50/50 face split

Use the ONE uploaded reference image strictly as the identity source.

The uploaded image contains two people.

The person on the LEFT side of the uploaded image = Person 1.
The person on the RIGHT side of the uploaded image = Person 2.

Create ONE highly realistic, front-facing, extreme close-up portrait based on the composition and photographic style described below.

THE FACE MUST BE A TRUE 50/50 VERTICAL SPLIT.

The final image contains ONE HEAD, ONE FACE, and ONE continuous facial structure.

The LEFT EXACT 50% of the face belongs ONLY to Person 1.
The RIGHT EXACT 50% of the face belongs ONLY to Person 2.

Do not create two separate faces.
Do not place two people beside each other.
Do not show two heads.
Do not merge their identities into a third face.
Do not average their facial features.

Imagine the final portrait as a single face that has been cut into two equal vertical halves. Replace the entire left half with Person 1's identity and the entire right half with Person 2's identity.

CRITICAL FACIAL ALIGNMENT:

Both identities must occupy the exact same facial position and exact same head geometry.

Align the two faces feature-by-feature before creating the split:

- both eyes at exactly the same height
- both pupils at corresponding positions
- both eyebrows aligned
- both inner eye corners meeting at the same central level
- both nose bridges occupying the same central axis
- the nose must continue as ONE nose across the center
- both nostrils must align at the same height
- the upper lip must connect perfectly across the center
- the lower lip must continue naturally across the center
- the chin must occupy the same position
- both jawlines must follow the same overall head placement
- forehead and hairline must meet at the same vertical center
- neck must continue directly beneath the center of the face

The vertical division must run precisely:

CENTER OF FOREHEAD
↓
CENTER BETWEEN THE EYES
↓
CENTER OF NOSE BRIDGE
↓
CENTER OF NOSE
↓
CENTER OF LIPS
↓
CENTER OF CHIN
↓
CENTER OF NECK

The center is NOT a soft facial morph.

It is a precise identity division: Person 1 on the left, Person 2 on the right.

At the exact center line, the corresponding facial structures should meet naturally, but each side must remain clearly identifiable as its original person.

Preserve each person's recognizable identity, including their actual eye shape, eyebrow shape, nose structure, lips, cheek structure, jawline, skin texture, age, and distinctive facial characteristics.

Do not redesign, beautify, reshape, slim, age, de-age, or generate replacement facial features.

Keep the SAME straight-on head position, SAME camera distance, SAME facial scale, SAME eye level, and SAME expression for both identities so the two halves fit into one exact facial geometry.

The face should fill most of the frame, matching a close-up portrait composition.

Use a simple dark neutral studio background with very subtle natural bokeh.

AUTHENTIC BLACK-AND-WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY:

Render the entire image in natural monochrome black-and-white photography with soft grayscale tones, realistic skin texture, natural shadows, gentle contrast, subtle film grain, and slightly softened photographic detail.

The result should resemble a genuine professionally captured close-up camera portrait.

No digital illustration.
No 3D appearance.
No beauty-filter skin.
No plastic skin.
No artificial symmetry.
No exaggerated sharpness.
No distorted eyes.
No duplicated facial features.
No generic AI face.

MOST IMPORTANT FINAL RULE:

The output must NOT look like two people standing together.

It must look like ONE CLOSE-UP PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAIT containing ONE HEAD and ONE FACE, where the LEFT HALF is Person 1 and the RIGHT HALF is Person 2, with their facial landmarks precisely aligned so the nose, eyes, lips, chin, and jaw continue across the center as one anatomical face.

Person 1 = LEFT 50% of the final face.
Person 2 = RIGHT 50% of the final face.
Both identities come from the SAME uploaded photograph.
ONE UPLOADED PHOTO.
ONE HEAD.
ONE FACE.
EXACT CENTER ALIGNMENT.
TRUE 50/50 IDENTITY SPLIT.
