Sunstrip

Use the uploaded photo strictly only for subject’s facial identity reference. Preserve the person’s natural face shape, facial proportions, skin tone, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, facial hair if present, and overall likeness. Do not beautify, reshape, masculinize, feminize, or change the person’s identity. Create an ultra-realistic cinematic fine-art portrait in a vertical 4:5 composition. Show the subject in a tight head-and-neck portrait, nearly front-facing with only a subtle three-quarter turn toward camera-left. Keep the head still and natural, with the gaze directed slightly past the camera toward camera-left. The expression is calm, serious, introspective, and intense, with relaxed facial muscles and closed lips—never smiling or exaggerated. Hair should appear naturally textured, with realistic individual strands and a few loose strands falling across the forehead. Preserve the subject’s natural hair color from the uploaded photo. Lighting is the main visual feature: render the portrait almost entirely in deep monochrome black, charcoal, and muted cool gray tones. A single narrow horizontal strip of warm golden-amber light passes cleanly across both eyes, the bridge of the nose, and the upper cheeks, as though direct sunlight is entering through a very narrow window slit. The light band must have crisp, clearly defined top and bottom edges, remain narrow, and create a strong contrast against the surrounding darkness. The golden light should reveal detailed eyelashes, eye reflections, eyebrow texture, pores, and subtle cheek texture, but it must not make the eyes look supernatural or change their natural iris color. Keep all warmth strictly inside this narrow light strip; the rest of the face, hair, neck, clothing, and background should remain heavily desaturated and shadowy. Frame the face large in the composition, with the eyes placed near the upper third. Let the hair occupy the upper frame naturally, while the jaw, neck, and shoulders gradually disappear into rich black shadow. The subject wears a plain black collared shirt or dark jacket that blends softly into the darkness. Background: pure seamless black with no visible objects, texture, light sources, or environmental detail. Rendering quality: extremely realistic skin pores, subtle natural imperfections, detailed facial hair or stubble where applicable, sharp eyelashes, realistic hair strands, controlled micro-contrast, rich blacks, deep shadow retention, and premium editorial retouching. Preserve realistic skin texture; do not smooth the face excessively. Camera style: tight 85mm portrait lens, eye-level camera with a very subtle low-angle feel, f/2.0, shallow depth of field, ISO 100, studio-quality sharpness, cinematic high dynamic range. Mood and style: mysterious, powerful, luxurious, dark editorial fashion photography, cinematic black-and-gold fine-art portrait. Avoid: colorful lighting outside the eye band, broad sunlight across the full face, glowing or fantasy eyes, harsh face paint effect, overexposed gold highlights, flat lighting, visible background details, soft blurry eyes, artificial skin smoothing, exaggerated expression, smile, accessories, glasses, hats, jewelry, text, watermark, logo, cartoon, CGI, illustration, painting, lens distortion, low-resolution details.
