The complete prompt
Create a highly photorealistic, premium cinematic 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 as a visual reference for composition, pose, camera angle, framing, wardrobe styling, lighting, color grading, atmosphere, and overall photographic aesthetic. DO NOT copy the reference person's face, facial features, identity, hairstyle, or appearance.
IDENTITY — ABSOLUTE PRIORITY:
Preserve my identity from my personal photo with maximum possible accuracy. Keep my exact facial structure, face shape, proportions, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, jawline, cheekbones, skin tone, natural facial characteristics, hairline, and recognizable features. I must look unmistakably like myself—not like the person in the reference image. Do not beautify, reshape, masculinize, feminize, or replace my facial features.
POSE & COMPOSITION:
Create a sophisticated close-to-medium portrait with the subject positioned prominently in the frame. One hand is naturally raised toward the chin/cheek in a relaxed, thoughtful pose, with the elbow and forearm naturally positioned. Slightly angled head and shoulders toward the camera, direct yet calm eye contact, subtle confident expression. Maintain the intimate editorial composition and visual balance of the reference.
WARDROBE:
Dress me in a rich deep burgundy/wine-red textured button-up shirt, slightly relaxed and naturally open around the upper chest, with realistic fabric texture and natural folds. Add subtle masculine accessories such as a simple chain necklace and understated bracelets, while keeping everything elegant and believable.
HAIR & GROOMING:
Keep my actual hairstyle and natural hair characteristics from my personal photo. Style it naturally with subtle volume and texture. Realistic skin texture, natural pores, fine facial hair where present, realistic eyebrows and eyelashes. Avoid excessive retouching or artificial smoothness.
LIGHTING:
Recreate the reference's dramatic warm amber/orange cinematic lighting. Use a soft warm key light illuminating the face from the front/side, gentle highlights across the skin, and deep controlled shadows around the background. Add subtle warm practical lights and blurred golden highlights in the environment. Maintain realistic cinematic falloff and dimensionality.
BACKGROUND & ATMOSPHERE:
Create a dark, luxurious, intimate interior with a warm brown/black environment, subtle out-of-focus decorative elements and amber practical lights. Strong shallow depth of field, beautiful natural bokeh, atmospheric separation between subject and background.
CAMERA & PHOTOGRAPHY:
Professional high-end fashion/editorial photography, approximately 85mm portrait lens, natural perspective, shallow depth of field, sharp focus on the eyes and face, realistic lens compression, subtle cinematic film grain, rich tonal range, detailed skin, realistic highlights and shadows.
COLOR GRADING:
Deep burgundy, warm amber, burnt orange, dark brown and subtle golden tones. Cinematic contrast with rich blacks and warm skin tones. Premium movie-still aesthetic, sophisticated and dramatic without looking artificial.
REALISM:
Ultra-photorealistic human skin and anatomy, realistic hands and fingers, physically accurate lighting, authentic fabric texture, natural imperfections, realistic hair strands, realistic jewelry reflections, professional photography quality.
IMPORTANT NEGATIVE INSTRUCTIONS:
Do not copy the reference person's identity. Do not alter my facial structure. No face swapping with the reference model. No generic AI face. No plastic skin, waxy skin, excessive beauty filter, over-smoothing, artificial facial symmetry, distorted hands, extra fingers, malformed jewelry, unnatural eyes, cartoon appearance, CGI look, excessive sharpening, fake HDR, or unrealistic skin.
FINAL RESULT:
A sophisticated, intense, warm-toned cinematic editorial portrait of ME, capturing the same visual mood and photographic language as the reference while keeping my own identity completely dominant and recognizable. High-end magazine photography, cinematic movie still, natural realism, premium production quality, 4K/8K detail, vertical 4:5 composition.
