Sample Prompt

Use my uploaded face image as the primary identity reference. Preserve my exact facial structure, jawline, cheekbones, nose shape, lips, eye shape, eyebrow structure, beard/stubble pattern, hairstyle, hair texture, skin texture, {argument name="ethnicity" default="natural South Asian masculine features"}, and overall recognizable appearance with extremely high identity fidelity. Do not feminize the face. Maintain realistic male proportions, authentic skin details, and natural facial anatomy. Create an ultra-realistic cinematic portrait that exactly recreates the composition, mood, lighting, framing, and atmosphere of the reference image. The subject is shown in a perfect side-profile view facing right, standing very close to a narrow doorway or window frame. One hand is gently touching the edge of the frame with naturally relaxed fingers. The expression is calm, introspective, and emotionally reflective. The scene is illuminated by a single {argument name="lighting color" default="warm amber-orange"} light source entering through the narrow opening, producing dramatic low-key lighting. The light softly wraps around the profile of the face, highlighting the forehead, nose bridge, lips, jawline, beard texture, and fingertips while leaving most of the body in deep shadow. The background is almost completely black, creating strong negative space and a minimalist cinematic atmosphere. Subtle atmospheric haze and volumetric light rays are visible around the face, glowing softly in the warm orange light. Fine strands of hair catch the backlight, creating delicate rim lighting around the head. The subject wears a dark sleeveless or fitted black top that blends naturally into the shadows. Across the shoulder and upper arm, faint striped light patterns appear from the narrow light source, exactly matching the reference mood. Skin texture, beard detail, and facial contours remain highly realistic and sharply rendered. Composition: vertical portrait (4:5 ratio), subject positioned slightly right of center, close-up from chest to head, exact side profile, shallow depth of field, cinematic framing, dramatic negative space on the left side of the image. Lighting: warm tungsten glow, amber-orange color palette, high contrast, deep blacks, soft volumetric fog, cinematic rim lighting, moody editorial photography. Camera: {argument name="camera" default="Sony A7R V"}, 85mm f/1.4 lens, f/1.4 aperture, shallow depth of field, ultra-sharp facial details, professional color grading, HDR, photorealistic skin rendering. Style: luxury cinematic portrait, film still, emotional storytelling, dark atmospheric mood, ultra-realistic photography, masterpiece quality, 8K resolution, hyper-detailed, natural realism, no text, no watermark, no extra people, no distortion, no facial alteration, exact identity preservation.
