Use the provided reference image as the single source of truth. Create a photorealistic, cinematic portrait in 9:16 that EXACTLY matches the reference: identical subject identity, pose, facial expression, head angle, eye direction, camera angle, focal length look, framing/crop, background, and overall composition. Do not change hairstyle, facial hair, skin tone, clothing, or any facial proportions. No stylization.
LIGHTING UPGRADE (GOLDEN HOUR + DRAMATIC WALL SHADOW)
Keep the scene and background exactly the same, but relight it like a premium cinematic photoshoot:
- Warm golden-hour sunlight coming from camera-left, directional and realistic.
- Create a clear, strong, well-defined shadow of the subject’s face on the plain wall behind (same wall), slightly elongated and soft-edged, consistent with a low sun angle.
- High-contrast but natural exposure: glowing highlights on the lit side of the face, deep velvety shadows on the far side, with controlled roll-off (no blown highlights).
- Subtle bounce fill (very minimal) so the shadows still retain texture, not crushed black.
- Add gentle rim separation where appropriate, but keep it believable, not “glowy.”
IMAGE QUALITY / RESTORATION (4K REALISM)
Upgrade clarity to true 4K-level detail while preserving natural skin:
- Sharpen facial details realistically (pores, beard texture, hair strands, eyelashes) without oversharpening.
- Remove noise and compression artifacts while keeping natural texture (no plastic skin, no smoothing).
- Increase dynamic range and micro-contrast for depth, but keep skin tones accurate and lifelike.
- Maintain a professional cinematic color grade: warm highlights, slightly cooler shadows, natural saturation.
FINAL CINEMATIC FINISH
- Subtle film grain (fine, photographic, not heavy).
- Natural depth and contrast, premium lens realism, no fake HDR halos.
- Keep everything photoreal and true-to-life.
HARD CONSTRAINTS
- No changes to the subject’s identity or expression.
- No changes to clothing, background elements, or framing.
- No added objects, text, logos, or watermarks.
- No cartoon/anime/CGI look.
NEGATIVE PROMPT
stylized, illustration, cartoon, anime, CGI, plastic skin, beauty filter, face warp, changed expression, changed pose, altered background, extra objects, text, watermark, overexposed highlights, harsh fake glow, HDR halos, oversaturated, blurry, low-res
