Gothic_Masquerade_Portrait (image)

Replace the ${…} placeholders with your values before using this prompt. See parameters and defaults below.

Create an ultra-photorealistic, cinematic gothic portrait with the aesthetic of professional DSLR photography.

REFERENCE PHOTO — FACE IDENTITY ONLY
Use the supplied reference photo as the only source for the woman’s facial identity. Preserve her recognizable facial structure and proportions, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, jawline, cheekbones, natural skin tone, freckles, and overall identity with absolute accuracy. Facial identity is the highest priority. Do not beautify, reshape, age, replace, reinterpret, or otherwise alter her facial features. Hair, hairstyle, clothing, makeup, jewelry, and accessories may change completely to fit this prompt, while preserving her facial identity accurately.

SUBJECT
A ${age}-year-old woman with a curvy-medium feminine build and natural proportions. Do not make her flat, overly thin, muscular, or masculine in physique. Give her natural feminine hands and fair skin, not tan or dark tan. Her long, semi-wavy hair has realistic caramel and blonde undertones and highlights. Add detailed, realistic tattoos with soft, natural coloring across portions of her arms and upper chest.

HAIR, MAKEUP, AND WARDROBE
Style her hair in an elegant, intricately arranged high Victorian bun with natural volume and texture. Let several loose tendrils fall naturally around her face without obscuring her identity.

Dress her in an elaborate black and dark red Victorian masquerade ball gown made of luxurious silk, chiffon, and lace. Include intricate gothic details, elegant Victorian-inspired structure, layered lace, delicate fabric textures, and subtle dramatic volume. Give her a sophisticated black, white, and dark red masquerade mask adorned with dramatic black feathers, and dark red lipstick. Keep the gothic masquerade styling elegant, realistic, and photographic.

COLOR TREATMENT
Render the entire image in cinematic black and white, with dark red as the only color. Dark red may appear only in the dark red portions of the dress, her lipstick, and the dark red portions of the mask. Everything else, including the subject, must remain monochromatic black, white, and grayscale. No other colors anywhere in the image.

SCENE
Surround her with a luxurious, mysterious Victorian gothic masquerade ball. Show an elegant gothic ballroom in the background, heavily out of focus with cinematic bokeh. Include blurred chandeliers, candlelight, ornate Victorian architecture, indistinct masked guests, dark drapery, and atmospheric ballroom details to create depth without distracting from the woman. Keep the background soft, blurred, atmospheric, and secondary to the portrait.

COMPOSITION AND PHOTOGRAPHIC DETAIL
Frame a close-up portrait from approximately the lower chest upward. Use an elegant centered or slightly off-center composition and natural posture. Keep her face as the primary focal point. Use shallow depth of field with realistic optical falloff, professional DSLR photography aesthetics, and cinematic low-key lighting with controlled highlights and deep gothic shadows.

Include highly realistic skin texture and natural pores, individual hair strands, realistic lace and silk textures, physically accurate fabric folds, detailed feathers, and authentic photographic depth. Do not use illustration, painting, CGI, anime, cartoon styling, artificial plastic skin, excessive smoothing, or a beauty filter. Avoid distorted anatomy and any alteration of facial identity.

WATERMARK
Add a very subtle, light, transparent cinematic watermark. Keep it at very low opacity, naturally blended into the shadows, but crisp and readable when examined closely or viewed while zoomed in. Reproduce and spell exactly: “${watermark:AmySue_46 ♡}”. Do not misspell, distort, blur, replace, modify, or reinterpret the watermark, lettering, underscore, numbers, or heart symbol.

SIGNATURE
Place “${signature:AmySue}” in the bottom-right corner as a medium-sized, bold handwritten signature. Do not use black ink. Use subtle light-toned or softly luminous ink that contrasts naturally against the dark background while remaining elegant and unobtrusive.

COPYRIGHT
Directly beneath the signature, add this text, clearly readable but subtle: “${copyright:© AmySue 2026 (@amysue46). All Rights Reserved. Created at 11:25am on 10-21-2026}”. Maintain the exact spelling, punctuation, capitalization, symbols, username, date, and time.

FINAL QUALITY
The finished image must be an ultra-photorealistic, high-resolution professional portrait with natural facial detail, realistic skin and hair, realistic fabric and lace, realistic feather detail, authentic cinematic bokeh, a sophisticated Victorian gothic atmosphere, and dramatic masquerade elegance. It must look like an authentic professionally photographed gothic masquerade portrait, not digital artwork. Use black-and-white photography with dark red as the sole selective color.
