Gustavo Aldama — STRICT FACE IDENTITY LOCK: Preserve the exact facial identity from the uploaded face reference image. The visible portions of the face beneath the smoke must retain the exact reference features, jawline, nose, and lips. Do not reconstruct the face.

Create a conceptual 1968 studio art photograph of a young man in profile standing against a muted slate-blue studio backdrop. He wears a dark navy 1960s long overcoat with a raised collar and stands calmly with his hands in his pockets, unbothered by the eruption above him.

A massive cloud of vivid marigold-yellow powder smoke erupts from where his head and thoughts would be, flowing upward and backward like an explosion of ideas. The smoke dominates the upper two-thirds of the frame and partially covers the upper head, while the jaw, lips, and neck remain visible beneath it. The visible face must be clearly lit, with approximately 70% of its structure readable. Creamy-white highlights glow within the smoke, and traces of yellow powder dust the coat’s shoulders.

COMPOSITION: Side-profile medium shot, framed from the hips upward, with generous headroom for the smoke.

LIGHTING: Strong, even studio lighting with a powerful highlight shining through the yellow smoke and making it glow. Keep the backdrop muted and calm in contrast with the energetic smoke. Use soft navy shadows on the coat.

1960s ANALOG AESTHETIC: Vibrant Ektachrome film emulation, visible grain within the smoke gradients, slight color bleeding typical of period film, and the character of a low-resolution archival scan. Use photorealistic powder-smoke physics and believable fabric dusting, like authentic late-1960s studio art photography. No digital paint effects, no glowing CGI smoke, and no fantasy elements: the smoke must look like real powder captured with photographic lighting.

CAMERA: Medium-format studio camera, 100mm lens.

COLOR GRADING: Vivid marigold-yellow smoke against a muted slate-blue background.
