INPUT IMAGE (MANDATORY)
Use the uploaded photo as the only facial identity reference.
Preserve 100% of the subject’s facial structure, proportions, skin tone, eye shape, nose, lips, and expression.
Do not beautify, stylize, or alter the facial anatomy.
Strict identity preservation is mandatory (IP-Adapter–level fidelity).
CORE CONCEPT
Recreate the subject as a hyper-realistic sculptural portrait, where the face appears wrapped, intertwined, and partially concealed by flowing strips of photographic film.
The film strips must spiral, fold, and wrap naturally around the face, creating a strong sense of memory, time, cinema, and personal history.
FILM STRIP STRUCTURE
Use cinema/photographic film strips with visible frames and perforated edges
Each frame contains tiny photographs or scenes (portraits, moments, landscapes, memories)
Film strips:
Wrap around the head, eyes, nose, and mouth
Partially reveal and partially conceal the face
Follow facial contours realistically
The face underneath remains solid, sculptural, and realistic
FACE READABILITY RULE
Despite being wrapped in film:
The face must remain clearly recognizable
Facial proportions must exactly match the input photo
Eyes remain expressive and realistic, visible through openings
Nose and lips are clearly defined beneath the film
The interaction between film and skin must look physically real
COLOR & MATERIAL PALETTE
Muted cinematic tones:
Charcoal gray
Soft blacks
Warm browns
Subtle amber highlights from film frames
Film frames contain varied but slightly desaturated imagery
Avoid neon or overly saturated colors
BACKGROUND
Minimal, neutral background (light gray or dark gray)
No environment or scenery
The sculpture appears floating or mounted against a clean backdrop
LIGHTING
Soft studio lighting
Directional light emphasizing depth and curvature of film strips
Subtle shadows between film layers and face
No harsh highlights or dramatic flares
CAMERA & COMPOSITION
Frontal or very slight three-quarter view
Centered composition
Head-only portrait
Balanced, symmetrical visual weight
DETAIL & QUALITY
Ultra-high resolution
Extreme micro-detail in:
Film grain
Perforations
Reflections on film surface
Skin texture
Clean, photorealistic rendering
Sculptural depth and realism
STRICT NEGATIVE PROMPT
Do NOT change facial identity
Do NOT cartoonize or illustrate
Do NOT paint or draw
Do NOT flatten film into textures
Do NOT distort anatomy
Do NOT add text, logos, or watermarks
Do NOT add extra people
FINAL INSTRUCTION
The final image must look as if the person from the uploaded photo has been transformed into a sculptural portrait wrapped in flowing strips of cinematic film, matching the depth, realism, composition, and conceptual style of the reference image, while remaining unmistakably the same person.
