Burning feelings

Create an ultra-realistic cinematic fine-art black-and-white portrait using my uploaded face photo as the PRIMARY IDENTITY REFERENCE and the provided reference image as the STRICT VISUAL REFERENCE. Recreate the reference image as closely as possible in pose, camera angle, composition, framing, lighting, shadows, clothing, mood, background, and facial expression.
IDENTITY — HIGHEST PRIORITY:
Replace the subject's face with my exact face from the uploaded identity photo. Preserve my recognizable facial identity, natural face shape, facial proportions, forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips, jawline, cheek structure, beard/facial-hair pattern if present, skin texture, and overall likeness. Do not beautify, redesign, masculinize, feminize, slim, widen, or otherwise alter my facial identity.
POSE & COMPOSITION — MATCH THE REFERENCE:
Recreate the exact portrait pose: a man seated/standing close to the camera with his head noticeably tilted and bowed downward, chin lowered toward the chest, face angled downward, eyes looking downward with a serious introspective expression. Keep the head position natural and relaxed. Shoulders slightly relaxed and body leaning subtly forward.
Both hands are positioned prominently in front of the torso, holding a small lighter near the mouth. One hand operates the lighter while the other hand is naturally positioned around/supporting it. Reproduce the hand placement, finger positioning, wrist angles, and overall gesture from the reference as closely as possible.
A lit cigarette is held between the lips, positioned naturally at the same angle as the reference. A small realistic flame from the lighter illuminates the lower face and hands. Subtle smoke rises naturally around the cigarette and face.
EXPRESSION:
Serious, intense, quiet, introspective, slightly tired expression. Eyebrows naturally lowered, eyelids partially lowered, gaze directed downward. Relaxed lips around the cigarette. No smile, no exaggerated emotion, no eye contact with the camera.
CLOTHING:
Black leather biker jacket with realistic leather texture, visible stitching, seams, metallic snaps and zipper details. Underneath, a simple light-colored crew-neck T-shirt. Keep the clothing arrangement and proportions consistent with the reference.
LIGHTING:
Extremely dramatic low-key black-and-white cinematic lighting. The lighter flame is the primary practical light source, creating a soft but concentrated glow across the fingers, hands, lower face, lips, nose and beard area. Keep most of the jacket, shoulders, hair and surrounding environment deeply shadowed.
Strong chiaroscuro lighting with deep blacks, controlled highlights, smooth tonal transitions, subtle rim illumination and realistic shadow falloff. The flame should create believable warm-light-to-monochrome tonal contrast while the final image remains pure cinematic monochrome.
BACKGROUND:
Almost completely black, seamless, dark and minimal. No visible room details, furniture, objects, scenery, patterns, text, or distractions. The subject should emerge naturally from the darkness.
CAMERA & FRAMING:
Vertical portrait composition, approximately 9:16 aspect ratio. Medium close-up framing from around the chest upward, matching the reference composition. Camera positioned slightly below/around face level while maintaining the same perspective as the reference. Natural photographic proportions, realistic depth of field, face and hands sharply detailed while the background falls into darkness.
PHOTOGRAPHIC STYLE:
Ultra-realistic professional editorial photography, cinematic noir aesthetic, fine-art black-and-white photography, authentic skin pores and texture, realistic beard and hair detail, physically accurate hands and fingers, natural facial anatomy, subtle film grain, rich blacks, luminous highlights, high dynamic range, dramatic contrast, premium professional camera look.
IMPORTANT: The final image should look like an authentic photograph of me recreating the exact reference pose, not an AI-generated character. Preserve my identity above everything else while matching the reference's visual composition and mood.
NEGATIVE PROMPT:
cartoon, illustration, CGI, 3D render, plastic skin, beauty filter, face redesign, altered identity, different person, smiling, looking at camera, raised chin, upright head, bright background, colorful image, excessive smoke, distorted hands, extra fingers, missing fingers, malformed fingers, duplicate hands, distorted lighter, oversized cigarette, unrealistic flame, unnatural anatomy, excessive sharpening, blurry face, low detail, text, watermark, logo.
