The complete prompt
Create a highly photorealistic cinematic full-body portrait of me, using my uploaded personal photo as the ONLY and mandatory identity reference for the main subject. Use the provided reference image ONLY for pose, body positioning, composition, wardrobe styling, camera perspective, environment, lighting, and overall cinematic visual language. Do NOT copy the reference person's face or identity.
IDENTITY — ABSOLUTE PRIORITY:
Preserve my identity with maximum possible accuracy. Keep my exact natural face shape, facial proportions, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, jawline, cheekbones, ears, skin tone, hairline, hairstyle, natural hair texture, facial hair/stubble pattern, age, and every distinctive facial characteristic from my personal photo. I must look unmistakably like myself. Do not replace my face with the reference person's face, do not blend identities, and do not create a generic model face.
POSE:
Recreate the reference pose naturally. Show me standing upright beside an old textured brick building, with my body turned approximately 30–45 degrees away from the camera while my face turns back toward the camera. Keep a relaxed but confident posture. Place one hand naturally inside my trouser pocket, with the other arm relaxed naturally along my side. Slightly shift my weight onto one leg. Keep my shoulders relaxed and masculine, with a subtle sophisticated expression. The pose should feel candid, effortless, confident, and natural rather than stiff.
FRAMING & COMPOSITION:
Vertical 9:16 full-body composition, with my entire body visible from head to polished shoes. Keep me prominently centered/slightly off-center, closely matching the reference's framing and amount of surrounding architecture. Camera approximately at chest-to-eye level with a natural perspective. Maintain realistic body proportions.
WARDROBE:
Dress me in a perfectly tailored deep navy/near-black classic suit, with a structured single-breasted jacket and matching trousers. Underneath, a crisp white formal dress shirt and an elegant deep burgundy/wine-red tie with a slim metallic tie clip. Add polished black leather formal shoes and a simple classic belt. The suit should have realistic wool texture, natural creases, authentic tailoring, accurate shoulder construction, and realistic fabric behavior.
BACKGROUND / LOCATION:
Place me beside an authentic old European/English-style weathered brick building, similar in architectural character to the reference. Include aged brown/tan masonry, visible mortar lines, a dark green painted doorway or vertical architectural element behind me, subtle weathering, and understated urban details. Keep the background believable and period-inspired without looking like a movie set.
LIGHTING:
Soft natural overcast daylight with gentle directional illumination. Subtle highlights on my face and suit, realistic shadows between the folds of the clothing, and natural ambient light reflecting from the brick wall. Avoid harsh studio lighting. The image should feel like an authentic cinematic film still photographed outdoors.
CINEMATIC VISUAL STYLE:
Sophisticated vintage crime-drama aesthetic, restrained and elegant rather than exaggerated. Muted colors, deep navy/black clothing, warm brown brick, subtle green architectural details, realistic skin tones, gentle contrast, slightly desaturated cinematic grading, delicate natural film grain, authentic photographic texture.
CAMERA & OPTICS:
Professional cinematic photography, full-body fashion portrait, approximately 50mm lens perspective, realistic depth of field, subject sharply focused while the distant brickwork gradually becomes softer, natural perspective, realistic optical rendering, subtle background separation, high dynamic range without excessive HDR.
PHOTOREALISM:
Extremely realistic human anatomy, authentic skin pores and texture, individual hair strands, natural eyes, realistic hands and fingers, accurate clothing folds, physically correct shadows, realistic brick texture, natural proportions, professional photography, cinematic still-frame quality, ultra-detailed 4K/8K appearance.
REFERENCE PRIORITY RULE:
MY PERSONAL PHOTO = identity only.
UPLOADED REFERENCE IMAGE = pose + composition + wardrobe + environment + lighting + visual style only.
Never copy the reference person's face, facial structure, hairstyle, or identity.
