Portrait (image)

Create an image using the uploaded image.

Use the uploaded person's photograph as the definitive facial identity reference. Preserve their recognizable facial structure, natural proportions, apparent age, skin tone, eye color, eyebrows, nose, lips, facial expression, hairline, hairstyle, and distinguishing features. Do not replace, beautify, reshape, artificially age, or alter their identity. Adapt the artistic styling and lighting to their natural appearance.

Create an ultra-photorealistic, intimate fine-art beauty portrait featuring an extraordinary interplay of intricate black floral lace shadows and warm, golden cinematic illumination. Capture the subject in a sophisticated, nearly frontal three-quarter pose, head gently angled toward the viewer's left, eyes looking directly into the camera with a captivating, mysterious, quietly confident expression. Preserve the subject's natural facial expression while emphasizing the emotional intensity of their gaze.

COMPOSITION AND FRAMING:
Create a tightly framed vertical 4:5 close-up portrait with the subject's head, face, and neck occupying approximately 80% of the canvas. Position the face slightly right of center, with the eyes near the upper third and the lips near the lower-middle portion. Include the forehead, eyes, nose, lips, chin, neck, and a small portion of the shoulders. Allow a subtle, natural close-up crop through the upper hairstyle if necessary to maintain the intimate framing. Keep the face dominant, with minimal negative space. Use a near-eye-level camera angle with a very subtle three-quarter perspective, elegant facial proportions, and no wide-angle distortion.

LACE SHADOW ARTISTRY:
Project an exceptionally detailed, ornate black lace pattern across the subject's forehead, one eye, cheek, jawline, neck, and shoulder. The pattern should resemble delicate vintage Chantilly lace with elaborate floral motifs, curling botanical tendrils, intricate filigree, interconnected mesh, scalloped details, and fine geometric netting. Concentrate the richest lace patterns over the viewer's right side of the face while leaving the opposite eye partially immersed in deep, dramatic shadow. The lace must appear as real optical shadows cast by light passing through physical lace positioned between the light source and the subject, not painted designs, tattoos, makeup, or fabric attached to the skin. Maintain crisp, intricate shadow edges across the focal plane, with natural softening wherever the shadows follow the curvature of the face and neck.

LIGHTING AND COLOR:
Use a powerful, concentrated tungsten-like golden light entering from the upper viewer's right, passing through the lace to illuminate selected areas of the skin. Create exceptional chiaroscuro with deep espresso-black shadows, radiant amber highlights, warm bronze midtones, and dramatic pools of darkness. Emphasize the contrast between illuminated skin and the delicate dark lace silhouette. Add subtle reflected warmth across the bridge of the nose, cheekbones, lips, and jawline. Keep the opposite side of the face beautifully underexposed but retain enough detail to reveal natural facial contours. Avoid flat illumination, excessive fill lighting, harsh digital processing, or artificial glow.

HAIR, SKIN, AND BEAUTY DETAILS:
Preserve the reference person's natural hairstyle, color, density, and texture. Render individual hair strands, flyaways, and realistic light scattering with exceptional precision. Maintain authentic skin pores, delicate peach fuzz, natural pigmentation, subtle fine lines, and realistic subsurface scattering. Capture intricate iris fibers, moist reflections in the eyes, defined eyelashes, natural brows, and gently luminous lips with realistic lip texture. Use sophisticated editorial beauty styling, subtle smoky eye definition, and understated natural lip coloration without changing the person's recognizable features.

WARDROBE AND ENVIRONMENT:
Dress the subject in an elegant black textured garment with a softly structured collar, visible only around the lower edge and shoulder area. Render authentic woven fibers, subtle satin reflections, and natural folds. Use a nearly black, muted charcoal and deep olive-gray studio background, softly blurred and completely unobtrusive. Eliminate distracting accessories, furniture, text, logos, and unnecessary environmental objects. Let the face and intricate projected lace shadows remain the undisputed focal point.

CAMERA AND PHOTOGRAPHIC SETTINGS:
Simulate professional full-frame editorial portrait photography using an 85mm prime portrait lens at approximately f/2.8, ISO 100, 1/160-second shutter speed, and precise single-point autofocus on the nearest eye. Maintain beautifully compressed facial perspective, cinematic shallow depth of field, sharply resolved eyes and facial textures, and a smoothly fading background. Use controlled studio light projection for defined lace shadow detail. Apply refined cinematic color grading, rich blacks, warm amber highlights, delicate film-like grain, high dynamic range, and extremely realistic tonal transitions. Deliver premium magazine-quality photography with extraordinary optical realism, natural anatomy, and finely resolved shadow patterns.

The final image should feel mysterious, sensual, elegant, intimate, and artistically sophisticated, combining timeless film-noir beauty photography with intricate lace-shadow artistry. No illustrations, cartoon effects, plastic skin, excessive retouching, distorted anatomy, duplicated facial features, artificial patterns, watermarks, signatures, or visible text.

Create a vertical portrait composition in 4:5 aspect ratio, emphasizing the full frame height with a cinematic poster layout.
