## Identity and facial preservation
Use the uploaded photograph as the primary facial identity reference for the adult subject. Preserve their recognizable facial features, natural skin tone, apparent age, face shape, bone 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 characteristics. Do not de-age, excessively beautify, reshape, or replace the subject with a generic model. Adapt hairstyle, clothing, physique, and styling naturally while maintaining strong facial resemblance.

## Style and atmosphere
Create an ultra-photorealistic cinematic black-and-white nighttime street photography portrait featuring a joyful, carefree adult dancing barefoot in torrential rain on a glowing urban street. Take inspiration from dramatic fine-art photography, high-contrast monochrome fashion editorials, spontaneous street photography, and atmospheric Hollywood rain sequences. The mood is liberating, rebellious, playful, sensual, spontaneous, and emotionally uplifting. Use rich jet blacks, luminous silvery whites, sparkling wet highlights, and layered charcoal-gray midtones. Use no color, sepia, or artificial tinting.

## Composition and pose
Create a vertical 4:5 full-body environmental portrait with the subject prominently centered, occupying most of the frame while remaining completely visible from head to bare feet. Capture a dynamic mid-dance moment with the body leaning slightly backward, torso gently twisted, shoulders relaxed, and head playfully tilted, with an authentic joyful smile. One arm extends outward holding a delicate stemmed wineglass containing a small amount of liquid, while the opposite arm stretches naturally to the side for balance. One bare foot is firmly planted in a shallow puddle, creating an explosive crown of water droplets, while the other leg bends and crosses playfully in front of the supporting leg, its bare foot lifted. Hair swings dramatically outward with the movement. Maintain believable anatomy, accurate hands, natural fingers, realistic balance, and convincing movement.

## Hairstyle and appearance
Give the subject long, exceptionally voluminous, wet, tousled hair with dramatic flowing strands, textured waves or loose curls, and natural movement. Adapt hair length, texture, and styling appropriately to the uploaded individual's identity while creating the same energetic, windblown silhouette. Individual wet strands catch brilliant rim lighting, forming luminous silver outlines against the dark background. Preserve the subject's authentic facial identity beneath the styling.

## Wardrobe
Style the subject in a rebellious contemporary urban fashion ensemble featuring an open, dark, rain-soaked leather jacket, a fitted wet casual top, and distressed denim jeans with authentic frayed tears, stitching, fabric folds, worn seams, and naturally rolled cuffs. Adapt the fit and silhouette to the subject's gender, body proportions, and personal appearance. Clothing should cling and fold naturally from the rain without appearing artificially painted onto the body. Preserve realistic wet leather sheen, saturated cotton textures, denim grain, metallic hardware, and individual water droplets. Bare feet are essential. Preserve visible tattoos from the uploaded photograph when present; do not invent prominent tattoos.

## Environment and background
Place the subject in the middle of a rain-drenched city street at night. A spectacular glowing streetlamp positioned high behind and slightly left of the subject creates a powerful atmospheric backlight. Additional distant streetlights, blurred vehicle headlights, cars, silhouettes of pedestrians, and one umbrella-carrying figure establish cinematic urban depth. Rain falls heavily in countless visible vertical streaks. The soaked asphalt becomes a shimmering mirror reflecting bright streetlights and approaching headlights. Include realistic puddles, ripples, splashes, water reflections, and suspended droplets around the subject. Keep the background atmospheric and slightly defocused without losing its believable street details.

## Lighting and contrast
Use dramatic high-contrast chiaroscuro lighting with strong rear illumination from the overhead streetlight, creating brilliant rim highlights around wet hair, shoulders, jacket edges, arms, and flying raindrops. Add subtle frontal ambient fill lighting to reveal the face, expressive eyes, smile, tattoos when present, and clothing details. Preserve deep cinematic shadows, smooth tonal transitions, brilliant specular reflections, realistic wet-surface highlights, and controlled luminous bloom around streetlights. The face must remain recognizable and naturally illuminated without flattening the dramatic lighting.

## Camera and photographic settings
Use an eye-level to slightly low camera position, near-frontal three-quarter perspective, full-body framing, and a natural moderate wide-angle perspective without distortion. Simulate professional full-frame photography using a 35mm lens, approximately f/2.8, 1/500-second shutter speed, ISO 3200, with high-resolution monochrome processing. Freeze the subject and water splashes sharply while preserving realistic rain streaks and subtle environmental motion. Keep the eyes and face critically sharp, with moderate depth of field, soft background bokeh, natural lens falloff, and authentic photographic grain.

## Ultra-realistic detail
Render extremely detailed skin pores, natural facial texture, individual eyelashes, eyebrows, wet hair strands, realistic reflections in the eyes, authentic smiles, damp clothing fibers, leather grain, denim distressing, water droplets, splash physics, pavement textures, and complex nighttime reflections. Maintain realistic human proportions and anatomically correct hands and feet. Avoid plastic skin, excessive smoothing, exaggerated body proportions, artificial glamour retouching, distorted limbs, extra fingers, duplicate objects, cartoon effects, CGI appearance, and oversharpening.

Use a vertical 4:5 aspect ratio, with full-frame height emphasis and a cinematic poster layout.
