prioritize extremely realistic skin pores, individual hair strands, realistic smoke and dust, detailed birds, accurate eyes, natural facial anatomy and professional camera rendering. Avoid plastic skin, distorted eyes, malformed facial features, duplicated birds, artificial smoke edges or obvious AI artifacts.
Mood & Style
Haunting, mysterious, emotional, cinematic, surreal, sophisticated and powerful. The final image should resemble a premium cinematic fashion editorial photograph with realistic surreal visual effects.
