film_portrait (image)
Create an ultra-photorealistic, candid cinematic 35mm film portrait inspired by the reference image. Preserve the client’s exact identity, facial features, natural skin tone, and authentic appearance.

STRICT HAIR LENGTH LOCK: Reproduce the client’s hairstyle exactly as shown in the identity reference. The hair must end at precisely its original length, with absolutely no added centimeters, extensions, extra strands, artificial volume, or lengthening behind the shoulders. Preserve the exact hairline, texture, density, parting, silhouette, and existing fringe. Do not restyle or alter the hair.

POSE & ACTION: Capture a spontaneous moment as the client sits sideways on a metal bench inside a modern underground station, leaning forward slightly with their elbows resting loosely on their knees. Their torso faces away from the camera while they turn their head sharply toward the lens, creating an intimate, candid glance. One hand casually brushes against the side of their cheek, with a few natural strands falling across their forehead and partially covering one eye. Their expression is relaxed, mysterious, and serious, with naturally parted lips. Their black outfit blends into the shadowy foreground. The pose should feel like a fleeting moment captured between movements, never like a conventional studio portrait.

CAMERA & COMPOSITION: Shoot from a close, oblique angle slightly above shoulder level, framing the face and upper body diagonally. Use a handheld camera feel, imperfect framing, shallow depth of field, and a softly blurred station background. The face and eyes remain naturally defined, while the moving background lights stretch into horizontal streaks.

MOTION BLUR & FILM LOOK: Create authentic directional motion blur in the passing background, with subtle blur along the moving shoulder and loose hair tips. Keep facial features recognizable and naturally focused. Use cool teal-blue fluorescent lighting, elongated white light reflections, fine visible 35mm film grain, gentle halation, slightly imperfect focus, and soft analog-film contrast.

ANTI-AI REALISM: Preserve natural pores, tiny skin imperfections, facial asymmetry, realistic individual hair strands, and believable lighting. Avoid plastic skin, excessive sharpening, artificial beauty filters, perfectly arranged hair, digital smearing, and CGI textures. The final image should look like a genuine spontaneous film photograph taken in a moving underground station, atmospheric, imperfect, and completely free of an obvious AI-generated appearance.
