The complete prompt
Create an ultra-realistic fine-art black-and-white cinematic portrait using my uploaded face photo as the PRIMARY IDENTITY REFERENCE. Preserve my recognizable facial identity, natural facial proportions, face shape, skin texture, eyes, nose, lips, jawline, and overall likeness. Do not redesign or beautify my face.
Recreate the provided reference image as closely as possible in composition, pose, camera angle, framing, lighting, background, clothing style, contrast, and overall photographic atmosphere.
POSE & COMPOSITION:
A young man standing centered in a vertical portrait frame, photographed from approximately chest/waist-up. His head is tilted slightly downward, chin subtly lowered, creating a mysterious, powerful and introspective expression. Shoulders relaxed and squared toward the camera. Both arms naturally positioned down at the sides and mostly outside the frame. Maintain the same body posture, head position, camera perspective, and framing as the reference.
FACE & EXPRESSION:
Use my uploaded face as the exact identity. Keep my natural facial structure and proportions. Expression should be serious, calm, mysterious and confident, with the head lowered slightly. Eyes are partially hidden behind dark oval sunglasses, matching the reference. Natural beard/facial-hair appearance if present in my identity reference. No exaggerated facial features.
HAIR:
Recreate the reference's voluminous, naturally messy, wavy dark hairstyle with individual strands and realistic texture. Hair should have slightly tousled curls/waves and subtle highlights from the surrounding light.
SUNGLASSES:
Dark, narrow oval/rounded sunglasses with a vintage cinematic appearance, positioned naturally on the face and matching the reference image's size, angle and placement.
CLOTHING:
Wear a loose, elegant light-colored open-collar shirt, similar to the reference. Soft lightweight fabric with realistic wrinkles and natural folds. Collar slightly open, revealing a small portion of the upper chest. Keep the clothing simple and sophisticated.
BACKGROUND:
Recreate the dramatic background filled with thick swirling smoke/fog, rising behind and around the subject. The smoke should form organic, flowing shapes with detailed wispy edges and layered density. Keep the subject clearly separated from the background while allowing some smoke to surround the shoulders and head.
LIGHTING:
Dramatic studio-style lighting with strong directional illumination from the front/upper side, producing deep shadows across the face and clothing. Bright highlights on the hair, shirt and smoke. High dynamic range, rich grayscale tones, deep blacks, bright whites, and smooth midtone transitions.
COLOR & STYLE:
Strictly monochrome black-and-white photography. No color whatsoever. High-contrast fine-art editorial photography, moody luxury fashion aesthetic, cinematic noir atmosphere, realistic film grain, subtle analog texture, deep blacks and luminous whites.
CAMERA:
Professional full-frame camera, portrait photography, approximately 50–85mm lens, shallow-to-moderate depth of field, realistic optical rendering, sharp focus on the subject, highly detailed hair and clothing texture, natural perspective.
FRAMING:
Vertical 3:4 portrait composition, subject centered, matching the reference's crop and proportions. Keep the head, shoulders and upper torso positioned similarly to the reference. Do not crop important facial or clothing details.
REALISM:
Photorealistic human skin, authentic pores and subtle imperfections, realistic hair strands, physically accurate smoke, natural fabric texture, realistic shadows and highlights. No plastic skin, no artificial face, no cartoon appearance.
IDENTITY PRIORITY:
My uploaded face is the highest-priority identity reference. The reference image controls the pose, composition, styling, lighting, smoke, clothing, framing and atmosphere, while my uploaded photo controls my identity. Preserve my identity consistently and naturally.
NEGATIVE PROMPT:
different person, altered identity, face redesign, face distortion, excessive beautification, plastic skin, smooth AI skin, cartoon, CGI, illustration, color image, colorful background, incorrect pose, different camera angle, smiling, exaggerated expression, distorted sunglasses, extra fingers, malformed hands, duplicate person, artificial smoke, low resolution, blurry face, oversharpening, bad anatomy, unnatural proportions, watermark, text, logo.
Best setup: upload your face photo as the identity/reference image and use the image you just sent as the visual/composition reference.
Head slightly bowed forward and downward, chin subtly lowered toward the chest, face angled downward exactly like the reference, eyes directed downward behind the sunglasses, natural neck position, relaxed shoulders. Do NOT raise the chin or make the head upright.Copy the complete prompt and use your own reference photos where requested.
