STRICT FACE IDENTITY LOCK: Preserve the exact facial identity from the uploaded face reference image. Maintain the original facial anatomy, eyes, nose, lips, jawline, and unique facial characteristics. Do not beautify, reconstruct, or modify the face.

Create an ultra-photorealistic surreal cinematic neo-noir portrait of a mysterious young man standing chest-deep in a perfectly still, dark indoor pool. Use a medium close-up composition, framed from the waterline upward. Position the camera extremely close to the water surface. The subject faces the camera with his head slightly turned sideways; his wet hair and shoulders emerge from the darkness. He wears a dark midnight-navy shirt, partially submerged underwater. Keep the surrounding architecture almost completely invisible.

LIGHTING: Use a strong noir-style shadow pattern and low facial exposure. Keep most of the face obscured in darkness, with subtle hints of the jaw, cheek, and mouth visible. A single extremely powerful overhead creamy-white spotlight illuminates the water immediately surrounding the subject. Create sharp reflected light patterns on the lower cheek, neck, and lips. Keep approximately 70% of the face obscured in deep navy shadows. Add subtle cyan reflections rippling across the water. Do not use frontal fill lighting.

COLOR GRADING: Deep midnight-navy water, creamy-white highlights, muted cyan reflections, and desaturated cold-blue shadows.

CAMERA AND COMPOSITION: Water-level perspective, medium close-up, 50mm cinematic lens, shallow depth of field, and realistic water reflections.

ATMOSPHERE: Surreal psychological cinema, mysterious underwater aesthetic, and dark luxury portraiture.

QUALITY: Ultra-photorealistic, 8K detail target, 300 DPI target, physically accurate water reflections, realistic wet-skin texture, and premium Midjourney-inspired rendering.
