Format: Text
Inputs: Reference_image (image) · Required
Outputs: Portrait (image)

POSITIVE PROMPT:
Face lock: keep the exact same face as the reference image: thick, curly, tousled black hair pushed up by one hand, strong dark eyebrows, deep dark brown eyes with a direct, heavy gaze, full black beard, and medium-brown skin. Low-key studio portrait of a young man leaning forward with one hand buried in his hair and his other forearm resting in front of him, partly blurred in the foreground, looking straight into the camera with a quiet, intense expression. He wears a black waffle-knit crewneck sweater. Plain near-black charcoal backdrop. Moody, soft directional light from the front left, deep shadows, rich warm skin tones against black, sharp hair and knit texture, 3:4 vertical, 85mm lens, dramatic editorial portrait photography.

NEGATIVE PROMPT:
different face, altered beard, changed hairstyle, bad anatomy, deformed hand, extra fingers, sharp foreground hand, wrong sweater color, bright background, flat lighting, plastic skin, over-smoothing, blur on face, low resolution, watermark, text, cartoon
