STYLE
Dramatic black-and-white cinematic portrait, high-contrast photography look, moody atmosphere, raw and expressive, realistic wet skin and hair, fine film grain, deep blacks and bright highlights, modern arthouse movie still style.
SUBJECT / IDENTITY LOCK
Use the uploaded photo as the primary and exclusive reference for the person’s identity. Keep the subject 100% identical to the reference photo: same facial features, bone structure, skin tone (converted to grayscale but same values), gender presentation, hairstyle shape, hair color translated into correct grayscale value, hair length, hair volume and direction, and overall facial proportions. Do not change the gender, do not make the face younger or older, do not beautify or stylize the anatomy. Preserve the exact nose, eyes, eyelids, eyebrows, lips, jawline, cheekbones, ears, and any unique marks such as moles, freckles, scars, and skin texture.
CONTEXT
Create a dramatic black-and-white headshot of the same person from the uploaded photo, captured as if in a cinematic rain scene. The mood should feel intense, emotional, and introspective, like a movie poster or a pivotal frame from a dark, atmospheric film.
ACTION
The subject or subjects are facing the camera (or matching the pose from the reference photo) with a serious, emotional, or thoughtful expression, not smiling. The face and hair appear wet, as if just caught in the rain, with irregular water droplets and streaks running naturally across the cheeks, forehead, nose, and jawline, following gravity. Hair looks damp, slightly clumped, with a few strands falling naturally across the face, but never hiding or deforming the key facial features from the reference.
COMPOSITION
Close-up headshot or tight head-and-shoulders framing, keeping the same crop logic as the uploaded photo when possible. The subject is centered or slightly off-center, eyes near the upper third of the frame, with a dark, minimal background that does not distract from the face. The composition emphasizes the illuminated planes of the face and the rain droplets, with strong separation between subject and background. No cropping of the top of the head or chin unless the original reference is framed that way.
LENS / CAMERA
Portrait-style camera look, equivalent to an 85mm–105mm lens, natural proportions, no wide-angle distortion, no fisheye. Shallow depth of field with the face in ultra-sharp focus and the dark background softly blurred, like a professional full-frame camera portrait. High-resolution rendering (8K look), crisp micro-contrast on skin texture and water droplets.
LIGHTING
Use high-contrast, dramatic lighting that carves out the face with deep shadows and bright highlights, classic low-key cinematic lighting. Light the subject as if under a focused, directional source in the rain: strong key light from one side, soft fill from the opposite side, and possible subtle back or rim light to bring out wet hair edges and droplets. Preserve realistic shading on the same facial structure as in the photo, avoiding flat lighting. The overall tonality should have rich blacks, controlled midtones, and bright highlights that define water and skin without clipping.
POSITIVE PROMPT (ONE BLOCK)
Create a dramatic black-and-white headshot of the same person from the uploaded photo, with a moody, cinematic atmosphere. Use the uploaded photo as the primary and exclusive reference for the person’s identity, keeping the subject 100% identical to the reference: same facial features, bone structure, skin tone values, gender presentation, hairstyle shape, hair length, hair volume and direction, hair color translated correctly into grayscale, and overall facial proportions. Do not change the gender and do not make the face younger or older. Use high-contrast lighting that carves out the face with deep shadows and bright highlights, classic low-key cinematic portrait style. Make the subject appear wet, as if just caught in the rain, with irregular water droplets and streaks across the cheeks, forehead, nose, and jawline, following gravity. Hair should look damp and slightly clumped, with a few strands falling naturally across the face without hiding or deforming the eyes, nose or mouth from the reference. Keep the background dark, simple and minimal so the illuminated facial features and droplets stand out strongly. The overall look should feel intense, emotional, raw and expressive, like a high-end cinematic black-and-white portrait with real rain texture and dramatic tonal depth, ultra-detailed, 8K resolution feel, subtle film grain, sharp focus on the eyes.
NEGATIVE PROMPT
low quality, blurry, out of focus, soft focus, low resolution, pixelated, heavy noise, face distortion, identity change, different person, changed gender, de-aged or aged face, beautified face, reshaped nose, different eyes, different lips, altered jawline, wrong facial proportions, mismatched ethnicity, wrong skin tone values, different hairstyle, different hair length, different hair color mapping, hair covering the whole face, cartoon, anime, illustration, comic style, painting, 3D render, CGI, plastic skin, waxy skin, over-smoothed skin, fake HDR, extreme glow, overexposed highlights, flat lighting, no shadows, washed-out contrast, unrealistic water, uniform raindrops, floating droplets, rain only in background, water only on clothes but not on face, water patterns that ignore gravity, droplets covering or deforming facial features, fisheye distortion, wide-angle warping, Dutch angle, tilted camera, messy busy background, bright background, visible environment, cityscape, text, subtitles, logos, watermark, QR code, UI elements, borders, frames, glitches, compression artifacts.
