Prompt
1. CORE TASK & FACE REFERENCE
Mandatory Face Match: You must look at the attached reference image and use the exact face of the person pictured.
Identity Preservation: This is the absolute highest priority. Do not generate a random or generic face. Maintain 100% face preservation with zero modifications, structural changes, or beauty filters applied to the person from the attached image.
Preserve Exactly: Hairstyle, hairline, hair texture, eyebrow density, eye shape, nose structure, lip shape, jawline, beard/stubble pattern, and natural skin tone of the attached person.
2. POSE & EXPRESSION
Framing: Upper body portrait, from the chest to the top of the head.
Angle: Strict 90-degree side profile. The subject is facing completely to the LEFT; only the left side of the face is visible.
Head Tilt: Head is tilted upward with the chin raised high toward the sky. The throat and neck are fully extended and exposed. The face is directed upward at a 45-degree angle.
Expression: Deeply contemplative, spiritual, and searching. A quiet intensity showing longing or looking toward something beyond; poetic, cinematic, and heavy with emotion. Eyes can be closed or gazing straight up.
3. SUBJECT DETAILS (HAIR, BEARD, OUTFIT)
Hair: Short hair with clean sides and slight natural texture on top. Individual wispy hair strands must be visible at the edges, catching the backlight.
Beard/Stubble: Light, short, natural stubble covering the mustache and chin area. Individual stubble hairs along the edge must glow brightly against the dark background.
Outfit: A structured, near-black jacket or coat with a slightly raised collar. The crisp edge of a white shirt collar is barely peeking out at the neck. The dark fabric absorbs almost all light, with only its outer edges catching the rim light.
4. LIGHTING & BACKGROUND (CRITICAL)
Primary Light Source: A single, intense rim/backlight positioned directly behind the subject (slightly to the right of their back).
Lighting Effect: Creates a razor-sharp, brilliant white rim light outlining the entire profile silhouette. The hair edges, forehead, nose profile, lips, chin, stubble, extended neck, and shoulder must be sharply defined by this bright white outline.
Shadows: The front of the face is in deep, dramatic shadow—almost completely dark. Use extremely minimal front fill light, just barely enough to reveal the facial structure in the dark.
Background: Pure, absolute pitch-black. A complete void with zero detail or light leak.
5. STYLE & TECHNICAL SPECS
Color Profile: Strict monochrome (high-contrast black and white). Pure blacks, brilliant whites on the lit edges, and deep grey mid-tones on the shadowed face. No middle exposure.
Texture & Quality: Photorealistic fine art photography. Heavy analog film grain visible in the dark areas. Ultra-sharp detail on the rim-lit hair strands, stubble, and fabric textures.
Render Quality: Cinematic 4K quality, flawless anatomy, zero AI artifacts, no watermarks, no text.
