Silent Focus – Cinematic Hoodie Portrait

IDENTITY REFERENCE — ABSOLUTE HIGHEST PRIORITY:

Use the uploaded photograph as the ONLY identity source. Preserve the uploaded person’s exact recognizable identity and natural facial structure: apparent age, natural skin tone, forehead, hairline, eyebrow shape and spacing, eye shape and spacing, eye colour, nose bridge, nose length and tip, cheeks, cheekbones, lips, ears, jaw width, jaw angle, chin, facial hair pattern and every natural facial proportion.

The finished person must remain immediately recognizable as the uploaded individual. Do not blend the identity with another model, generate a generic replacement face, beautify the person excessively, change the face shape, alter the skin tone, enlarge the eyes, sharpen the jaw, change the nose, modify the lips or create an artificial AI-looking face.

TARGET IMAGE — RECREATE EVERY VISUAL DETAIL:

Create an ultra-realistic, cinematic vertical portrait of the uploaded person, matching the reference image’s exact composition, framing, pose, wardrobe, hairstyle, headphones, expression, lighting, depth of field, foreground blur, background and colour grading.

CANVAS AND COMPOSITION:

• Vertical 9:16 portrait.
• Show the person from approximately the lower chest upward.
• Position the subject slightly right of the vertical centre.
• Keep the head in the upper-middle part of the frame.
• The face must be the main sharp focal point.
• The person stands perfectly straight and faces the camera directly.
• Both shoulders remain visible, with the body continuing naturally toward the bottom edge.
• Maintain the same amount of dark negative space above the head and around the body as the reference.
• Do not zoom in too closely and do not crop the hair, hood, chin or shoulders.

POSE AND EXPRESSION:

The person faces directly toward the camera with the head held straight and level. Eyes look naturally and intensely into the camera. Use a calm, quiet, slightly serious and emotionally distant expression. Keep the eyebrows relaxed, lips naturally closed and facial muscles neutral. No smile, no teeth, no raised eyebrows, no aggressive expression and no dramatic head tilt.

HAIRSTYLE:

Give the person medium-length, naturally messy dark-black hair matching the reference. The hair is thick, slightly tousled and imperfect, with soft individual strands falling naturally over the forehead. Add a subtle damp texture and realistic loose strands without making the hair wet, glossy, overly styled or artificial. Preserve the uploaded person’s natural hairline and head shape.

CLOTHING:

Dress the person in a plain, soft, heather-grey hooded sweatshirt. The hood is raised and rests naturally around both sides of the head and neck. The hoodie is open at the front, revealing a light-grey, finely ribbed crew-neck T-shirt underneath. Use realistic cotton fabric, delicate folds and natural stitching. The clothes must be completely plain with no logo, text, zipper decoration, drawstring emphasis, graphic print or bright colour.

HEADPHONES:

Place large matte-black over-ear headphones naturally over both ears. The right earcup must be clearly visible between the hair and the raised hood, exactly like the reference. The left earcup remains more subtly hidden by the foreground blur and hood. The headphones should fit realistically around the head; keep the headband mostly concealed by the hair and hood. No wires, glowing lights, logos or metallic decorations.

FOREGROUND BLUR AND GLASS EFFECT:

Recreate the exact cinematic obstructed-view effect. The portrait should appear to be photographed through a crowd, reflective glass or translucent foreground objects.

• Cover much of the left side with a large, extremely out-of-focus, pale bluish-grey and milky-white foreground shape.
• Let this soft translucent blur sweep diagonally from the upper-left area toward the centre, partially passing in front of the subject’s left hair, left eye area, cheek, shoulder and torso.
• Keep the person’s main facial features sufficiently visible and recognizable through the haze.
• Add a large warm brown, skin-toned blurry human-like silhouette in the lower-left foreground.
• Add another narrow, heavily blurred warm-brown silhouette close to the far-right edge.
• Keep every foreground figure completely unrecognizable, with no visible face or sharp body details.
• Add subtle ghosting, reflections and soft motion-smear inside these foreground shapes.
• The blur must feel naturally created by objects extremely close to the camera—not like artificial smoke, fog, clouds or a digital overlay.

BACKGROUND:

Use an extremely dark charcoal-black indoor background with minimal detail. Add only a few very soft, heavily defocused warm-grey and brown shapes in the distance, suggesting an indistinct crowd or interior environment. Keep the background darker around the top and corners. Do not include visible walls, furniture, windows, buildings, scenery, decorations or recognizable people.

LIGHTING:

Use very soft, diffused, low-key cinematic lighting. A gentle cool daylight source comes from the front-left and softly illuminates the forehead, eyes, nose bridge, cheeks, lips and chin. Keep a delicate highlight along the centre of the face while maintaining natural shadows on the right cheek, beneath the jaw and around the hood. The skin must remain naturally textured with visible pores and subtle tonal variation. No harsh flash, beauty lighting, glowing skin, heavy rim light, coloured neon light or overexposure.

CAMERA AND FOCUS:

Photorealistic full-frame camera portrait, approximately 85mm lens, f/1.4 aperture, extremely shallow depth of field. Keep the subject’s eyes, central facial features and lips sharply focused. Allow the ears, hoodie and body to become progressively softer. Make all foreground and background objects strongly blurred with creamy cinematic bokeh. The focus must feel optical and realistic, not digitally cut out.

COLOUR GRADING:

Use a dark, muted, desaturated cinematic colour palette dominated by charcoal black, soft grey, pale blue-grey and subtle warm brown. Maintain slightly cool skin highlights with gentle warm undertones. Use controlled contrast, softly crushed blacks, delicate film grain and smooth highlight roll-off. The result should feel moody, intimate, mysterious and editorial.

IMAGE QUALITY:

Ultra-photorealistic, natural human anatomy, accurate facial proportions, authentic skin texture, realistic fabric texture, physically correct headphones, professional editorial photography, subtle analog-film character, clean details on the face, 8K-quality appearance and no visible AI artefacts.

STRICT NEGATIVE INSTRUCTIONS:

Do not change the uploaded person’s identity. Do not create another person’s face. No face blending, generic model, duplicate subject, extra sharp people, visible foreground faces, smiling, open mouth, teeth, side profile, head tilt, exaggerated expression, beauty retouching, waxy skin, plastic skin, excessive skin smoothing, face distortion, asymmetrical eyes, incorrect pupils, enlarged eyes, altered nose, changed jawline, deformed ears, unnatural hair, wig-like hair, extra headphones, earbuds, headphone wires, logos, jewellery, hat, cap, bright colours, patterned clothing, text, watermark, border, smoke, artificial fog, rain, neon lighting, harsh shadows, oversaturation, HDR effect, cartoon, illustration, painting, anime, 3D render or obvious AI-generated appearance.

FINAL PRIORITY ORDER:

1. Preserve the uploaded person’s exact recognizable identity.
2. Match the reference composition and camera framing.
3. Match the raised grey hoodie, grey ribbed T-shirt and black over-ear headphones.
4. Match the direct gaze and calm serious expression.
5. Match the pale translucent foreground obstruction and heavily blurred crowd silhouettes.
6. Match the dark background, shallow focus, muted colours and soft cinematic lighting.
