Create an image using the uploaded image as the primary facial identity reference.

IDENTITY AND FACIAL PRESERVATION:
Preserve the person's exact recognizable facial identity, natural skin tone, apparent age, facial structure, eye shape and color, eyebrows, nose, lips, cheekbones, jawline, and distinctive characteristics. Maintain authentic facial proportions, realistic skin texture, and natural masculine or feminine features. Do not de-age, excessively beautify, reshape, or replace the person's face with a generic model. Adapt hairstyle, clothing, physique, and accessories naturally to the individual while maintaining maximum facial resemblance.

STYLE AND ATMOSPHERE:
Create an ultra-photorealistic cinematic dark steampunk fantasy portrait inspired by Victorian gothic fashion, mysterious traveling carnivals, vintage railway stations, and luxury fantasy editorial photography. The atmosphere should be mysterious, enchanting, sophisticated, slightly rebellious, romantic, and dramatically atmospheric. Emphasize midnight blue, charcoal black, weathered silver, dark leather, smoky teal, muted bronze, and delicate amber-gold highlights.

COMPOSITION AND CAMERA ANGLE:
Create a vertical 4:5 portrait featuring one adult subject standing confidently and facing almost directly toward the camera, with shoulders subtly angled. Frame from the upper portion of an oversized Victorian top hat to approximately the upper thighs. The subject should dominate the central composition, occupying roughly 80% of the frame width. Position the camera near upper-chest to eye level for a natural, slightly intimate perspective. Angle the subject's head subtly downward beneath the hat brim while keeping their eyes directed into the lens. Raise one hand elegantly to the hat brim, gently holding its edge between relaxed fingers. Let the other arm rest naturally alongside the body. Give the subject a composed, confident, mysterious, and subtly alluring expression with a restrained half-smile. Preserve elegant hand positioning and dimensional body posture.

WARDROBE AND ACCESSORIES:
Dress the subject in sophisticated gothic-steampunk fashion. Feature an oversized, slightly weathered black Victorian top hat with a tall cylindrical crown, gently curved brim, decorative antique silver filigree, leather hatband, and dramatic dark feather extending upward along one side. Let the brim cast a soft cinematic shadow across the forehead while leaving both eyes visible.

Style the subject in a fitted black shirt, distressed charcoal leather vest with metallic buttons, and dark waist detailing. Adapt the garment cut naturally to the person's body. Add layered antique silver necklaces featuring ornate pendants, dark gemstone accents, stacked leather bracelets, oxidized metal bangles, and statement rings. Render realistic leather grain, fine stitching, tarnished metal, gemstone reflections, delicate chain links, and distressed fabric surfaces.

Adapt the hair naturally to the uploaded individual, with rich, dimensional strands, soft movement, realistic density, and subtle backlit highlights. For longer hairstyles, allow loose waves or curls to cascade over the shoulders and chest. Retain the person's natural hair color and recognizable characteristics.

BACKGROUND AND ENVIRONMENT:
Place the subject in a mysterious, fog-filled Victorian railway setting at night. Weathered silver-gray vintage railway carriages should extend into the distance on both sides of the composition, creating a narrow atmospheric corridor behind the subject. Soft strings of tiny warm amber lights should stretch diagonally across the background, producing delicate glowing points.

Dense bluish-gray theatrical fog should rise between the railway cars and drift through the environment. Bare tree silhouettes and indistinct industrial structures should emerge faintly through the mist. The ground should be dark, slightly damp, and subtly reflective. Maintain convincing environmental perspective, layered atmospheric depth, and clear separation between the foreground subject and distant scenery.

LIGHTING AND COLOR GRADING:
Use dramatic cinematic low-key lighting with a large, diffused, cool blue-gray light source illuminating the background through thick fog. Introduce soft frontal fill lighting to reveal the subject's facial structure, eyes, lips, and realistic skin texture. Add subtle warm illumination grazing the cheekbones, nose, fingers, shoulders, and leather accessories.

Create delicate silver-blue rim lighting around the top hat, feather, hair, and shoulders. Preserve deep charcoal shadows without obscuring important facial details. Include gentle highlights on metallic jewelry and naturally luminous reflections in the eyes. Use sophisticated teal-blue and warm amber cinematic color grading, subtle atmospheric bloom, smooth tonal transitions, and controlled contrast.

CAMERA AND PHOTOGRAPHIC SETTINGS:
Simulate a professional full-frame mirrorless camera with an 85mm portrait lens at approximately f/2.8, ISO 400, and 1/160-second shutter speed. Focus precisely on the nearest eye, with exceptionally sharp facial detail and natural perspective compression. Use a medium-shallow depth of field to keep the face, hand, hat, and upper clothing detailed while distant railway cars, string lights, and forest silhouettes dissolve into soft cinematic blur. Preserve realistic optical rendering, gentle bokeh, subtle film grain, and professional editorial sharpness.

ULTRA-PHOTOREALISTIC DETAIL:
Render lifelike skin pores, fine facial hairs, natural complexion variations, realistic iris textures, individual eyelashes, detailed eyebrows, natural lip texture, and subtle specular highlights. Emphasize individually defined hair strands, realistic feather barbs, scratched metal surfaces, intricate jewelry, textured leather, authentic fabric folds, and dimensional atmospheric fog. Avoid plastic-looking skin, exaggerated eyes, distorted anatomy, malformed hands, artificial symmetry, cartoon styling, illustration, excessive sharpening, and unrealistic beauty filters.

FINAL VISUAL DIRECTION:
Produce a breathtaking, high-resolution cinematic fantasy photograph with luxury editorial quality, natural human proportions, intricate steampunk styling, strong facial resemblance, and an immersive nighttime atmosphere. Use a vertical portrait composition with full-frame height emphasis and a cinematic poster layout. Include no text, logos, watermarks, borders, or graphic overlays.
