## Identity and facial preservation
Use the uploaded person's photograph as the primary facial identity reference. Preserve their exact recognizable facial identity, natural skin tone, apparent age, facial proportions, eye shape and color, eyebrows, nose, lips, cheekbones, jawline, hairline, hairstyle, and distinctive characteristics. Maintain authentic masculine or feminine features, realistic skin pores, subtle facial imperfections, natural expression lines, and individual personality. Do not de-age, excessively beautify, reshape, or replace the person's face. Adapt clothing, hairstyle, and accessories naturally to the individual while preserving maximum facial resemblance.

## Style and atmosphere
Create an ultra-photorealistic, sophisticated cinematic beauty portrait inspired by luxury eyewear advertising, contemporary fashion editorials, fine-art monochrome photography, and selective-color portraiture. The atmosphere is intimate, mysterious, elegant, confident, captivating, and contemporary. Feature a dramatic predominantly black-and-white palette with rich charcoal shadows, luminous silver-gray skin tones, and striking selective golden-yellow accents. The brilliant amber-orange eyeglasses and vibrant golden-yellow shirt are the primary color elements. Preserve the subject's natural iris colors with extraordinary clarity.

## Composition and camera angle
Create a vertical 4:5 tightly framed beauty portrait featuring one adult subject facing directly toward the camera. Position the face centrally with both eyes aligned horizontally near the upper third of the composition. The camera is approximately at eye level, capturing a straight-on frontal portrait with a subtle three-quarter shoulder orientation. The face dominates the frame, with the forehead, eyebrows, eyeglasses, nose, lips, chin, upper chest, and part of the shoulders visible.

The subject gazes directly into the lens with an intensely captivating yet relaxed expression. Lips are gently parted. One hand rests gracefully against the cheek near the outer edge of the eyeglasses, with naturally positioned fingers. Long or short hair follows the uploaded person's authentic hairstyle, framing the face naturally. Maintain a tightly cropped, editorial composition while keeping the complete eyeglass frames and main facial features visible.

## Eyeglasses and clothing
Add distinctive oversized, fashionable, glossy amber-orange eyeglasses with softly rounded rectangular frames, gently upswept outer corners, polished translucent acetate, and realistic reflective highlights. The frames must fit naturally against the person's facial anatomy. Include subtle lens reflections and refraction without obscuring the eyes. Both eyes must remain clearly visible through the lenses.

Dress the subject in a vibrant golden-yellow casual crewneck T-shirt with authentic cotton texture, realistic stitching, soft folds, natural fabric tension, and subtle highlights. The saturated yellow shirt creates a bold visual connection with the eyeglass frames against the otherwise monochromatic portrait.

## Lighting and color grading
Use sophisticated low-key studio beauty lighting with a large diffused softbox positioned slightly above and in front of the subject, creating smooth dimensional illumination across the forehead, eyes, nose, cheekbones, and lips. Introduce subtle directional side lighting to enhance facial contours and dimensionality.

Create rich charcoal shadows around the hair, jawline, and outer edges of the composition. Preserve smooth shadow transitions, delicate silvery highlights, realistic catchlights in both eyes, and soft reflections on the glossy eyeglass frames. Apply selective-color grading that renders the skin, hair, and background primarily in refined grayscale while retaining the vivid orange-yellow eyeglasses and golden-yellow clothing. Avoid excessive contrast, blown highlights, artificial skin smoothing, and flat lighting.

## Camera and photographic settings
Simulate a professional full-frame mirrorless camera with an 85mm premium portrait lens, f/2.8 aperture, ISO 100, 1/160-second shutter speed, precise eye-detection autofocus, and high-resolution RAW photography. Maintain a natural compressed portrait perspective with no wide-angle distortion.

Both eyes, eyelashes, eyeglass frames, eyebrows, nose, and lips must appear exceptionally sharp. Use a shallow yet controlled depth of field with gradual focus falloff toward the hair, shoulders, and background. Preserve realistic optical characteristics, natural microcontrast, delicate lens reflections, and extraordinary facial detail.

## Skin, hair, eyes, and texture
Render ultra-photorealistic skin with visible pores, fine facial hairs, subtle natural blemishes, authentic lip texture, and smooth but realistic tonal transitions. Capture individually defined eyelashes, detailed iris fibers, wet reflections along the waterline, and crisp catchlights. Render realistic individual hair strands, natural flyaways, and subtle highlights. Show highly detailed eyeglass acetate, polished frame edges, transparent lenses, and authentic cotton fabric weave.

## Background and finishing
Use a deep charcoal-black studio background with a subtle gradient, disappearing naturally into the subject's darker hair and shadowed shoulders. Keep the background completely uncluttered, without objects, patterns, text, logos, borders, or distracting elements.

Apply premium editorial color grading, precise retouching that preserves natural skin texture, subtle cinematic contrast, refined tonal separation, and realistic high-resolution detail. The finished portrait must resemble an expensive professional eyewear campaign, not an illustration, cartoon, painting, or synthetic digital character.

## Final composition
Maintain the subject's recognizable facial identity as the highest priority. Preserve the dramatic direct eye contact, central facial framing, elegant hand-to-cheek pose, vibrant amber-orange eyeglasses, saturated golden-yellow shirt, grayscale skin treatment, sophisticated studio lighting, and luxurious cinematic atmosphere. Adapt all features naturally to the uploaded individual. Deliver a polished, breathtaking, ultra-photorealistic editorial portrait with balanced framing and extraordinary optical detail. Use a vertical portrait composition with full-frame height emphasis and a cinematic poster layout.
