Create a photorealistic cinematic portrait in a vertical 9:16 aspect ratio, using ${reference-image} as the reference. Depict the exact young man from the reference image and preserve his facial identity and features faithfully, especially his eye shape, nose, and jawline. Show a single head.
Pose and expression: He stands at a three-quarter angle to his right in a Freddy Krueger-inspired pose, with his face turned toward the camera and a cool, confident smirk. Raise his right hand beside his face, palm open, in a model pose. His other hand rests by his side.
Makeup: Give him artistic Freddy Krueger-inspired makeup. On the left side of his face (viewer’s right), create textured burnt-caramel contour makeup with a wavy crackle effect, blended red and dark-green striped eyeshadow, glossy cheekbone highlights, and smoky eyeliner. Create a seamless, organic, wavy transition between the natural skin and makeup—not a straight dividing line. Keep his exact facial features recognizable. On the other side of his face, retain his exact appearance and add cinematic contouring, Freddy-inspired artistic burn makeup with a cracked, high-fashion editorial texture, and metallic eyeshadow.
Accessories and clothing: He wears a tilted-back brown fedora and a dirty, worn, knitted sweater with red and dark-green stripes, in a Freddy Krueger-inspired style. On his raised right hand, add a luxury fashion accessory resembling a bladed glove: a dark-brown leather glove with five chrome or steel scissor blades, one on each finger, plus studded metallic details. The blade on his pointing finger touches his cheek. Make one steel blade catch the light with a shiny white flare.
Composition and background: Frame him vertically from the waist up to the top of his head, with no empty space above him. Use a dark night setting with a pitch-black sky, an empty street, blurred urban lights and subtle fog. Keep the background smooth, dark, and unobtrusive, with the subject naturally separated from it.
Lighting and image quality: Light the face brightly and softly from the front side so the makeup is clearly visible. Use professional, diffused studio lighting on the subject to define the torso and outfit in three dimensions, with soft shadows under the chin and across the clothing. Keep the contrast between light and shadow soft. Add a second, dark-night lighting layer for the background and a bright glint on the steel blade. Keep the face and eyes in sharp focus, with extreme sharpness throughout the torso, outfit, hat, and blade. Render realistic skin texture, including pores, muscle shadows, and smooth gradients. Aim for hyper-detailed realism influenced by 1990s men’s fashion photography and Helmut Newton’s fashion photography. The mood is confident, subtly sensual, timeless, elegant, and natural. High-resolution 8K look.
Negative prompt: extra limbs, phantom hand, blur, incorrect hand pose, painterly appearance, waxy skin, CGI, drawing.
