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

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, hairstyle, hair color, and distinctive features. Maintain authentic pores, fine lines, realistic anatomy, and natural facial textures. Do not de-age, excessively beautify, reshape, or replace their face. Adapt the fashion, body proportions, styling, and pose naturally to the person's gender and appearance. Retain existing tattoos or piercings accurately without inventing permanent features.

STYLE AND ATMOSPHERE:
Create an extraordinarily detailed, ultra-photorealistic black-and-white fine-art fashion portrait inspired by high-end editorial photography, intimate studio portraiture, vintage glamour, and contemporary alternative fashion. The mood is seductive, confident, rebellious, intimate, mysterious, and effortlessly stylish. Use sophisticated monochrome tonality, rich charcoal blacks, luminous silver-gray highlights, subtle film grain, and beautifully controlled contrast.

COMPOSITION AND POSING:
Create a vertical 4:5 portrait featuring the subject seated sideways on a weathered dark wooden chair against a seamless near-black studio background. Frame from the top of the voluminous hair to the feet and lower chair, preserving the full seated silhouette. One knee is raised prominently toward the chest, with one forearm draped casually over the raised knee and fingers relaxed. The other leg bends naturally across the chair, with a bare foot extending gracefully downward. The torso turns three-quarters toward the camera while the head faces forward. Capture direct, magnetic eye contact, gently parted lips, a composed expression, and relaxed shoulders. Use a slightly elevated, intimate camera perspective, natural perspective compression, and an elegant asymmetric composition. Preserve believable anatomy, hands, joints, fingers, and toes.

HAIR, WARDROBE, AND ACCESSORIES:
Style the subject with abundant, long, tousled, naturally flowing hair where appropriate to their original appearance, adding realistic individual strands, flyaways, dimensional waves, and textured highlights. Dress them in an oversized, dark, chunky cable-knit cardigan falling loosely around the shoulders, exposing the upper shoulder and neckline naturally, paired with distressed denim shorts. Adapt the outfit tastefully to the person. Incorporate optional layered metallic chain necklaces, delicate earrings, and existing piercings. Render intricate knitted fibers, worn denim edges, stitching, metallic reflections, and natural skin-to-fabric contact with extreme realism.

LIGHTING AND SHADOWS:
Use a large, feathered studio softbox positioned camera-left and slightly above eye level, creating gentle sculptural illumination across the face, collarbones, arms, knees, and legs. Add very subtle reflected fill from camera-right to retain shadow detail. Preserve dramatic shadow falloff, delicate catchlights in the eyes, softly illuminated hair strands, realistic dimensional contours, and smooth tonal transitions. Keep the backdrop almost entirely black, with just enough separation to distinguish hair, clothing, and chair edges. Avoid harsh frontal flash, excessive retouching, artificial skin smoothing, or overexposed highlights.

CAMERA AND PHOTOGRAPHIC SETTINGS:
Simulate professional medium-format portrait photography with an 85mm-equivalent portrait lens, approximately f/5.6, ISO 100, a 1/160-second shutter speed, and controlled studio lighting. Use tack-sharp facial focus, especially on the eyes and eyelashes, realistic skin microtexture, beautifully resolved hair and fabric, gently softened background details, and natural optical depth. Keep the face, raised knee, and essential clothing textures clear. Apply premium monochrome fine-art grading with rich black levels, silvery midtones, restrained highlights, subtle analog grain, and exceptional dynamic range. Treat these settings as a creative approximation of the reference photograph.

QUALITY AND FINAL PRESENTATION:
Create 8K-style ultra-photorealistic detail, authentic photographic texture, a professional editorial finish, believable proportions, realistic hands and feet, cinematic tonal depth, and museum-quality black-and-white portrait styling. Do not include text, a watermark, logos, frames, illustrations, plastic-looking skin, distorted limbs, or artificial glamour filters. Use a vertical portrait composition with full-frame height emphasis and a cinematic poster layout.
