PROMPT
Create a striking, high-contrast, close-up black-and-white portrait using the uploaded image as the primary facial reference.
Face Accuracy (Critical)
Match the face with 100% identity accuracy. Preserve exact facial structure, bone anatomy, jawline, cheekbones, forehead proportions, eyebrow thickness and shape, eye size and spacing, nose structure, lip shape, chin contour, and natural skin texture. Maintain natural asymmetry and authentic pores. Do not beautify, stylize, or alter proportions. Remove all accessories. The subject must remain clearly recognizable.
Framing & Composition
Vertical 2:3 aspect ratio.
Extreme close-up framed from slightly above the forehead to just below the chin.
Only the left half of the face is illuminated and fully visible; the right half disappears into deep obsidian shadow.
Eye positioned near the upper-right rule-of-thirds intersection.
Subject fills approximately 70–75% of the frame with negative space on the shadow side.
Background pure black, seamless, textureless.
Mood intimate, intense, claustrophobic.
Expression & Gaze
Solemn, piercing expression.
Direct eye contact.
Head straight, no tilt.
Lips slightly parted.
Emotion neutral but haunting.
Water & Skin Detail
Face covered in abundant water droplets — mix of fine mist and larger spherical beads.
Physically accurate droplets with strong specular highlights, some merging into micro-streaks.
Moist reflective sheen across skin.
Ultra-detailed pores, natural grain, crisp eyebrow texture.
Fine moisture on lips.
Catchlight sharp in iris; eye in perfect focus.
Lighting (Chiaroscuro – Critical)
Single directional light from camera-right, angled slightly downward.
No fill, no rim light.
Strong shadow falloff into pure black.
Deep crushed blacks with bright specular highlights on droplets.
Sculptural three-dimensional modeling of facial planes.
Optics & Quality
85mm–100mm macro portrait lens equivalent.
Shallow depth of field (f/2–f/2.8 feel).
Eye and nearby droplets razor sharp; ear softly fading.
Pure monochrome greyscale with full tonal range.
Ultra-realistic 8K studio photography, high micro-contrast, very subtle fine film grain, no digital artifacts.
