Create a high-fashion horror cinematic photograph in the style of a professional studio portrait. Use soft, diffused directional lighting from the front left. Shoot from a high angle with an 85 mm lens at f/2.8, as if captured in RAW on a Sony A7R V.

Scene: Depict a handsome young man crouching on the black asphalt of an empty urban street, surrounded by tall tree trunks on both sides. He wears theatrical Joker makeup. In the distance behind him, include a traditional Indonesian female ghost, a kuntilanak, suggesting his mother.

Subject 1: Use the person in the provided reference photo: ${reference-photo}. Give him a lean, muscular, athletic physique, with broad shoulders, rounded deltoids, thick biceps and triceps, massive legs, and firm, rounded glutes.

Pose: He crouches on the asphalt, shown from a three-quarter view of his left side (the viewer’s right). Both knees are bent, both arms are wrapped around his legs, and his hands are clasped. Turn his face toward the camera.

Outfit: A black hoodie and faded, distressed black denim with torn holes at both knees and frayed threads showing. He is barefoot.

Makeup and expression: Give him theatrical Joker makeup: cracked, cakey white porcelain makeup with deep cracks on the forehead and around the mouth; thin, arched, messy black eyebrows drawn high; smeared black eyeshadow around the eyes; a dirty nose with slight shading; and oversized, smeared, jagged red lipstick extending beyond the lips to the cheeks, with a cracked texture. His expression is a creepy clown’s Glasgow smile.

Critical hair detail: His white hair is wild and disheveled, sticking up like a broom, with a frizzy, straw-like texture.

Background subject 2: Create an AI-generated traditional Indonesian female ghost standing in the distance behind the man, on the right side of the frame. She is a beautiful woman around 25 years old, with long, messy dark hair, pale, wrinkled skin, dark circles around her eyes, and an average build. She wears a rustic, off-white, long dress with subtle thorn details and subtle yellow stains.

Ghost’s pose and expression: She stands beneath a tall tree trunk with both arms at her sides and her head tilted downward. Give her white eyes with black pupils rolled upward and a frightening expression.

Setting: A dark asphalt urban street surrounded by tall tree trunks.

Lighting: Use two lighting treatments. Illuminate the main subject with soft, natural, diffused professional light, bright enough to show his Joker makeup details, hair, and torso. Keep the background, including the ghost, in dark cinematic horror lighting with a cold, desaturated blue-green color grade and atmospheric mist.

Composition and framing: Place the main subject in the center of the frame, prominently visible from head to toe and grounded on the dark asphalt. Place the kuntilanak behind him on the right side of the frame. Leave no negative space at the top of the frame.

Render as an ultra-photorealistic 8K image in a 9:16 aspect ratio, with crisp detail and the professional-camera look of an 85 mm f/2.8 lens.

Negative prompt: drawing, fantasy, illustration, painting, painterly style, extra limbs, phantom hands, blur.
