Create an image using the uploaded image as the reference.

IDENTITY AND FACIAL PRESERVATION:
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, cheekbones, jawline, hairline, facial hair if present, and distinctive characteristics. Do not replace, idealize, reshape, excessively beautify, or artificially age the face. Maintain authentic facial anatomy and realistic skin texture. Adapt the hairstyle, sunglasses, wardrobe, and lighting while preserving the person's recognizable identity.

STYLE AND ATMOSPHERE:
Create an ultra-photorealistic cinematic editorial portrait featuring a mysterious, confident individual surrounded by dramatic orange and teal atmospheric smoke. Combine contemporary urban fashion photography, moody cinematic poster aesthetics, and professional studio portraiture. The atmosphere is powerful, introspective, rebellious, sophisticated, and enigmatic.

COMPOSITION AND POSE:
Create a vertical 4:5 medium-close portrait, framed from approximately the lower chest or waist upward. Position the subject slightly right of center, occupying approximately 75–85% of the frame height. Angle the subject's torso approximately 60 degrees toward the viewer's left, with the head also turned 60 degrees left, creating a strong three-quarter-to-near-profile perspective. Tilt the chin upward 5–10 degrees, conveying quiet confidence and determination. Direct the gaze toward the left, slightly above the horizon, looking beyond the camera.

Keep the entire head, hairstyle, and hair silhouette fully visible, with comfortable negative space above the crown. The shoulders and upper body extend toward the lower edges. Position the face in the upper-middle portion, emphasizing the jawline, sunglasses, and dramatic side lighting.

HAIR, SUNGLASSES, AND ACCESSORIES:
Preserve the subject's natural hair color and recognizable hairline while styling the hair into a textured, slightly tousled or windswept appearance appropriate to its natural length. Render individual strands, realistic hair density, and subtle illuminated edges. Dress the subject in thin-framed, round sunglasses with dark smoked lenses, delicate metallic rims, realistic glass reflections, and naturally positioned temples. Keep the sunglasses proportionate to the subject's face. Preserve visible natural accessories or piercings where appropriate.

WARDROBE AND TEXTURES:
Dress the subject in a dark charcoal, slate-gray, or weathered black oversized hooded jacket with a raised, generously folded collar and layered hood around the neck. Feature realistic heavyweight fabric, subtle distressed textures, visible stitching, natural creases, zipper details, overlapping panels, and soft worn surfaces. The jacket should appear substantial, rugged, and contemporary. Preserve detailed fabric texture within both illuminated and shadowed areas.

LIGHTING AND COLOR GRADING:
Recreate dramatic two-tone cinematic lighting. Position a powerful warm amber-orange light source off-camera to the viewer's left, casting golden highlights across the subject's forehead, nose, cheek, lips, chin, and front jacket folds. Introduce a contrasting cool cyan-teal light from the viewer's right and slightly behind, illuminating the hair edges, ear, shoulders, jacket, and surrounding smoke.

Maintain a striking warm-versus-cool color separation, with rich burnt orange and copper on the left transitioning into deep petroleum blue, turquoise, and cyan on the right. Preserve dark, dimensional shadows, luminous rim lighting, restrained highlights, and realistic skin tones. Avoid flat illumination, overexposure, and excessive saturation.

ATMOSPHERIC SMOKE AND BACKGROUND:
Create a dark, seamless studio environment completely enveloped in atmospheric mist and smoke. Concentrate thick, voluminous, swirling smoke behind the subject, especially around the head, upper shoulders, and background. Backlight this dense smoke with orange illumination on the left and teal-blue illumination on the right, producing textured, layered clouds with realistic diffusion.

Keep the smoke in front of the subject significantly thinner, more transparent, and delicately dispersed, with only subtle wisps drifting around the lower jacket and chest. Maintain excellent visibility of the face, sunglasses, hair, and clothing. Do not allow dense foreground smoke to obscure facial features. Create natural depth through overlapping smoke layers, subtle turbulence, and smooth atmospheric gradients.

CAMERA AND PHOTOGRAPHIC SETTINGS:
Simulate professional full-frame portrait photography using an 85mm prime lens at approximately f/2.0–f/2.8, ISO 100–200, and a 1/200-second shutter speed. Shoot from approximately eye level, slightly below the elevated chin, creating a subtle heroic perspective without facial distortion. Maintain natural telephoto compression, crisp facial details, and sharp sunglasses and hair texture. Use moderately shallow depth of field, with the subject in precise focus while atmospheric smoke gradually softens into the background.

PHOTOREALISM AND FINISHING:
Render ultra-high-resolution photographic detail, realistic skin pores, fine facial texture, individual hair strands, authentic sunglass reflections, dimensional jacket fabric, physically believable smoke, and natural light scattering. Apply premium cinematic color grading, sophisticated shadow transitions, subtle film grain, deep contrast, and exceptional tonal depth. Avoid plastic skin, exaggerated beauty retouching, artificial facial symmetry, cartoon aesthetics, illustration, distorted anatomy, distracting objects, text, logos, watermarks, and excessive digital effects.

Create a striking, ultra-photorealistic cinematic portrait that faithfully preserves the uploaded person's recognizable identity while reproducing the dramatic 60-degree left-facing pose, slightly elevated chin, thin round sunglasses, rugged hooded jacket, dense backlit smoke behind the subject, delicate transparent mist in the foreground, and distinctive orange-and-teal illumination. Use a vertical portrait composition with full-frame height emphasis and a cinematic poster layout.
