Positive prompt (main description)
Using my uploaded reference photo as the primary face reference, keep the person’s identity 100% identical to the original image: same facial features, bone structure, skin tone, gender, perceived age, hairstyle shape and overall facial proportions, with no age-regression or aging. Preserve the exact facial expression, nose, eyes, lips, jawline and any unique marks like moles, freckles, scars or skin texture, as if it were the same person captured again. Transform this into an insect mosaic portrait: the entire face and upper shoulders are constructed from hundreds of small, colorful insects arranged like a living collage, so that, when viewed from a distance, they form a clear, recognizable portrait of the same person.
Insect types, arrangement and color
Use a wide variety of tiny bugs: ladybugs, ants, crickets, spiders, ticks, flies, mosquitoes, gnats and similar small insects, in many natural colors like reds, oranges, yellows, greens, blues, browns and blacks. Insects should vary in size and orientation, some seen from above, some in slight profile, but always small enough that together they tessellate and overlap to build the facial planes, hair masses and clothing shapes. Pack insects more densely and with darker species in the shadow areas of the face (under the chin, eye sockets, jawline), and use lighter-colored insects and a bit more spacing in highlight regions (forehead, nose bridge, cheekbones, upper lips) so depth, shading and volume are created purely from insect color and density. Individual legs, wings and bodies should still be visible when zoomed in, like a hyper-detailed macro collage.
Lighting
Suggest soft but directional portrait lighting from slightly above and to one side, so insects on the lit side of the face appear overall brighter and slightly less clustered, while those on the shadow side are darker and more concentrated. Add subtle, tiny highlights on glossy wings or shells (like ladybugs and flies), giving a faint shimmer across the mosaic surface without breaking the overall portrait read.
Camera, lens and composition
Portrait framing with the subject centered, cropped from the chest or shoulders up, keeping the face large in the frame so individual insects are readable when zoomed in, yet the human likeness is clearly recognizable from a normal viewing distance. Use a neutral portrait lens equivalent around 85 mm to maintain natural proportions, as if a standard portrait photo of the person was later rebuilt as a high‑resolution insect mosaic artwork.
