Image Prompt
Subject: A chest-up cinematic portrait of the person from @image1 . Preserve their exact face, facial structure, skin tone, age, hairstyle, and expression from the reference photo. They must be instantly recognizable, with accurate facial features and proportions. Do not alter their identity, gender presentation, or body proportions. They wear a plain [garment color] [garment type] in a relaxed fit, with soft fabric folds and subtle texture catching the rim light. The styling is dark, monotone, and silhouette-focused, with no logos, prints, or accessories. Action: The subject has a calm, composed posture, with their gaze toward or just past the camera. Keep the pose and expression close to the reference photo. Location/Context: A dark, empty studio filled with thick theatrical haze. Swirling smoke fills the space with visible layered depth and fine tendrils drifting around the subject. Composition: Chest-up portrait, with the subject centered or slightly off-center. Shot on a 50mm lens at f/1.8-f/2.8 with shallow depth of field. Sharp focus on the eyes, with the smoke in the background softly blurred. Lighting: A single powerful backlight (rim light) sits directly behind and slightly above the subject. It cuts through the haze to create defined volumetric light rays (god rays) and a bright, crisp edge glow along the head, hair, and shoulders. A very soft, low-intensity fill light from the front lifts the face just enough that the eyes, nose, and lips stay readable and recognizable, while the rest falls into deep shadow. High contrast, low-key exposure, with no harsh front lighting. Style: Cinematic, muted, and desaturated color grade, with cool teal-gray shadows, soft neutral highlights, and deep blacks. Fine film grain, natural skin texture, and a mysterious, dramatic, moody atmosphere. Avoid: Overexposed or brightly lit face, plastic or over-smoothed skin, changed facial features, extra people, text, watermark, logos, colorful lighting, cartoon or illustrated look.
