Create an ultra-photorealistic, premium cinematic studio portrait of me, using my uploaded face reference image as the strict identity reference. The final image should resemble a high-end men's fashion editorial with dramatic studio lighting, a minimalist outfit, and a powerful dark aesthetic. STRICT FACE MATCH — 100% REFERENCE IMAGE IDENTITY PRESERVATION: Use my exact face from the uploaded reference image. Preserve my original facial identity, face shape, forehead, eyebrows, eyes, eye spacing, nose, lips, cheeks, jawline, chin, ears, skin tone, and all distinctive facial characteristics with the highest possible accuracy. Do not generate a new face, replace my face with another person's face, or create an approximate resemblance. Do not alter my facial structure, artificially beautify my appearance, or apply excessive skin smoothing. Maintain my recognizable identity, natural facial proportions, and realistic skin texture. Adapt the lighting, head angle, and pose without changing my underlying facial features. Facial identity preservation is the highest priority. SUBJECT AND APPEARANCE: A stylish young man in his mid-20s with naturally thick black hair, wearing small rectangular black sunglasses. His hairstyle should look modern, slightly textured, and naturally styled, with realistic individual strands. His expression is composed, confident, and serious, creating a sophisticated fashion-editorial mood. Preserve the facial characteristics visible in the uploaded reference image. OUTFIT AND ACCESSORIES: Dress the subject in a plain, oversized, light-beige crewneck sweatshirt with long sleeves. The sweatshirt should feature realistic cotton fabric, subtle stitching, natural folds, and a relaxed premium fit. Pair it with dark, well-fitted trousers. Add a sophisticated silver wristwatch on the left wrist and a simple black band on the right wrist. Keep the styling minimalist, contemporary, and understated. Maintain realistic fabric behavior and natural proportions. POSE AND BODY POSITION: Capture the subject in a standing three-quarter body portrait, with his body turned slightly away from the camera and his head rotated toward the left in a clean side-profile view. Both hands should rest naturally inside the trouser pockets, with relaxed shoulders and a confident, effortless posture. Keep the head angle, neck position, shoulder alignment, and body proportions anatomically accurate. The pose should feel natural and editorial rather than stiff or exaggerated. CAMERA ANGLE AND COMPOSITION: Use a slightly low camera angle to create a subtle, confident presence. Frame the subject vertically, capturing the head, torso, arms, and upper legs while maintaining balanced proportions. Position the subject centrally or slightly off-center against the dark background. Keep the silhouette clearly separated from the background using carefully controlled backlighting. Use a vertical 3:4 aspect ratio, with sufficient space above the head and around the shoulders. LIGHTING SETUP: Create a dramatic studio lighting arrangement using a bright rectangular softbox positioned behind the subject. The softbox should produce a strong white backlight and a clean, luminous rim around the subject's hair, shoulders, arms, and sweatshirt. The light should define the silhouette while keeping the front of the subject relatively dark. Use subtle fill lighting to preserve natural facial contours, realistic skin texture, and visible clothing details without losing the dramatic low-key atmosphere. Ensure the sunglasses have realistic reflections and the beige sweatshirt retains its natural color despite the strong backlight. BACKGROUND AND ATMOSPHERE: Use a completely black, seamless studio background with no visible furniture, decorations, or distracting elements. Create a strong contrast between the dark surroundings, the light-beige sweatshirt, and the bright white rim lighting. Keep the atmosphere moody, minimal, sophisticated, and cinematic. Avoid excessive haze, artificial glow, or visible lighting equipment. PHOTOGRAPHIC REALISM: Simulate professional full-frame DSLR photography using an 85mm portrait lens. Use realistic perspective, shallow depth of field, precise focus, detailed skin pores, natural hair strands, realistic sweatshirt texture, and accurate material reflections. Maintain correct anatomy, realistic hands inside the pockets, natural wrist proportions, and believable clothing folds. Apply subtle professional retouching while preserving the subject's authentic facial identity and natural skin texture. COLOR GRADING: Use a refined monochromatic palette featuring deep blacks, neutral greys, soft beige, and crisp white highlights. Maintain rich shadows, controlled highlights, balanced contrast, and realistic skin tones. Avoid excessive sharpening, oversaturation, or artificial color effects. OUTPUT SPECIFICATIONS: Ultra-photorealistic, 8K-quality detail, premium men's fashion editorial, cinematic dark studio portrait, strict reference-face identity preservation, realistic skin texture, black rectangular sunglasses, oversized beige sweatshirt, dramatic white rim lighting, deep black background, shallow depth of field, vertical 3:4 aspect ratio. STRICT NEGATIVE CONSTRAINTS: No face replacement, no identity changes, no different person, no altered facial structure, no artificial beautification, no plastic skin, no excessive skin smoothing, no distorted sunglasses, no malformed hands, no extra fingers, no unnatural body proportions, no floating limbs, no incorrect wristwatch placement, no distorted clothing, no grey background, no visible softbox, no excessive lens flare, no cartoon effects, no illustration, no text, no logos, and no watermarks. FINAL OBJECTIVE: Create a striking, ultra-realistic cinematic studio portrait of me wearing an oversized beige sweatshirt, dark trousers, rectangular black sunglasses, and minimal accessories. Preserve my original facial identity as accurately as possible while recreating the dramatic white backlight, strong silhouette, completely black background, and sophisticated men's fashion editorial aesthetic. The final result should look like a genuine professional studio photograph of me rather than an AI-generated imitation.
