The complete prompt

Exact Prompt

Create an ultra-realistic, high-resolution cinematic portrait based exactly on the uploaded reference image. Preserve the same male subject’s facial identity, facial features, facial proportions, hairstyle, curly hair texture, skin tone, facial structure, body proportions, pose, expression, clothing, and overall appearance.

The young man is posing in front of a deep black nighttime background, facing directly toward the camera with a subtle, confident smile. His left hand is raised beside his face, with his fingers naturally resting near his cheek. His other arm is positioned casually downward/outward.

He has thick, dense, naturally curly black hair with clearly defined curls and a rounded voluminous shape. Preserve the exact hairstyle and hair texture from the reference. His face has a clean, youthful appearance with natural skin texture, defined eyebrows, dark eyes, a straight nose, naturally shaped lips, and subtle facial definition.

He is wearing a loose-fitting blue-and-white patterned button-down shirt, featuring an intricate traditional geometric/abstract print. The shirt is partially unbuttoned near the upper chest, with natural fabric folds and realistic cotton texture. Keep the exact pattern, colors, collar style, and fit from the reference.

STRICT REFERENCE & IDENTITY LOCK

Do not change the subject's identity or facial structure. Preserve the exact face shape, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, jawline, cheeks, hairstyle, curly hair pattern, skin tone, age, body proportions, pose, hand position, expression, clothing, and composition from the uploaded reference.

Do not add sunglasses, jewelry, extra accessories, or different clothing. Do not replace the black background or remove the car. Do not turn the subject into a generic model.

The final image should look like a professionally photographed, ultra-realistic version of the exact same person and exact same pose from the uploaded reference image, with cinematic nighttime lighting and natural photographic detail.
